imagine being this tone deaf to a game designed to a mockery of controversial video games

bro WHERE IS SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI

2:22 Such racial stereotypes are needed to add extra 'offensiveness' This review is pointless and misses the entire point of Postal 2's black comedy.

Fun fact, my character was unknowingly Strahd's lover via Vasili. Crafty mother fucker.

I kind of want to play Ireena as her own person separate from Tatyana's life. I like the idea of Ireena saying "I'm not Tatyana! I'm not your wife, I'm not Sergei's wife, I'm not a plaything, I'm not a thrall, I'm not any of the hundreds of names that everyone wants to give me! I'm my own person, who is getting out of this town! And whatever laws or reality-bending levers you've got to pull, you're gonna do it!" Bonus points if Strahd asks "But why would I? You're exactly where you're supposed to be, Tatyana."

Here's Strahd's way to undo the curse. Instead killing his brother, he chops half the brothers man-hood off, or maybe castrate him, but when he does so, his brother is unconscious and does not know Strahd did so. Later as his brother has a relationship, its on like Donkey Kong, but his lady will eventually lose interest in a dude that cannot give her tickets to Pound Town, and as such, Strahd can woo her, and then make a deal with the Dark Powers to make him the Strongest One their Is, in the Mighty Maca Man sense, and then her feminine hypergamy will kick in and she'll be Strahd's. That is the new Ravenloft possible ending.

This module is written with certain conceits and prejudices, like the prejudice older men should NOT date younger woman, hence why it was mandatory for the original woman Strahd wanted not to love him, but what if, she did, and in real life, that actually happens potentially, not that most older woman love that, nor many older men who don't approve so this module is written to cater to their approved attitudes. Free this module, what if Irena feels the way she feels but there is a process that can open her up, like a Flower and when ready, like a Flower, she will open up and blossom. The wonderful thing is most players won't expect that, many won't like that, or approve. How can Strahd truly be free. The PC's need to help Strahd get Irena to become open-minded to true love, and ignore her own discriminatory attitude of Agism that she obviously holds. End the Agism in this module. Free Irena fro her own closed mind.

They divebombed Strahd from the highest tower XD

5:54 And in any case, there is a library in the Amber Temple that the text confirms 100% has ALL the wizard spells in the Player's Handbook.

Came here as I'm looking to DM this, but I'm also a player in a current playthrough. My timid undying warlock kobold had seduced Ireena and become braver in her presence and we made it to Krezk and decided to keep her with the party. Later a building was collapsing and I sacrificed myself to save Ireena and now she's become a paladin. Good to know her actual importance now.

I want to GM this using the Hardcore rules of D&D. I'll probably model my version of Strahd allow after Angelus though. I've been studying Barovia, just to accurately portray this character. Seems like Strahd would be a master at Gaslighting too. Seems like a fun villain

This took place in curse of strahd but not to strahd. We had New player to the campaign like a session after being introduced we are fighting the Abby. This guy was lifted up 100+ feet in the air and decided to grab the wings and dive bomb to kill the Abby and himself. It was such a god of war moment

Give it a break, Man. Its a game, Postal was made to be controversial, So Just Critquing Postal on controversial topics Is The sole Lure for People making reviews like this. Either This is Amazing satire, or It went way over your head.

Great vid man!

In my Strahd campaign, I played as a young (early 20’s) woman who desperately wanted to become a vampire due to being in love with a vampiric circus ringleader who had been manipulating her for years. My DM did such a fantastic job of transferring her obsession onto Strahd with gifts, promises, and secrets. About halfway through the campaign, my PC made a plan with Strahd after revisiting the castle alone in the middle of the night, and was supposed to bring Ireena to him, as they had become very close trusted friends. After her little plan didn’t work, she turned on Strahd and the party protected her by keeping her away from him until the final battle, which obviously frustrated him since he didn’t have an easy in anymore. It was such a fun campaign, and I wish I could do it all over again 😭

Well, of course, no plan ever survives contact with the party. That's why I never plan what will happen, only set up a situation, and then react as I think would be appropriate. Great guide, though.

Have you ever played Legacy of Kain? I roleplayed Strahd as Kain 👌🏼

Hope my party doesn't see this, but I'm planning on playing Strahd as someone who was corrupted by dark magic and driven by love and remorse rather than just being a fucked up monster all the way through. In the book, there are tons of legends and superstitions about Barovia, the Vistani and Strahd that the book insists are all real, no questions asked. I thought it would be interesting to flip those myths and legends on their head, so that the world has a bit more depth to it. For example, in my version, Sergei is a widely celebrated figure in Barovia as being the kind preist who was murders unjustly by the Devil Strahd. But in reality, Strahd was the kind and wise one while Sergei was a cruel and selfish man, who treated Strahd as his lesser and undeserving of the power bestowed on him. He had their mother and father killed, tried to rape Tatyana on the eve of their wedding day, and attempted to stage a coup against Strahd for control over Barovia.

I played this many times when I was a kid and remember getting a lot of enjoyment out of it as a Kid's First Platformer kind of deal. I too loved the adventures of the Great Valley Gang and it was great being able to play as them. Looking at playthroughs of it as an adult reminds me of the early memories I have of going grocery shopping and everything looking huge even though it was a really small shop in reality. The maps of the levels certainly look tiny now and there is remarkably little content in it. It's clear it was a throwaway peice of cash in merchandise with not much effort put into it now (the graphics alone are quite poor for a game released near the end of the PS1 era) but as a kid all I was worried about was the fact Littlefoot was flying on a leaf or Ducky was jumping over lava using geysers and that was very cool to little me. At the end of the day it was a game made for little kids who probably needed a simple, low challenge, short game to get them started on gaming and using the Playstation controls. It still has a little place in the nostalgic corner of my heart anyway...

