I've recently started DMing Curse of Strahd with a couple of my players, I've already compensated there being less players but that's not the concern of this post. I'm wondering if anyone else who has DM'd Curse of Strahd has tips and tricks for my players to get a real spooky vibe. I've already took some inspiration from Google but I'd like to know other DMs input.
This Reddit Thread Compilation is by far the greatest companion for an Adventure in 5e I have yet seen. It's called 'Curse of Strahd: Reloaded,' and is put together by DragnaCarta. Some of the Reddit threads that inspired it can be found under 'Fleshing Out Curse of Strahd,' by MandyMod. Here are the links:
Past that I looked through SlyFlourish' articles and PowerScore, though they weren't nearly as robust as those two Reddits. Still found some useful stuff. I'd also consider adding a Greenhag NPC by the name of Jeny Greenteeth, who I believe came from the AL series for CoS and acts as a simple vendor and clerical Spellcaster.
Do me a favor and let me know if these help; they were incredibly useful to me and I like to know if I was able to pay it forward by helping other people find them
Thanks, I've read the first couple parts and it seems very promising, I also think having Strahd go for that Sun Sword would be very interesting. Appreciate it

I had some success conveying the seriousness of the threat by having Strahd try to steal the sun sword...
