Don't know if someone posted this earlier, but I ran across these monsters being in the "Play Along" for the book, so I suspect they'll all be in the book (though I'm not sure about Lavender...)

Sithicus not being in the core book would be weird, given that Soth's art is prominently part of this year's road map and they're using Sithicus to promote the book.

it's in the preorder bonus adventure

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.

The "genres" seem to be enumerated separately from the Domains. I reckon these might look more like the Campaign Frames in the new Eberron book.

 

[Selas]

Seems that they're fleshing out some of the genres that were mentioned in VRGR as an afterthought in the "other horror genres" section

I wonder if Richemulot will make the cut. The themes explored by it, and the cultural vibe around it, seem like they'll be touched on by other Domains that have been confirmed, like Dementlieu.

The disease angle is unique to it, but I feel like the context of Van Richten's Guide being released in May 2021 might have made talk of contagions and quarantines more frightening at that time.

But who's to say, until we get a Table of Contents?

Borca, Dementlieu and Richemulot all feel similarly 17th century Europe(French). Maybe because the movies were all filmed on the same Hammer Studios backlot? They were all adjacent in the Core, and I don’t think VGR was bold enough in giving them distinct flavour.

What’s not to love about a COVID domain with eternal lockdown?!

I think Hazlan doesn’t really have much to offer, with Sithicus doing Dark Fantasy?

I find it good, but I feel that WotC might want to avoid the topic? Unsure.

And I agree about Hazlik! That makes sense to me!

Eh. Red Wizard of a Thay vs Knight of Solmonia. Different enough, but I don't think Hazalin needs more than what VRGR gave it.
