Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft Returns to a Beloved D&D Setting

Long-time Dungeons & Dragons fans will recognize Ravenloft from its first module, originally published for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in 1983—more recent adventurers may have visited the setting in Curse of Strahd (revamped for fifth edition), too.

Ravenloft is one of the most popular settings in Dungeons & Dragons, tapping into the wonder, terror, and imagination of classic Gothic horror. In addition to pulling from those traditional themes, the design team for Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft took major steps to create a more diverse and representative cast of characters in this updated look at the setting.

Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft Enhances Any Campaign, From Creepy to Downright Terrifying

Dungeon Masters can run the included adventure, scatter some supernatural story hooks into their own campaign, set their adventures in any of the Domains of Dread (or customize their own!), and everything in between with this campaign sourcebook.

Domains of Dread make great adventure settings, from one-shot locked-room murder mysteries in a single castle, to a battle royale in a vast forest, to a whole realm overrun by zombies that the players conquer over the course of a whole campaign—the possibilities are endless!

Whether your Dungeons & Dragons fans are looking to run their first adventure or want to throw a new story hook into their long-running campaign, Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft has all the bone-chilling (or just a bit creepy!) tips and tricks Dungeon Masters are looking for.
