May. 16th, 2007 10:12 amWay back in the misty reaches of time, there was a module called, simply, "Ravenloft". This module was the first "Gothic Horror" module, strongly based around the old Universal Pictures horror films and featuring the tragically evil Count Strahd von Zarovich, vampire due to an ill-considered bargain with evil made in a fit of jealousy.
The module proved to be very popular, so much so that there was a direct sequel (Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill), and, some time after that, an entire Realm of Horror called Ravenloft in which Strahd and his machinations were but one of many evils.
Then came Third Edition D&D, which differs quite significantly from the prior editions, and so there was a need to modernize the adventures. Expedition to Castle Ravenloft is that updating, and it's So Bloody Cool that I bought it, and I decided to do something I hadn't done for, oh, 20 years: run a straight-out-of-the-box dungeon crawl.
( cut to prevent boredom for the non-RPG interested )
Everyone's looking forward to next week!
