7 Blink-&-You'll-Miss-It Details for DMs in Curse of Strahd

Curse of Strahd has a lot of info in it - some of which is buried away, easy to gloss over and forget about, or where info concerning a particular NPC is spread across multiple chapters. In this video, I cover seven very easy-to-miss bits and pieces of information, based on my own experiences, having played and DMed CoS, and from what I've seen on various CoS forums online, such as on Facebook groups and the dedicated subreddit. Did you know them all already? Great - you're a CoS master! Do you know of anything I should've included, or that CoS DMs ought to (or need to) know? Why not less us know in the comments?
