Dungeons & Dragons Expands Beyond the Gothic Horror in Curse of Strahdwith Van Richten’s Guide to RavenloftD&D Brings Multiple Horror Genres to (Un)Life Including Slasher Horror, Macabre Fairy Tale, and Zombie Apocalypse.
One of the most popular adventures published by D&D in the last few yearswas Curse of Strahd which begins when characters are pulled by creeping mists in to a land called Barovia. But Strahd’s domain is just one of the many Domains of Dread that make up the horror-themed setting of Ravenloft. Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenlof trefreshes the setting by giving Dungeon Masters descriptions of more than 30 Domains of Dread beyond Barovia as well as the tools to create their own horrific stories, including details on each domain’s Darklord, a ready-to-play adventure, new monsters, lineages and sub-classes. Be afraid for Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft to pull D&D fans into the Mists on May 18. “I’m a huge fan of all things horror, so it was an absolute thrill to frame this book around bringing frightening elements like mummy lords, cosmic terrors, and urban legends to more D&D tables,” said Wes Schneider, senior game designer and lead designer of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. “Working with exciting new voices in horror and visual artists like D&D concept artist Shawn Wood was essential to make sure we’re updating the aesthetic for today’s fans while staying true to the roots of Ravenloft.”The correspondence of Rudolph Van Richten and other heroes of Ravenloft, like Ezmerelda d’Avenir and the Weathermay-Foxgrove Twins, introduce a new generation of monster hunters to the Lands of the Mists. Some of the Domains of Dread might feel eerily familiar to fans such as Lamordia, which explores the horror of experimentation on creating undead beings from deceased body parts by Dr. Viktra Mordenheim. Other horrors include the surreal, fairytale masquerades of Dementlieu; treachery in the war-torn rain forests of Kalakeri; and the endless zombie hordes of Falkovnia. Van Richten’s Guide includes rules and advice for DMs to create custom domains and Darklordsby portraying established horror tropes or whatever special new blend of terror they can imagine. Players can create more terrifying characters with Dark Gifts that provide roleplaying ties tothe Domains of Dread by bestowing benefits that may have a deadly cost. With Van Richten’s Guide, players can also roll upa dhampir who’s been created by a vampire, a hexblood descended from a hag, or a reborn who’s been brought back from the dead.Two new subclasses further flesh out the options with the College of Spirits for bards and the Undead pact for warlocks, as well as new backgrounds to explore and trinkets to collect. Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft features a cover by Anna Podedworna available everywhere and an alternate cover by Scott M. Fischer only available through game stores.The mists beckon on May 18, 2021! - Ігри
I'm loving this relentless barrage of Ravenloft videos, thank you Todd!
I don’t know if any can be as excited for this book as much as Todd.
What i like about strad is how he is almost pitiable . He was a person like us at some point but he became a monster.
we killed Strahd right before this book came out. i went with Lord Soth invading the Amber Temple and the third gem being in a rift to the Shadowfell
Fantastic Interview! A plethora of Knowledge in such a short time!! Love it!
Heh, everybody has their price. Just make sure your players don't find out too soon that Strahd's price is freedom
Yes…I thought this also
Time for the Grand Conjunction Campaign hehe
🔥🔥🔥
The Dracula in the book is not redeemable at all, it's just the later versions that made him all sexy 😂
Blame the 90s Bram Stokers Dracula movie for that one! It's a great movie! But it takes some different directions with the original story! And now I want to go watch the movie again!
"He's not something to be desired"
Wrong
That's coward talk! lol
desired? no, overcome and made a slave? yes
Haha the branding and design looks suspiciously close to DndBeyond xD xD xD
This looks like how Todd did things before being picked up by D&D Beyond. So Id say it's more like they bought his format when they hired him, but not the exclusive rights to it.
@@probablythedm1669 His first video was posted 3 months ago right? Is that before DndBeyond??
It is the same location that he has been using since covid times when he was still working with dndbyond, so it would look similar. However, I do recall a post from another youtuber who asked about his graphic "How TODD/To D&D", and asked him about it since I guess it was his branding scheme.
