Sometimes I feel like I bought a different book from everyone else, because people always talk smack about Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and saying it's not actually a scary/horror book, but my experience with it has been the complete opposite. Though I do think that there are some places in D&D that are just plain scarier than Ravenloft. The Far Realm is probably the most prominent of those places, because it's on an entirely different than Ravenloft. It's got the Lovecraftian cosmic horror bit, like Bluetspur from Ravenloft does, but it dives completely into it, because the Far Realm is the home of the Eldritch Abominations. Some of the most notorious, iconic, and horrific monsters in D&D come from the Far Realm, like Beholders, Aboleths, and Illithids.</blockquote>
