Strahd Loves, Man Kills Issue 9

 

Issue Nine of Strahd Loves, Man Kills, my Ravenloft fanzine has been released! This issue will be the last one of 2022; if you order soon, it will probably get into your hands before Halloween. 

As always, each print issue comes with a free pdf thrown in for good measure and every copy sold of the original print run pushes the issue toward being a free pdf for the community at large. If you look over at the sidebar on the right, five issues are already available due to the support of the people who take this folded paper off my hands.

Other back issues are also available.

Here's what is in  issue nine:

Lurid Locations expands the domain of Keening as described in Van Richten’s Guide and delves into the horrid mysteries of Crouch & Treacle’s Pie Shop.

Baleful Backgrounds adds revolutionary to the roster of backgrounds available for characters.

Seeds of Evil describes the basis of a scenario or campaign focused on young adults who have been raised inside a dungeon-like mansion. Now free from the confines of their nursery, they begin to explore the terrifying house in which they are entrapped.

Grim Phantasmagoria offers some chilling thoughts on the allure of quiet folk horror and the nature of dungeon exploration.

Wicked Wanderings proffers a number of variant methods for using 5e D&D’s inspiration mechanics.

Fatal Frames deploys three additional frameworks to explain why the characters in your campaign are working together as a cohesive group with compatible goals.

Tragic Heroes contemplates ways to make characters with intimate connections to the Darklords of the Land of the Mists.

Echoes of Doom recommends a number of metal albums to serve as inspiration for your own Ravenloft musings.
