Dungeons and Dragons Ravenloft – Caravan of Curses #1 (2024)

[Mephisto of the FoS]

This seems to have passed under our radar... Not anymore though.

Story
Welcome to Ravenloft and the Domains of Dread, where horrors lurk around every corner and each day is a new nightmare waiting to unfurl. Join the Crone and her gang of misfits as they travel through these dark realms helping people break curses that have been placed on them... for a price. An oversized one-shot containing four terrifically terrifying short stories from writers Casey Gilly and Amy Chase and an adventuring party of amazing artists.

Red Widow's Waltz
Tenebrarum Woods, Dementlieu - The cursed Yvelda tells the Crone her story of a fancy ball where everyone wore masks, an elaborate wedding, and the unending blood and horror that followed.

Kartakass: Live Week Or Die
Wildersung Wood, Kartakass - Young pretty actor Astor ends up on the wrong side of some werewolves and begins to age rapidly and deteriorate. His boyfriend Crane is not able to save him.

Maeve's Garden Tempest
Pregnant Hesta Sinclove tells the Crone of her time in Mother Lorinda's Land with the Fey. Where infertile women dance around the maypole and can become pregnant, for a price.

The Carnival Called Home
The Crone takes Hesta to the Carnival, where she can earn her keep and hide from the Darklord who wants her. Isolde, Theonyn and Silessa take her in.

One of the authors, Casey Gilly, was involved with another of IDW's Ravenloft comics as well.

Orphan of Agony Isle

She wrote the main story, as well as two of the four interludes.

After a quick scan, it looks like the other writers and artists are new to the title though.

Ordered a copy.

I have the Orphan of Agony Isle and it wasn't atrocious ... willing to give this one a look.

It's been sitting on my desk awaiting a read since it came out Maybe soon.

I bought both cover versions, naturally it is based on 5e Ravenloft. It's not really good though IMHO.
