Ravenloft Module

May 09, 2021 AdventureI6 Ravenloft (1983)Tracy & Laura Hickman (TSR)Lvl 5 – 7 “One day I shall have a hall that is dedicated to trad gaming. Through gates of gold and ivory, marked with the motto ‘Roleplayibus non Rollplayiberent’ the players will enter, leaving all their mortal burdens behind. Ravenloft is a Gothic Horror campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons. It is a pocket dimension called the Demiplane of Dread, a collection of domains brought together by the mysterious 'Dark Powers'. Each domain is ruled by a 'Darklord'. Characters risk coming under the influence of the Dark Powers and transforming themselves into figures of evil.

Here are links to fonts that were used in Dungeons & Dragons during the TSR era, starting with the original little brown books, up to and including some WotC 3rd edition fontography. The original list was done by Aardy R. DeVarque, but much has changed in the digital font landscape since that list was compiled. An attempt is made to find an open and free font, if possible.

Ravenloft module i6
Curse of Strahd 5E adventure
For the Adventure Pack with the same name, see Mists of Ravenloft.


Ravenloft is a fantasy campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game originally developed by Laura and Tracy Hickman.

Ravenloft is also the setting of DDO's third expansion, Mists of Ravenloft, released December 6, 2017. The quests take place in Barovia, a new and entirely separate zone (similar to Eveningstar in that sense).

PnP background[edit]

Initially released as independent module in 1983, I6 Ravenloft (TSR 9075) for AD&D 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).

Module

The second module, I10 House of Gryphon Hill (TSR 9181), 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 Ravenloft: Realm of Terror boxed set (TSR 1053) for 2nd Edition AD&D released in 1990.

Module

Recently in 2016, WotC started adapting and resurrecting some of original Ravenloft materials for D&D 5th edition.
