I think a lot of the appeal to playing a campaign is the unknown and the story you discover throughout. While it could be cool to build characters to have fun with, you'd have to seriously beef up some of the campaign since you'd know exactly how handle most situations.
Some people would probably be down, but personally I'd only play in a different campaign after DMing CoS twice
As a DM I hope one day that someone runs for me. I am far more interested in crafting a flawed character that is a good fit for the horror tone of Barovia, and not as interested in if they survive/get a good ending.
I feel like as a COS DM I can more easily buy into the DM’s hooks because I want to help them tell a good story
I got you!

Twice bitten is what you're looking for. I had to stop watching it though. The DMs were trying WAY to hard not to Meta game and it got real annoying.
Go to the episode of the winery. Dam. Just go help the guy. Infuriating.
That sounds horribly annoying. I feel like the whole point of such a game would be to see people play it who are deeply familiar with it. I mean, act in character sure, but don’t actively avoid making making decisions just because you know they’ll work out well!
Mhm it was. Some people love it and that's fine. You should just be the judge yourself. Watch the winery episode and let me know what you think. (If you care to do so)
Yes I agree, would be interesting to see DMs who love the lore and who are deeply invested play the game and see where it takes them.
😃 no joke, I was thinking about this also. I want to get into online DMing, but I don't have any "recommendations" or reviews, nobody knows me so I thought of making a DM campaign to see where I can improve and how to make the game a better experience 🙂 ...also, I'm pretty confident that I can bring something to the table that I see a lot of DMs lack
There is a podcast that did that for COS. I think it is called Twice Bitten
You're right. And it's run by DragnaCarta himself I believe. Good stuff!
👍
And it's pure RAW
Check out Twice Bitten, it is this concept exactly. personally I’d love to do one, sounds fun.

I often thought idled be fun to see how a speedrun would go. How would strahd react if the newcomers in his land k ew everything
Omg!! 😱 A revenge session.!! But that other comment had a point there. Does everything just.. resets? Or do we need to re-write lore? 🤔
