  • The Master of Ravenloft Is Having Guests for Dinner . . . and You Are Invited
    The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner . and you are invited. A dark shape emerges from the shadow of Castle Ravenloft. A fl ash of lightning reveals the sneering countenance of Count Strahd von Zarovich. His eyes burn with eternal hunger and contempt for life. From a narrow balcony, he peers out into the drizzling twilight at the few sad lights of the village below and mutters a single name: “Ireena . .” The Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign adventure updates the original 1st Edition Ravenloft® module, retaining the Gothic fl avor and familiar elements while expanding and reimagining some of the locations to create a deeper, richer adventure experience. This campaign adventure is designed for characters of levels 6–10 and features a new, easy-to-use combat encounter format. This book also presents new magic items, feats, and prestige classes for player characters.
