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
ive been playing a gnome squidling mercy monk for 7 levels now. mobile plus spider climb means i can drop down on enemies from above. give them a few bites and tentacle slaps and run away. I also flavored my stunning strikes as a mini-mind blast
Oh wow I never realized the squidling started as a Kenreck brain child
Before this video even ended, I messaged my DM on Discord with a picture of the Gnome Squidling, simply captioned: "Okay, hear me out!"
I have to say the squidling is such a great legacy to have.
New encounter: 3 Gnome Ceremorphs in a trench coat try to rob a bank with their laser pistols and mind powers
I just made a PC version of Vasilka as a reborn barbarian and heavily modified the battlerager to become a super grappler that does bludgeoning instead of piercing, and has the features of the harness built in cause she is a flesh golem doing 14 + con for AC.
Functional and fits the idea.
Using dark gifts like symbiotic being and echos to represent the fractured memories inside a flesh golems brain can really give the flavor you want from such a being.
Three squidlings in a cloak.
The implications here boggle the mind.
The spider climb would really facilitate a gnome size getting that brain bite.
I love mind flayers but this never even crossed my mind, I was looking at dark gift symbiote and questioning it
3 Squidlings in a coat =Advanced version of Octopus dad.
Awesome idea! Can't wait to try this out and use your findings in my own campaigns and adventures with my wife.
I did something similar for a level 17 one-shot, but I made him a soulknife rogue instead, and made it somewhere in-between a regular gnome and a squidling (no tentacles, but sharp teeth, black eyes, and purple skin). It was highly entertaining.
I use this build pretty much, but I've flavoured my character to be an ulitharid who's convinced he can coexist with humans
I love it. Fantastic idea.
I love this!
Oooooo, I have a GOO Svirfneblin Lock and this would be a perfect final form 😂
So this is how I play octodad
Ty for a great video I am going to run this past my dm
This is so cool! Can you please do a video on the new parasite/symbiotic dark gift and cool character ideas using it?
I am currently playing a squidling child in a mini campaign. It's a horror fun house, so I get to climb around, petrify my enemies (consider swapping hold person into your psionic spells) and doing some psychic damage and mind washing. It's very chaotic, but I love it a lot. Not sure I would like it in full campaigns, but in this mini it's a blast. The perfect combo of cute and horrifying. Thanks a lot for both the conception and the build!
A strange idea: a Reborn barbarian. But have it be a warforged. That somehow had a human mind or consiousness planted into it. And the person is not really "in control" as much as they are watching through autopilot.
Can take an approach like they were a pacifist. But in combat the defences of the warforge take over when it rages, forcing the person to watch/ be the implementation for violence.
In Dungeons & Dragons Online you go to Fred the Mindflayer to ReSpec your character build ;-)
"Gnome squidlings"? 😲
Is it a silly idea, or a cilia idea?
3 words, ghostwise halfling squidling/mindflayer
sending this to my DM for our upcoming Curse of Dimitrescu campaign
Use the circlet of human perfection if they really want to hide what they are or are ashamed of it.
Every social encounter is now screwed.
Yah i've already made a mind flayer using the dhampir lol aberrant mind sorc - oh thats what youve done lol
do the lineages stack on top of the initial race choice or does it replace the race choice? It looks you only get to keep the proficiencies, not the other racial features, unless I'm reading it wrong.
Lineages give two skill profiencies. If you gain it in a campaign through story however, you can choose to keep special speeds (flying, swimming, etc) instead.
@@jackdizzy123 - right so you'll lose any race-specific features, like a Grung's Poison - correct?
@@JamieWilkinson1983 correct!
Nah those things ate my party
It just seems to me that 5E is turning into 3.5E. Savage species anyone?
I want one! 🤗 🦑
SPOILER ALERT !!!! Yea, don't be a Gnome Squidling if you meet my party. We just last Tuesday ran into them in Ice Wind Dale and promptly killed them as quickly as we could. We even let the golem get of an attack to stop them.
Cute and Disgusting. Yum!
