Contents
Ravenloft: Realm of Terror is a supplement of rules for Gothic horror, describing a setting of 30 realms of a demiplane ruled by creatures such as vampires and werewolves.[1] The set covers rules for fear and generation of Gothic monster characters.[1] The supplement was written by Bruce Nesmith and Andria Hayday, with a cover by Clyde Caldwell, and was published by TSR in 1990 as a boxed set with a 144-page book, four large color maps, 24 cardstock sheets, and a transparent map overlay.[1] The boxed set includes color maps of the Ravenloft demiplane, as well as fold-up castles and other buildings.[1]
Reception
In 1991 it won the Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation of a Roleplaying Game, Adventure, or Supplement of 1990.[2]
Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, calls the set's fold-up castles "scary".[1]
