Old school D&D and the Yin-Yang method of ability. This is an underused idea in D&D that make monsters infinitely more interesting.Chapter 3 presents a collection of 15 new unique spells for Innistrad spellcasters. Chapter 2 presents 10 race options and lore for creating characters in Innistrad. Chapter 1 provides information on the locations of Innistrad. This seems like a perfect fit for Curse of Strahd, which takes characters to level 10 - after they are finished with the campaign, add Emrakul to the mix for some high-level threat to Ravenloft's very existence. This book is a detailed guide to playing Dungeons & Dragons in Magic: the Gatherings plane of Innistrad. until Emrakul (basically Cthulhu and the like) invades the world and starts driving everyone, including the angels, crazy. Scattered throughout the plane are curtains of vaporous color, and passing through a curtain leads a traveler to a region of the Border Ethereal connected to a specific Inner. Visitors to the Deep Ethereal are engulfed by roiling mist. Innistrad has at least one interesting twist on Gothic horror, and although it might sound that adding Lovecraft to Ravenloft (or to anything, these days) is not the most innovative thing in the world, I really like how Innistrad implements it basically, you got your Ravenloft / Hammer horror world with vampires, werewolves and all, where the church and peasants with pitchforks fight the evil powers. To reach the Deep Ethereal, one needs a plane shift spell or arrive by means of a gate spell or magical portal. ![]() It doesn't describe many interesting factions or NPCs, Good and Evil are clearly present but the shades of gray come from the fact Evil has affect pretty much everyone. Mostly Ravenloft, some MtG lore, some Diablo, some Lovecraft, all Gothic fantasy. You can specify a target destination in general terms, such as the City of Brass on the Elemental Plane of. There is little to be said about the setting basically, it has werewolves, vampires, angels, demons, etc. Components: V, S, M (a forked, metal rod worth at least 250 gp, attuned to a particular plane of existence) You and up to eight willing creatures who link hands in a circle are transported to a different plane of existence. Then, Karn made the fatal mistake of returning to Mirrodin after he mingled with and helped exterminate the Phyrexians, a faction of unholy evil. All it landscape, objects, and even people are artificial. Mirrodin was a world of artifice, created by the silver golem Karn. The alternative - using this short PDFs as summaries of the MtG settings - seems to be a bad idea, specially for Innistrad, since most of it is homage to classic horror, with some cool variations but little that is really unique. Before it became known as New Phyrexia, it was a plane called Mirrodin. Since most of the setting details can be found online, as the PDF itself points out, all this re-skinning seems to be a good use for Plane Shift books. ![]()
