Just a daily reminder that Eberron is an underutilized setting and that’s borderline criminal.

At the very least Eberron got an official setting book for 5th Edition. Unfortunately can’t say the same thing for Greyhawk or Dark Sun. Or Ravenloft for that matter, which imo is pretty weird considering how popular Curse of Strahd is.

Van Richtens guide to Ravenloft is not a setting book?

Or is this a "Its so bad I wont acknowledge its existence" joke?

I genuinely had no idea this book existed. Is it any good?

Its alright, I suppose. Adds a few races, adds some dark gifts that you can give your players, new subclasses that are pretty cool.

Setting wise its basically summaries of many domains of dread (including Barovia) that you can use to kind of create your own homebrew campaign in them, also instructions of how to make your own Horror campaigns.

I personally would have liked some Statblocks, especially of the several Dreadlords. And Barovias depiction in the book is, at least compared to curse of Strahd, a bit lackluster. But it is a fun read, and I currently use it to give my Curse of Strahd campaign more accurate lore, and also to possibly expand it in the future.
