There is a TON of new stuff in the countryside (including whole villages), with everything except the werewolves being completely different than the 3.5 version (and those are still pretty different). In this book, I feel like they're more like 1/3rd. (As opposed to I6, where it was 100%.) In 3.5, those were about 2/3rds of the content. However, like the 3.5 book, the town and castle are only a piece of the content. If you're familiar with 3.5, it is interesting to see what parts are missing from the more embellished 3.5 version. If you're familiar with the original, CoS will be like deja vu. All the major set pieces are there, the maps are extremely close, and all the major (and minor) NPCs are there. It's much more similar than the 3.5 Castle Ravenloft book was to the original material, although all three are obviously very close. It's good stuff.įor those who have seen the original adventure from 1983, the town and the castle are pretty much 85-90% straight-up I6-Ravenloft, even down to the names of rooms in the castle. I've not gone through the book in fine detail yet, but some of the full-page art is the best I've seen in D&D since at least 3.5. I've only seen a couple of CoS impression threads so far so I though I'd share my thoughts as someone who is VERY familiar with the 3.5 version of the book.įirst, as others have already hailed, the art is amazing.
