Dungeons & Dragons 5E - Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft - EN

Unleash the horrors of Ravenloft in this campaign book for the world's greatest RPG.

Terror is rampant in the nightmare realms of Ravenloft. Nobody knows this better than monster connoisseur Rudolph Van Richten. Monster connoisseur Rudolph van Richten has compiled this work of horror stories and terrible truths from his correspondence and his case files in order to be able to send a new generation of adventurers into the field against the creatures of the night.

Uncover the mysteries of Ravenloft: land in eternal mists with infamous Dark Lords, ageless vampires, zombie hordes, cosmic horrors and worse. Then make your choice: will you create your own domains of terror where horrific adventures take place? Or will you be among the haunted heroes using macabre lineages, double-edged Dark Talents, haunted underclasses, and other forbidden powers?
