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

[Parmandur]

I wager factions might get similar feats to express "beliefs" as well one day...

They went there with the Forgotten Realms, yes.

 

[Artamo]

Now I gotta admit - I’m curious to see the Beadle and Grimm set for this. My wallet’s afraid!

 

[Parmandur]

I’mma be real, I kind of hate the idea of Cthulhu being in this book. I’m fine with him getting a D&D stat block, I just don’t want more freaking crossovers. Let Ravenloft be Ravenloft and Cthulhu by Torchlight be Cthulhu by Torchlight. We don’t need to throw every cool thing into a blender together, we can enjoy them both separately, for the things that make them distinct from each other, not in spite of them.

Thing is, Cthulu is public domain and won't offend any real world religions.

 

[Belen]

I like the idea of Ravenloft but I’d have wanted something new.

 

[mamba]

I'd wager good money they aren't going to invalidate anything from VRGR.

I hope they also do not repeat a lot of it…

 

[Remathilis]

Planescape Factions Berk.

 

[mamba]

Even if a million people bought Van Richten's and the low end of active players is half of those who use Beyond, that would mean up to five million people could purchase this book and not see repetitive stuff.

‘would’ being the operative word here. Not that many people will buy it and the overlap between those that do and those that have VRG is probably greater than your numbers suggest.

More importantly that don’t they have something new to offer rather than recycling the same content 5 years later again…

 

[Remathilis]

I don't think it will repeat a whole lot, barring the updated mechanics and actual Dark Lords. I mean, Cthululu already shows they are adding new ideas to the Domains of Dread...

You don't think selling to the non-completionist makes sense?

it does, that is why I do not want the repeats… unless I were a completionist, why would I rebuy stuff

As I said, there is enough material to fill two books, you do not need to make one obsolete to have a reason for another
