Ravensburger has officially announced an expansion for Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons. The aptly named Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft will bring players into the misty Domains of Dread where they must work together to survive its denizens.
The Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft Announcement
In an official press release, Ravensburger revealed new details about Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft. Surprisingly, the speculation about the expansion visiting the Ravenloft setting, based off an Instagram post showing the Carrionette enemy back in January, was completely correct.
Like the original Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons, this standalone expansion has one to five players take on the roles of different adventurers. The group then confronts one of four monsters, working together to defeat them. The Dungeons & Dragons twist comes with the use of d20 rolls in addition to the more familiar Horrified board game rules.
“At Ravensburger, we aim to design and create immersive experiences that transport fans into familiar stories,” said Baldenhofer. “Finding a way to include the d20, which is iconic to D&D gameplay, into our established Horrified gaming system was one of the many ways we brought the worlds of both games together in an authentic and enjoyable way for fans of both series.”
The four monsters terrorizing the players here are the creepy Carrionette puppet, the sentient Gulthias Tree, the devilish witch Baba Lysaga with her walking hut, and Dungeons & Dragons’ most iconic Dark Lord, Strahd Von Zarovich. Curiously, three out of the four monsters in this set all come from the Curse of Strahd campaign, which features the titular vampire wizard.
The announcement of Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft coincides with Wizards of the Coast’s new seasonal approach to supporting the world’s most popular fantasy TTRPG. The first season being the Season of Horror, as illustrated by the announcement of the newest 5.5e supplement, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, containing new rules and mechanics on the Ravenloft setting.
Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft is available for pre-order right now exclusively at Target. It is being sold at an MSRP of $29.99.
