    \$\begingroup\$ @Rykara Your reframe invalidates this otherwises good answer. You should either rollback or include enough of the original such that this is still a valid answer to the question. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 2:05

    \$\begingroup\$ Curse of Strahd doesn't have that many encounters. We played it in sixteen sessions of with 0-3 encounters per session, and according to my GM it was "by the book". \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 5:40

    \$\begingroup\$ @kviiri Curse of Strahd is a sandbox - it has as many encounters as the DM and players want to use. My point is it takes approximately 200 encounters to go from level 1 to level 10 by the XP system. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 7:30

    \$\begingroup\$ @DaleM The book recommends awarding milestone experience (and is especially prominent in the Death House) so calculating just the number of encounters is not really a realistic expectation for most groups, though. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 22, 2019 at 8:08