Im running CoS and I play strahd as a forgiving ruler. The hidden agenda is he is being nice but seeding distrust among the party themselves and is basically going to be like "If you kill your friend, Ill let you all go" For his entertainment He isnt actually going to let them go

you seem like a real square ⬛

Where are these cut scenes from??

I literally almost died of laughter when I heard how the plan fell apart to be precise the part where they yeeted strahd out the tower

OMG, when you introduced vasii van holz you used the same music I did for another thing in CoS, tho I dont use Vasili at all, I play Strahd as to pridefull to have alter egos. My Strahd is pretty honest to the players, will flat out ignore questions he doesnt want to answer. or just pretend there was no question asked

I see so many things simular to wow: shadowlands and Revendreth and Sire Denthrius. Overall it seems all RPG are inspired by DnD.

This is some Bram stoker stuff but better. At least it's all pg13 instead of that disaster from the 90s.

I'm sorry but your players did WHAT TO STRAHD!?

Wow. So narrator makes it a point to tell us Strahd and his brother look exactly alike, and Tatyana rejects strahd for looking old, but then takes his brother? I'd be pissed too.

Strahd is a bit reduced in power in 5e from his previous iterations. Also, if you can get Van Richten's guide to Vampires, it can provide quite a bit of flavor and power to vampires. Additional books detailing the Domains of Dread can help you handled game breaking things like divination.

But this is what makes it fun, it's a video game chill out dude

I am playing a sorcerer/man in the Iron mask who lived in an Insane asylum Till he was brought to Borovia. at level 4 I beat madam Eva's eye and she died, as well as the vistani. Strahd was PO'ed he used wish to reset the event, he later give me two gold coins I'm a dead man , But Avec my character is luring how Strahd thinks how he plays the game, Avec want his freedom, the only way is to beat the game not the D&D game but Strahd' game.

how is the dude shooting himself domestic violence?

Party: Ireena we did it we killed stradh. Hey where is our best buddy Vasili

Lol, you obviously don't get the point of the game

POSTAL 2 did get a Adults Only rating and had to actually had to remove some content.

I am continually tickled pink at how many Curse of Strahd players/DMs suggest that folks read I, Strahd. CoS pretty much completely ignores I, Strahd's canon, right down to the smallest detail like the name of Strahd's mom. Which is hilarious, given that the book was written to correct and codify what had been at the time a *wildly* divergent and contradictory canon so far. Both canons are fine, but CoS and I,S should not be experienced together.

I'm thinking of tricking my players into thinking strahds alter ego is the faithful companion so they turn over all the anti-strahd swag to him

Why only up to 5th lvl spells tho? Shouldn’t he be like a lvl 20 wizard by now?

Okay.....I really REALLY have a love hate relationship with postal 1&2 On one hand ik this game, is BAD. not because of "being broken" or "it doesn't run". I say this game is bad MORALLY. This is a game where you play as a "black trenchcoat clad gunman".....sound familiar Having said that postal 1, is FUCKING DARK.....those transition screens, those nightmarish writings, THOSE NOISES WITH THE TRANSITION SCREENS! And the game is QUIET. You kill people and it's silent.....THAT IS FUCKING HORRIBLE AND JUST PLAIN UGLY. then THIS game....ended up with the postal dude (otherwise being the most VILE THING to ever exist in gaming) SHOOT UP A SCHOOL😭 (JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!?)......but these kids SURVIVED!? THOSE KIDS SURVIVED A ROCKET LAUNCHER...................... sooooo imma be assuming that very elementary school had Jackie Chan as a coach? And then there's postal 2!? Postal dude escaped the asylum and got married!? On the other hand.....I CANT HELP IT. POSTAL 2 JUST PLAIN REMINDS ME OF GTA 5 FIRST PERSON MODE AND LIKE FALLOUT 3 LIKE THIS WAS IMPRESSIVE FOR 2003 AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....I JUST FEEL BAD FOR LIKING THOSE OTHERWISE PEICE OF REPREHENSIBLE TRASH

I would try a new approach.. Give Strahd his love; Tatyana.

*intense looking for Mario & Luigi series mention*

Well see here's your first problem: you smoked no crack at all

Bruh, just have it so that when they reach Strahd's keep, they find Vasili's penis or whatever and no Strahd. Then, they're all like "OH MY ASSORTED PANTHEON OF GODS, VASILI IS JUST STRAHD IN DISGUISE!" Then, they bust down the door of the church on the "if anyone objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace" and yell "I OBJECT, MOTHAFUCKA!"

Strahd fell off his tower? In the book I, Strahd, he would assume bat form and fly.

I played an oath breaker paladin I killed strahd with his own undead

clicked on this video really hoping to not see the same basic undertale, mother 2 and 3, and chrono trigger, and got dissapointed lmao hard to find other good turn-based rpgs other than these 4 though, cant blame you too much

In my curse of strahd game my half elf trickster is in borovia, to be strahd’s bride

This was fantastic, and so helpful for my altered campaign with Strahd. Thank you!!

I channel the count from Sesame Street
