Ravenloft core map7/31/2023 This chapter includes quick notes on how Ravenloft functions differently from the standard D&D world - spells such as Know Alignment don't function. The Seas are in turn surrounded by the Mists, which borders the entirety of the Demiplane. It has one vast continent surrounded by two Seas. Ravenloft is a Demiplane, sitting between the Planes. This is an overview of the nature of the place, followed by a general geography. The book opens with a discussion of the Demiplane of Dread as a whole. Domains of Dread was chosen for this review, as it is a core Ravenloft book which spends much of the text detailing the Demiplane, rather than, as the 3.x books do, provide rules changes from D&D to fit Ravenloft. Wizards of the Coast also has updated I6 in a 3.5 style of mind as Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. In the D&D3e world, White Wolf's Arthaus department released the Ravenloft core books for both 3e and 3.5. Eventually, a box set was produced, then another, and Domains of Dread was the third "core" product for Ravenloft. The module was so successful that later I10: Ravenloft 2 was released, which was set in a Frankenstein-like setting. This module followed the characters on their investigation of the Count Strahd Von Zarovich, a completely obvious analogue to Dracula. Ravenloft was originally simply a module, I6. This review, however, will look at this book in terms of being a resource for other game systems, and break down chapter by chapter what kind of information is contained therein. Domains of Dread is the Ravenloft core book published in 1997, for AD&D2e.
