As I mentionned in the other thread about this book, I thought it was Daryl Hannah from Kill Bill (the one-eyed assassin) :)

White Wolf just released a downloadable preview excerpt from DT&DL.

Good news for those of us who haven't gotten ahold of the book yet.
I only wish I had retired sooner!

Incredible, they did something special to promote a Ravenloft book? I'm at loss of word here.

Seriously, in this you have the intro (and a cool drawing by Talon)

Maybe they are taking it seriously cause 7 out of 10 of Sword & Sorcery best sellers are RL books. I don't know if the list is believable but it's still nice to see RL on it.

That's a problem with Wizards of the Coast and Arthaus' lisencing agreement. Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends is the closest you'll get for a while, unless you want to count the in-character pieces in the other books.
The Remnants have one saying to represent loss, disappearance, exile, and death. It is Shiao Marests, "Taken by The Shadows".

Hey, they said they would never publish novels or adventures. BUT DT&DL is pretty damn close to being both. They're bending the rules nicely for the fans, show some love people!

The same thing happened with amazon.com. I will send them a correction, but I must admit I feel tempted to buy it by drivethrurpg.

I did already do that last week, when I inquired why they didn't yet have the book 10 days after it was released. Obviously didn't carry any credence with them, that they instead moved the projected date up an arbitrary 90 days from the date they originally had. :roll:

These are bad news.

Although I prefer a physical book, it seems the the solution will be purchase it from drivethru.
