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

[Henadic Theologian]

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

There are still odd follows in the Occult community that believe Cthulu & the Necromaticon iis real despite Lovecrafts protestations otherwise.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Forge of the Artificer has plenty of new content despite being a small book. Bastions, airships, three campaign outlines…

I don’t think the new Ravenloft book will have significant repetition beyond things being updated mechanically. I’m pretty sure new campaign outlines have already been mentioned.

The price indicates that it is larger, for sure.

sure, but larger book does not equal large bestiary. VGR was a full book and had around 30 monsters

I suspect this is going to be complementary, not a replacement, since so much of Van Richten's is effectively system neutral.

I too hope it's complementary, but there's also parts of me that hope it also returns some of the domains back to their original configuration (namely, Adam's realm of Lamordia and pre-Death/Necropolis Darkon). Having Cthulhu gives me hope, but reprinting the races from Van Richten's makes me a bit underwhelmed.

Still hoping for the day they try and attempt a solid revision of House on Griffon Hill.

I'll believe that...but I doubt WotC will be overly concerned with that.

Second the Gryphon Hill adventure. I was really hoping that was what we were gonna get but that was probably a stretch. Maybe someday!

 

[TravDoc42]

I'm hoping for more Ravenloft monsters! There's always room for more spooky critters!

 

[Kobold Avenger]

I'm very sure many of the changes to the Dark Lords remain. They did have Viktra Mordenheim in a recent novel, I think that's a clear sign that the Dark Powers decided that Mordenheim should be Viktra for a while, as they continue to torment Mordenheim from reincarnation to reincarnation

Yeah, but I doubt there is going to be any other venue for Cthulu forthcoming.

I legit don't think we'll get any of the changes undone, through we might get some additional info pulled from older sources. But we are not getting a book that contradicts VRGR.
