Re: [Let's Read] DM's Guild Ravenloft Sourcebooks


As someone who bought Ezmerelda's Guide to Ravenloft (and unfortunately the "Griffon Hill" adventure), I'm really glad that the former turned out to be good! There's been quite a lot of hits and misses (mostly the latter recently) so I'm grateful that you were able to confidently vouch for a ...

Rotwald is a rustic domain, and as far as I can tell has no relation to the town of the same name from Ravenloft’s pre-5th Edition Valachan. Western Rotwald is home to open plains and villages of friendly yet magic-intolerant locals, with Lake Tranen in the center ...

This Chapter covers two-thirds of Ezmerelda’s Guide to Ravenloft. And it’s at this point I must highlight the lack of any bookmarks in this PDF product, which makes navigating more difficult than usual. Well, none save for two monster entries, which feels weird as ...
