Many of the threads will actually cancel out, and it's an exercise in filtering: once you've got the reading (or have chosen the results you like), the DM's job becomes filtering out what isn't useful, and then spinning a tale from what's left.The second thing it really could have used is a collection of sample Strahd encounters that aren't linked to particular locations - possibly organized by the progression of his mood towards the party (from amused to intrigued to emnity to controlled fury).

The first is a note that this book is full of threads, rather than a full true "path"; it's up to the DM to weave these threads into a story (I had to learn how much of the narrative I'd have to improvise by reading your outlines, which are an example of doing this sort of weaving). It's a world of vampire where life get easier,We have made so many persons vampires and have turned them rich, You will assured long life and prosperity, You shall be made to be very sensitive to mental alertness, Stronger and also very fast, You will not be restricted to walking at night only even at the very middle of broad day light you will be made to walk, This is an opportunity to have the human vampire virus to perform in a good posture.

Because of this, I recommend keeping all the PCs the same level and not worrying if a given player misses a session or two. Sean: I think that would be useful - a Strahd interaction guide/flowchart, or list of planned encounters that would help drive the story. That head only hisses.
