Bring your players to Ravenloft and see what it takes to truly scare them. But to do so, you may want some of these books and accessories.

Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

This book will help you create the ultimate nightmare world for your players. With horror-themed subclasses, new species and backgrounds, ‘Domains of Dread,’ and much more, you’ll be summoning dark lords and having your players running from all sorts of horrible things by your next game session. Ravenloft is the game setting for all things spooky, creepy, weird, or downright terrifying.

Bring fear to the table with Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, the ultimate horror expansion. As Dungeon Master, you are the mastermind pulling the strings, wielding multiple genres of horror, shadowy Domains of Dread, malevolent Darklords, and grotesque monstrosities as instruments of fear in your campaign of terror. Inside this haunted vault, your players will uncover necrotic new subclasses, haunting backgrounds, and supernatural curses. Whatever happens, only one thing is certain: this is a nightmare your party can’t wake from . . . and you’re in control.

Ravenloft: Horrors Within Map Pack

If you’re bringing your players to a new location, you’ll probably want to accurately show them around. This set comes with ten battle maps specifically designed for horror combat. And alongside those maps you’ll find more than thirty tokens for all of the monsters, traps, and terrain your unsuspecting adventurers may stumble upon.

This pack features 5 double-sided, horror-themed battle maps (22″ x 30″), from haunted manors to cursed tombs, and 30+ creature and terrain tokens designed to support different genres of horror. Whether you’re staging a Darklord’s final stand or unleashing creatures from beyond, these richly illustrated maps and tokens are ready to use in any horror campaign.

Ravenloft DM Screen

While your players are vacationing in Ravenloft, you may want to reference the setting-specific DM screen. On one side is a panorama of creepy, horrible, and beautiful sights you can expect to see in Ravenloft. On the DM-facing side are all of the tables and critical rules you’ll want to reference quickly to keep your horror game moving and feeling tense.

Conceal your sinister plots behind the Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Dungeon Master’s Screen while keeping critical rules close at hand. Complete with gothic artwork and horror-centric reference tables, this illustrated, double-sided DM screen immerses your players in the ever-changing Mists of Ravenloft. Whether you’re conjuring creeping dread or orchestrating a tragic fall, this screen empowers you to shape nightmares.

Curse of Strahd Minis

Not every table uses grids and minis in their adventures. But if yours does, the Strahd adventures have quite a few of their important minis already made and ready to terrorize your players. Each set includes seven full-color minis.

Within the valley of Barovia there are many stories to be told. Local legends say that the Count Strahd Von Zarovich has ruled over this valley for generations and that his land plays host to many powerful beings. Some serve him willingly, and others plot his downfall. Within this Dungeons and Dragons Icons of the Realms miniatures box, you will find some of the valleys most terrifying foes and monsters, as well as some of its legendary heroes. Excite and guide your players with this collection of 7 highly detailed Curse of Strahd character DnD miniatures and start building your own legendary story today.

Tarokka Deck

Some parts of the Ravenloft adventures include drawing and interpreting Tarokka cards. Similar to our world’s tarot cards, your characters can try to use these to divine some insight. Or, you can use and hand them out at the table for hints, tips, physical and immersive props, or just to add a little more atmosphere to your game. Plus, the art on these cards is very pretty and unique, making them a cool piece to add to your collection.

Will your players be blessed with good fortune or besieged with darkness and dread? Divine what the future holds with this mystical, fully illustrated Tarokka deck, capable of foreshadowing Darklord encounters or even creating entirely new Domains of Dread.

Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd

This novel by Delilah S. Dawson brings five strangers to Barovia and has them invited, personally, to Castle Ravenloft by none other than Strahd von Zarovich. What will they find there? And will they survive long enough to truly understand what it all is?

Five strangers armed with steel and magic awaken in a mist-shrouded land, with no memory of how they arrived: Rotrog, a prideful orcish wizard; Chivarion, a sardonic drow barbarian; Alishai, an embittered tiefling paladin; Kah, a skittish kenku cleric; and Fielle, a sunny human artificer. After they barely survive a nightmarish welcome to the realm of Barovia, a carriage arrives bearing an invitation:

Fairest Friends,

I pray you accept my humble Hospitality and dine with me tonight at Castle Ravenloft. It is rare we receive Visitors, and I do so Endeavor to Make your Acquaintance. The Carriage shall bear you to the Castle safely, and I await your Arrival with Pleasure.

Your host,
Strahd von Zarovich

With no alternative, and determined to find their way home, the strangers accept the summons and travel to the forbidding manor of the mysterious count. But all is not well at Castle Ravenloft. To survive the twisted enigmas of Strahd and his haunted home, the adventurers must confront the dark secrets in their own hearts and find a way to shift from strangers to comrades—before the mists of Barovia claim them forever.
