Ravenloft



Ravenloft is a fantasy campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game originally developed by Laura and Tracy Hickman. Initially released as independent module in 1983, I6 Ravenloft quickly became a fan favorite. The module followed the story of Count Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire trapped in the lands of Barovia over which he ruled by plaguing the inhabitants with fear and terror. I6 Ravenloft was unique at the time as it used variable locations for key aspects of the story discovered by the use of Tarokka Cards (Tarot Cards).

The second module, I10 House of Gryphon Hill, released in 1986 used similar mechanics and continued the Gothic Horror style was well received by player base leading to the development of a complete campaign setting The Realm of Terror released in 1990.
