Every time I see 5e mentioned anywhere on the internet, it's almost always in the context of a Curse of Strahd campaign. It seems to be the only 5e setting that anyone uses, why is that? Is it exceptionally good?
Personally, I've never played a premade campaign (only one-shots and stuff), it's always been stuff the GM has come up with themself. Do people not do that in 5e?
To be clear, I'm not hating on Strahd or premades at all, they're absolutely fine. Just wondering why this particular one is so prevalent.

I think its the only 5e premade that isn't in the forgotten realms setting.

Also who doesn't love fighting vampires and spooky stuff.

>Is it exceptionally good
Yes.

Just completed it. Shit gets weird fast in the Amber Temple.

It's exceptionally good, I like SKT more personally but it's still Good Shit. It's also really atmospheric and pretty iconic.

It's also a classic rerun. Ravenloft is one of the Quests 5e noobs like myself and my party hear about before we actually get around to playing.

It's one of the best modules ever published for D&D and its offshoots as a whole, and may very well usurp the original Ravenloft module. 5e is a great system and the setting is converted flawlessly, but even people who hate 5e have often said they love Curse of Strahd.

I'm running a Fate game about international relations creatively titled International Relations. Sunday afternoons, EST.

any room for a guy that gets off work monday trough friday at like 7:30pm and Saturday at 4pm central time?

I've played 5e once but more than willing to learn, I got started with 4e. I used to play with my friends but real life happened and we all moved away, I like playing divine characters like clerics, paladins, but i'd go hard with any class honestly.

I'm running this: >>52405383 which is Fate, but the way I'm doing it draws heavily from DnD. You basically pick a race and class from DnD/Pathfinder/Third Party/Homebrew, pick a concept for your character, and a flaw or negative thing. You run a city-state, and go through the wonders of international relations.
