A wonderful week has passed and I dearly hope you all had a great relaxing Memorial Day weekend. For me, I had the chance to pick up the Monster Manual 2 for 4th Edition. Rather than just give a full review...I'll simplify and say it's great...buy it if your a dm and you won't regret it.

In other news:
For those of you that haven't been following I've been running Expedition to Ravenloft converted over to 4th Edition. My players and I have been loving every moment of it ! Something odd though happened today. I was doing some research for this weekends game session and NORMALLY I'm not one for you tube videos...but I thought it'd give it a quick search when I found 3 user made videos done VERY well and captured the feeling of the first part of the campaign nicely.

I wish I had found these videos sooner but it gives you an idea of what my players have been through in the very beginning of this dark tale.

Speaking of Ravenloft I want to invite you all to the Gardens of Stone social group. After many conversations and advice going back and forth between me and Baron Semedi we decided to create a place where all of us Ravenloft gloom dwellers can go to post cool and interesting things. So head over there (you can go there via the link on my profile page) and join up. We'd love to hear your thoughts, old game sessions, new ideas...etc.

Later this week (hopefully today) I'll post the second part of our last game session where my players had an interesting dinner to say the least with Strahd. Misunderstood vampire just trying to get by? Or truly the Devil Strahd the villagers think him to be? You decide...
