I want to go back to personalized journals like we did for your first night in Barovia. But I wanted to change things up a bit. To focus more on collaborative storytelling.
To that end, I've created your own PRINTABLE handout and notes packets for Act 2. It will let you take notes during sessions, and is a tool other DMs have suggested.
It has a city map, a place to put down items and bonds you acquire in the city, pages for notes about your character and others, and artsy stuff.
Homework:
Before Friday's session, please fill out the
NIGHTTIME ENTRANCE FORM, found in the handout. The preferred way to share it is via post on the ROLL20 forums. Other options are email, or DMing me the answers. You are creating an actual item available for audit at the town hall and immediately view-able to the guards.
Your prompt for filling it out is:
The two guards at the City Gates have just seen what transpired on the Old Svalich Road less than a quarter mile in front of them. They stare at you wide eyed and stammer.
Finally, they visibly pull themselves together and confer quietly.
One guard rushes back into the city - yelling for a supervisor and backup - while locking the gate behind him.
The remaining guard approaches you and nervously pushes an official-looking paper into your hands.
"Look, I don't know who you are, or what exactly just happened out there, but everyone has to fill out this form if they are entering the town after dusk."
"Baron Vargas would have our hides if we broke his decree."
"Hey Szoldar, why are you out so late? Wait - where's Yevgeni?"
