CoS DMs: Let Your Players Play Whatever PC Species/Race They Want in Curse of Strahd (Well, Mostly)

I often see discussions online - on places like the Curse of Strahd subreddit and the CoS DMs Facebook group - where people ask about what PC races/species to allow in their CoS game. Some DMs advocate for only the core races from the Player's Handbook, and some go as far as to only allow humans and nothing else. I disagree with this. With a few small exceptions, I think it's safe to allow players to play any official 5E non-core race/species they want - even the more unusual ones. This video explains why, along with what those few exceptions are, and how to work around them (including anecdotes from my experience as a Curse of Strahd DM). #CurseofStrahd #Ravenloft Content warning: in this video I briefly talk about someone's experience with real-life racism to help illustrate one of the points. Spoilers warning: this video is intended for Curse of Strahd DMs, not players. If you're a player or would-be player of a CoS game, maybe pass this on to your DM first and get their thoughts on whether or not it's ok for you to watch it as well. 00:00 Intro 01:35 Spoilers warning 01:58 Why some DMs limit races/species 03:22 Let players play whatever they want (mostly) 04:15 The (few) possible exceptions 06:17 PCs can be pulled in from anywhere 07:01 ...Even Spelljammer! 08:02 Not much opportunity to play D&D 09:43 The issue with Barovians' "xenophobia" 12:31 The issue with vampire bites 13:19 A possible way to counter the 'no blood' issue 16:28 Outro Follow me on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/dmofthemists...
