I'm intrigued by the The Forest Kingdom Campaign Compendium, but I'm not familiar with Legendary Games. Does anyone know if Legendary Games has a good track record with 5e? Is their 5e material fairly balanced? Or is mostly quick-and-dirty conversions of Pathfinder material?

For those of you who have the new book or are planning on picking it up, Greg Bilsland tweeted out an update to the CoS product page that contains links to some resources including the handouts in the book's appendix. https://twitter.com/gregbilsland/status/705806194766516224 The update also...

Also, here's a link to the first Ravenloft upload, a style guide, on the DM's Guild. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/176276/Ravenloft--The-Dungeon-Masters-Guild?src=slider_view per the product page: "A guide to the themes, tone, and other relevant details specific to writing adventure content...

WoTC's Chris Lindsay just tweeted that Ravenloft has been opened to creators on DM's Guild. https://twitter.com/Onnatryx/status/705775691325947904 I think this is a huge announcement and the implications are obvious: what other settings will eventually be opened up? Eberron would allow for...

Here's a look at the table of contents from Curse of Strahd (which hits preferred stores in two days, and everywhere else 11 days later on March 15th). It shows the entire adventure, along with quite the pile of maps, handouts, and more. Barovia gets 10 pages, and the Village of Barovia a...

The Ampersand Cover for this issue is the best one I've seen so far. It screams Poe as much as it does Ravenloft. I would love a poster of this image.

According to the podcast, one side of the map will be the re-imagined Castle Ravenloft and the other side will be a collection of some of Mike Schley's maps. Chris Perkins is on record saying that Barovia will be expanded on in CoS. Couple that with the comments on the podcast about the new...

Yup, I've been keeping an eye on the forums since the release and it seems there are several people, like me, who have decided to make their own content. Initially I wasn't to thrilled with doing this myself but know that I've made a couple of things (albeit they're a little sloppy), I'm...

I like it so far though I'll be more happy with it once the February updates hit and add the encounter builder and the monsters. I spent last night getting the hang of the interface and reading some of the documentation; as someone who'd had zero experience with Hero Lab I can say that's there...

I hope Barovia will be added to the DM Guild; there's plenty of material to convert and/or expand upon.

Per the Geek and Sundry interview linked by Von Ether: Chris Perkins: "What we’ve done in Curse of Strahd is given you a bigger sandbox. The land of Barovia is more detailed than it has been previously, and there are more cool places to go and more cool people to meet, and a mechanism to guide...

Finally!! Is it March 15th yet?

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be spending the rest of the day reading through these. Also, for anyone that purchases this, take note of the list on page 2 that shows a few upcoming 5th edition books including one entitled "Book of Alchemy".

I don't know that the options that you listed need to be independent of each other. For instance, I can see presenting the DoD as a campaign setting for those DMs that want that option while still maintaining the possibility that an adventuring party from the Sword Coast stumbled into the wrong...
