Should Curse of Strahd DMs Consider Getting Ravenloft: The Horrors Within (the New Ravenloft Book)?

I'm sure a lot of Curse of Strahd DMs are wondering if it's worth buying the new Ravenloft book - Ravenloft: The Horrors Within - just in case it helps with running a CoS campaign. In this video I talk about what can be dug out from The Horrors Within that could be useful if you're DMing CoS - not only the obvious stuff (e.g. the section about Strahd and Barovia, plus the relevant updated stat blocks), but other parts of the book as well. And at the end, I'll give my verdict: is it worth buying THW if you're running CoS? #CurseofStrahd #Ravenloft 00:00 Intro 00:27 What is Ravenloft: The Horrors Within? 01:01 5.5e stat blocks (Strahd & others) 02:39 New Barovia map design 02:54 New art 03:35 "Strahd's Domain" effects 04:13 Von Zarovich sanctuaries 05:05 Other Tatyana reincarnations 05:32 New adventure/quest ideas (& area maps) 09:03 Horror roleplay & haunted bastions 09:39 5.5e character options (incl. species) 10:42 New tarokka mechanics & draw ideas 11:34 Inspiration for a post-CoS campaign 13:16 Verdict: is it worth getting for CoS? 13:53 Outro Follow me on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/dmofthemists...
