Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

nothing wrong with cosmic horror CR 25 is disappointing though (personally I would not give him a stat block at all…)

I'm curious if he's a domain lord or are they doing something different with him. I mean, the Dark Powers couldn't hold a demigod, an Elder Evil seems a little out of their league...

So glad Matt Mercer landed the Strahd gig! Maybe his next game will be called Stakeheart?

Seriously . . . was Strahd always an elf?

"Bat" ears is how I pictured it.

that’s… different

It is hit or miss with the covers. I find some I like the alt cover better, but not sure on this one. I'll see if it grows on me.

And to be honest, last year WotC did an update on Forgotten Realms and Eberron, this year apparently Ravenloft and maybe Dark Sun... If they do two setting updates per year, they'll be running out of settings in a couple of years... Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Spelljammer, Planescape, and none of the other settings have been touches in 30 years... Maybe they'll plug in some MtG settings, but it'll be bare. What would they do after the initial 4-5 years?

I've been sitting on a reboot of Birthright for a while and I've got a few ideas for Council of Wyrms or Jakandor and I'm not even a professional TTRPG designer. It wouldn't be that hard.

Maybe by 2031 we can see a new Ghostwalk edition.

Year zero: Greyhawk

Year Two: Ravenloft and Dark Sun(?)
Year Three: Dragonlance and Planescape
Year Four: Spelljammer and New Setting

Edit: I fully misread the list. Ignore me.

Am I the only one that's disappointed by the lack of a 'Curse of Strahd' anniversary edition?

Didn't we already get one some time back? Not sure if a 3rd is needed IMO.

ADORE THAT ALT COVER!!!

Lupin as in the dog PC species from Mystara? While I guess it's sort of Werewolf themed for the book, without being the Shifter.
