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
Upsetting character idea- reborn ranger swarm keeper who's swarm is zombie limbs.
"A crawling claw???!!! How cuuttee"
I am unreasonably excited for this book.
A swarm of Zombie heads rolling, dragging on the tongues, jumping with jaw movments
I'm picturing some necramorph-style ambulation for the different zombie parts.
I can't wait to use this on my players.
Weird lol, just have them rolling around x'D
It's a good thing I always made a habit of burning zombie corpses whenever I play D&D
Ravenloft is a haunted biome from dwarf fortress. You skin an animal and it's skin inchworms across the floor to attack you.
My players were new to 5E, and they didn't know about the standard zombie's save to avoid dropping to 0hp. I modified it on the fly - they drop when you take them to 0, but if they make the save, they get back up on their next turn and start coming after you again. Spooked them right out, and they're now adopting that for their own campaigns.
Great idea. I think I'll take that myself!
Ooooo. I love the idea of a Lich or undead spellcaster being inside the Zombie Clot and piloting it like an undead mech. Maybe the party fights them in a Warforged Titan or colosus
Yes!!!
In my first D&D game, we ended up in Ravenloft and my DM got us to the point where just feeling someone's hand on our shoulder had us all jumping. It was amazing.
No-neck romancer!? Sounds terrifying! 6:22
I am so psyched for this book to release!
A swarm of feet is a JoJo stand.
A swarm of Feet haha. Awesome as always guys!!
So, Todd, not sure if you're aware of this yet, but you (or your editor) spelled Meagan's name wrong in your intro.
Loving these videos! You guys are awesome
Thanks so much for doing this video! So excited to put interesting zombie mechanics into my own game
Wait...I thought the new Ravenloft book had a disclaimer in it somewhere about not scaring/triggering your players? Or is that just Internet rumor?
Its there. Multiple reviews have made mention of having a conversation with your players first to make sure they wont be too uncomfortable🙄
@@soulcrow7651 Wow. I hate Post-Tasha's 5e.
@@dm_curt on the one hand I understand why they do it and I hope it has longevity. On the other hand people need to challenge themselves and not seek the comfort of a trigger warning filled bubble wrapped existence.
It better scare me or any of my players or it’s a waste of money.
Book of Vile Darkness had one too. It’s to make sure you get players/parents are content warned. Kids play D&D too.
Zombies are the best. Night of the walking dead, one of the original ravenloft adventures is one of my favourites. Can't wait to frighten people again with it!
For my campaign, they are not just zombies, they are contagious too, so if my players drop to negative hps they need to overcome a saving throw equal to their formula to survive lethal damage (5+damage received) to avoid becoming one... Of course my zombie monsters give a little more xp than the regular ones
Love it! Love it! Love it!
This is the content I prefer ^^
So, basically, ending up inside the Zombie Clot means you die by very low grit sandpaper?
Todd. What kind of ants have you been seeing?
There a long of creepy monsters that did not make the 5 Ed version but I am trying to convert monsters from the 3.5 dnd books for ravenloft
Any chance you can review the new Hellboy RPG? It is actually part of D&D and Wizards of the Coast.
Zombie Clot = Zombie power ranger or Zombie titan?
What about Zombie Cow heads? That would freak me out!
Hello fireball my old firend, I've come to talk to you again...
"Making ______ scary again." LOL
If the Zombie Clot doesn't have an ability where they can fling a portion of itself that creates 1d10 zombies at the site of the impact, I will add that.
Finally! With this many zombies, I can be the BB zombie killer, I want play!
Can't wait to use these ideas to terrify my players.
To think that AD&D2e Ravenloft had a problem with TPK ?
Well i see a bag of holding full of zombie limbs in the future what fun wonder if you can make a zombie plaguespreder with creat undead
🔥🔥🔥
If you die and rise as a zombie you can't be resurrected, right?
I think a wish spell might be the only way
A swarm of feet?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME ?! 🤢🤮
Cant what to make walking dead style campaign
0:14 Make Monsters Scary Again! lmfao.
I want to add a like but it's perfectly at 666 likes.
