    Tell your printer to print in black and white, switch it to “draught mode” if you have it.

    Innsmouth added as new Ravenloft Domain of Dread, bringing Lovecraft to D&D

    As has been stated several times already, Cthulhu is confirmed to be the dark lord. And a key point is the Innsmouth domain is much larger than the town of that name. It’s like Barovia in that respect. The domain includes a large island on which the town is situated at one end, and, in true...

    D&D General (2024) Is it just me or has Unarmored Defense become really common, now?

    You didn't? I thought the whole subclass was based on this:

    Colour it purple and no one will notice.

    Full plate has a 15 STR requirement. A dex build can dump stat strength, with all the initiative, stealth and ranged benefits that come with it. Also, I use dual scimitars now. Dual scimitars are cool.

    D&D already has 3-4 variants on Deep Ones.

    If you scale it so the houses are a sensible size, the footbridges become very wide.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ravenloft: The Horrors Within preorder page lists the book's contents

    These two are interesting, the only domain labelled slasher in VGR was Valachan, and occult detective stories was the Varge Agency (which I think was cool, but it wasn’t really fleshed out). I ran a slasher in the Carnival though, and I guess occult detectives might be found in Innsmouth.

    Sithicus isn’t a new domain, it’s an old domain that wasn’t in VGR. Innsmouth is new - it has never been in any previous product. They are putting Soth front and centre in the marketing, and we have seen his page. He isn’t not going to be in the book, and therefore his domain is in too. The...

    D&D General Unearthed Arcana presents another three villainous subclasses

    Rather than the Book of Vile Darkness it's the Book of Mildly Distasteful Twilight.

    Quite. For the most part I'm not expecting significant changes to most stat blocks. Why would there be? WotC did do some recalculation on the maths underlying CR, which would explain the damage change. Zombie Limbs are also in this pack, and have bigger changes, losing grasping limbs (I assume...

    The text says the gallows are beside the bridge, which I assume is the one crossing the river rather than one of the two connecting raised areas. It's not marked though. I would put it on the north bank where there is a clear spot to the left of the track. The three patches of Larian gas don't...

    I suspect "Innsmouth" includes R'lyeh in the under water part, so it would probably be a bit redundant.
