Dungeon Masters are encouraged to use scenes that build apprehension and fear, culminating in the eventual face-to-face meeting with the nameless evil. Ravenloft is primarily a Gothic horror setting. Other Ravenloft Domains and Darklords were eventually added in various AD&D 2nd edition (and then later in 3rd edition) products establishing a core continent attached around Barovia which could be traveled to by others if their respective lords allowed entering or leaving their borders while some Domains remained isolated in the mists and were referred to as Islands. As a physical manifestation of that plane, lands, monsters and even people were created out of the mysterious mists, and the realm acted as a prison where one could enter or be transported, but means of escape were few. As originally established in the Ravenloft: Realm of Terror boxed set known as "the Black Box" released in 1990, The Ravenloft campaign setting was located in the Ethereal Plane. How Count Von Zarovich became the darklord of Barovia was detailed in the novel, I, Strahd: The Memoirs of a Vampire. Strahd Von Zarovich, a vampire in the original AD&D Ravenloft I6 module 1983, became the first Darklord, both ruler and prisoner of his own personal domain of Barovia. Each domain is tailored to and mystically ruled by a being called a Darklord who is forever trapped and surrounded by magical mists surrounding the domain.
It is an alternate time-space existence known as a pocket dimension or demiplane, called the Demiplane of Dread, which consists of a collection of land pieces called "domains", brought together by a mysterious force known only as the Dark Powers. Ravenloft is a fictional place, a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. Very different from anything in castle ravenloft where you can and WILL walk in circles without guidance.Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st and 2nd Editions ĭungeons & Dragons 3rd Ed.
Slavers is actually laid out in a logical enough fashion that you don't really need a map. I'm with you on Sunrise - I had to run that one scores of times for gear farming but it wasn't a chore. That is literally the only caveat and 90% of why I don't run Ravenloft(the other 10% is amber temple). I would like invitation to dinner 100 times more if the map actually worked. Most of the others - I can take em or leave em, but at least I don't dislike playing them the way I dislike playing some shit like ToEE or Slavers. I happen to believe that Invitation to Dinner is one of the best quests SSG/Turdbine have made in years.
Still, I don't mind Ravenloft for the most part. DDO always has a problem with multifloor maps, so Castle Ravenloft, Amber Temple, and Oath of Vengeance maps are only about halfway usable. Death House and Sunrise may as well not have maps.
