The Characters of Legends of Barovia

For the roles in Legends of Barovia, I have selected actors who I envision would portray them in
the movie. However, these actors have undergone significant alterations and may not be easily
recognizable. To add a fun element, you could encourage your players to guess the actors and
offer rewards such as inspiration or other incentives. Tokens created by Tixu. Please note this is a
work in progress, I will be updating this periodically.
