It's cool to have an episodic backup. We just don't play when someone can't make it. It would be nice to still get together and have a game.
Curse of Strahd is truly fantastic as a setting and basic ideas but the module itself is a piece of crap.
Hammering it into shape, making sense of it, and making it all hang together has been a craptonne of work, and I've used loads of 3rd party stuff. The Curse of Strahd subreddit is AMAZING for that.
It's truly a pile of hot garbage RAW, but I'm having the time of my life customizing and making it mine.
