Fans of the demiplane of dread will be happy to hear that Wizards of the Coast is releasing Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. According to the WotC D&D Facebook page:
Fans of horror in Dungeons & Dragons know there is much more beyond the Gothic horror in 2016’s Curse of Strahd. That’s where Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft comes in with a refresh of more than 30 Domains of Dread and their infamous Dark Lords. Want to know what’s happening in the surreal fairy tale landscape of Dementlieu? Or in the dark jungles of Valachan? Or what magical horrors D&D players with Dark Gifts will have to contend against in Haslan? Van Richten will be your guide when the mist beckons on May 18th!
WotC has revised the Curse of Strahd adventure, and released it as a boxed set. According to WotC:
Bury Yourself in Gothic Horror
Unearth the terror of Ravenloft in this boxed adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia.
Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan.
A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.
Coffin Components
Curse of Strahd, one of the most popular Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game products of all time, split into three parts: a 224-page perfect-bound adventure for characters of levels 1–10, a 20-page Creatures of Horror booklet of new monsters that appear in the adventure, and an 8-page Tarokka Deck booklet.
A cover sheet with Strahd von Zarovich’s image on one side and Strahd’s monster stat block on the other.
A sturdy, four-panel Dungeon Master’s screen designed for use with the adventure.
A double-sided poster map showing the domain of Barovia on one side and Castle Ravenloft on the other.
54 foil-stamped Tarokka cards, which help determine the heroes’ path through the adventure.
A tuck box to hold the Tarokka deck.
12 postcards (3 copies each of 4 different cards), which you can use to invite friends to your game.
Is this new boxed set just a money grab? Is it in response to recent criticism to WotC handling of the handicapped NPC or the Vistini? In either case, will you be taking your players through the mists to the Demiplane of Dread?
