Step into the mists of Ravenloft! In this video, I flick through and talk about Realm of Terror, the legendary 1990 boxed set from TSR that brought gothic horror to Dungeons & Dragons. From vampire lords to cursed domains, this book shaped how horror and fantasy merged at the table. Whether you’re a fan of classic D&D or love exploring dark RPG worlds, this look back at Ravenloft’s origins will take you deep into one of the most iconic roleplaying settings ever created.

A New Realm of Horror Adventures
In the dead of night, as mists cloak the land, a traveler walks a country road. Footsteps echo behind him, in pace with his beating heart. Is it Death who follows? The man turns, and so turns the phantom. A flash of fang, a bloodcurdling howl, red eyes fueled by a passion from beyond the grave. The traveler discovers what others have learned before him: all roads lead to Ravenloft.

Ravenloft is a new realm of terror for AD&D adventures,rooted in the Gothic tradition. It is a demiplane of dread and desire, a world whose misty fingers can reach into any other campaign setting and draw unsuspecting heroes into its midst. Once it holds them in its icy embrace, it may never let them go...
What lurks beneath the covers of this box?

A 144-page book detailing a complete, terrifying new campaign world, which was inspired by the classic TSR adventure "Ravenloft." You'll find new twists on magic and the AD&D rules, tips for adding fear to your games, plus a portrait of over 30 new lands and the powerful lords who rule them - from vampires, ghosts, and werewolves to men who are even more monstrous.
4 big, full-color maps, detailing deadly domains and shadowy settlements.
24 full-color sheets, featuring haunted castles, horrid houses, and fiendish folk.
