Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
*I have always wanted to play ravenloft campiansetting however never can find players or decent dms, EVER! but never the less this book is gold, in metaphor it satirically mirrors grim reality of culture, my childhood home felt like was stuck in the middle of a real life domain of dead, 'it's as if the land rewards evil as it sort of curses backwards to there goals at the same time' Trust me this book in metaphor mirrors a lot of things that speak to me personaly >this book without a doubt is one of THE books in my life, that and homemade lighting by ra ford, what can you say i am a total geek but sort of a goth geek,
Ravenloft DMs - your sanity is saved!

If you are a Ravenloft DM, this book will make your life MUCHeasier. Everything you'll need for quick reference in your game ishere and INDEXED (Yes, they finally made it easy to find what youneed!) I love this book and it's made my life much easier. Watch for the "Fear, Horror, Maddness check" sections - they've made them a bit separated for each class so that can muck you up a bit the first go-round, but it's TONS better than those 50 odd books from separate box sets. If you were considering buying all of those "accessories" forget it - this book covers nearly everything you could even need. Players do not really need any books for Ravenloft, and if your DM has this one you can borrow it for the rare times you may need it.
Dreadfully Groovy

I have always been interested in the Ravenloft campaign settings, but never much felt like buying each individual module just to have a good view of the Core. I picked up this book a couple of days ago and have not put it down since. This is a must buy for any D & D people who want to run a Ravenloft game, or even just for DM's who need ideas to add a touch of horror to their own games.
The Greatest Tool For a Gothic Horror Campaign
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Though this book does restate a lot of what has already been set down in many boxed sets and modules, it is an invaluable guide, at the very least for condensation's sake. I'm a compendium person, myself, so I appreciate the value of an "all-in-one" source for the Demiplane of Dread. With an even half-experienced, half-talented DM, this, and some office supplies is all you need to run a long-lasting, fully enjoyable campaign. I strongly recommend purchasing one, along with some mechanical pencils, and a case of Jolt Cola. (Having had recent experience, this is the second best solution to a long evening of thunderstorms, power outages, and insomnia.)
Worth Every Cent

Domains of Dread accomplishes the task it was created for in an admirable fashion; to provide Ravenloft players with a comprehensive means in which to explore these dark realms as natives of the Mists; granting them the ability to fully realize the sheer brilliance of the Ravenloft line
