Revisit a classic D&D adventure, now expanded and updated!

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft is a 224-page D&D adventure that harkens back to classic 1st-edition adventure, Ravenloft. This adventure expands on the original adventure, introduces some never-before-seen threats. It also features a new encounter format designed to make running the adventure easier for the Dungeon Master. This new layout includes such details as more graphics and readily available stat blocks, both of which can shorten prep time and gameplay.

Great Book

This is an incredible adventure. Normally I am a little hesitant to buy a pre-made adventure, but this one is worth every cent. The new format in this book is a very handy feature, providing everything you need to know about the encounter in two pages. Wonderful formatting and maps. This is such a customizable adventure that it fits anywhere. It is reccomended that you buy Three Dragon Ante (Dungeon & Dragons) as well, because there is one part that these could be used. If you don't want to buy this, ordinary playing cards work just as well.

From the story aspect, this has an interesting plot. The adventure can be played multiple times with PCs finding out more things every time.

I look forward to more Expedition books!

A HUGE time saver!

First off, I must give WTOC a big round of applause for this module format. I typically run home-grown stuff, but with a demanding career I haven't had the time to prepare much in the way of a good game. As a result, we haven't gamed as much as I would like.

With the addition of this adventure to my library I have been able to read this while on a plane, and be prepared to run it when I land. The encounter pages are laid out BEAUTIFULLY, I love the stat blocks, and the maps/visuals are to die for.

I HIGHLY recommend this module for anyone having difficulty finding the time to prepare!

Amazing layout...amazing adventure

If your a dm and haven't ever visited Castle Ravenloft then you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this book. It is an amazing epic quest that can fill up your campaign for months are even years depending on how often your group plays are how in depth they are at searching everything and looking everywhere. Don't just excuse this as a horror campaign because while it has horror elements (vampires, werewolves, witches..etc.) its still a fantasy campaign at its heart and has one of the most memorable villians in dnd history. The quest leaves no stone unturned and features some of the best artwork and design ideas that i have seen in a quest. I normally run my own quests but back in the day i used to spend quite amount of time in the domains of dread, but i really hated the updated ravenloft setting that came out a while back. This is not a campaign setting and is an official wizards release with full color artwork, maps, and can easily be turned into a setting with just castle ravenloft and the surrounding areas. I am very happy to back in Ravenloft (the true ravenloft) and i'm willing to bet your gaming group will share my excitement right up until they face strahd himself. Great product. I'm looking forward to the expedition to castle greyhawk and I'm hoping it is just as great as this one.

Not as much atmosphere as the original adventure but a nice 3.5 adaptation

This is a very good adventure. It does not rival the original in terms of atmosphere but is a really nice 3.5 adaptation, with lots of new material also.
It is a much better work than the first revision of the original Ravenloft (House of Strahd for the 2nd Edition).
My only complain with this book is that it does not contain a full map of the Castle as in the original and the earlier version. Since this book even mentions that one of the groundbreaking features in the original Ravenloft was the classic Castle Ravenloft map, I would expect that it would contain a full two-page map of the Castle. It does not, though. It only contains small maps of each level, so you never get to see the Castle in all its glory. For me, it does not present a great problem since I own both the original Ravenloft and House of Strahd, but I would expect that it detracts from the adventure for people who only have this book.
Other than that, it is really surprisingly good.
It won't get 5 stars, in my opinion, because of the map issue.
