Maybe we see a new later sourcebook focused into monsters but it would be better with more playable species. Would we see a new UA about PC species? Or maybe the strategy will be first only digital, and after with experience and feedback this to be fixed or updated and then published in some physical book.

* Now I am thinking in a domain where a demilord is inmortal and she can't die, but she is killed by the dark lord time after time. When this happen there is a reboot within a time-loop and only a little group of people can notice, like in the movie "Happy Death Day" or "Until Dawn". Really that cursed isn't killed but only when a number of hit points are lost the character is KO (teletransported to a safe zone and replaced with a decoy).

* Other idea is a demiplane style "Blasphemous" videogame where the "Prodigious Powers" gives weird and wicked gifts and blessings.

Does it include a map of innsmouth and does the name of the adventure mean anything? This is probably a must buy for me

The Cthulhu creature kithuan?? (Spelling) that has claws and suction ? How would you use this in an adventure?are they an adversary in a live craft novel?

Innsmouth is a domain, and the map hasn't been officially shown. However, you can partially see the map on some of the promotional images on the official site and on the Beadle & Grimms site

Man, I wish they'd quit disneyfying the art in D&D. Too many pinks and purples.

She's an evil fairy godmother. What do you want?

Well, it gives me the creeps and I think that was the intention. It should ideally be cheerful colors, but in reality it's a sickly tone.

They aren’t very interesting mechanically in VGR.

Found this on Reddit! The third image looks very much like a jiangshi to me!

I am reminded again why I hardly ever get to the end of EnWorld topics - we have some actual useful news and then 2 people start arguing on page 10 about something that only affected 2E AD&D Ravenloft, and by page 20 it is as far removed from the topic as it can be and provides no information about the upcoming book... Sigh. A mod should have moved all this discussion to a "2E Ravenloft Fear/Terror checks discussion" topic ages ago.


So back on the actual topic, the book - thanks for this image, I love the Relentless Killer being basically Pyramid Head if he decided he was more into churches than geometric shapes. Funnily we did have a mini like this, in Dreamblade!

Where did you find this art, btw? I wish we had a leak of the table of contents at least...

My immediate thought was:

It certainly looks more interesting! Have to say, I like VGR, but the art in this book makes the art in that book look rather insipid.
