Dark Carnival Poll - DMG or Not DMG?
Added 2021-05-25 02:49:32 +0000 UTCHey all,
As it looks like Dark Carnival will win the next poll (by like... a lot), I'm trying to think of the best way to do it. Because Ravenloft is not covered by the SRD, the guide which I must follow in order to create Fifth Edition content "legally", I'd have to make a non-Ravenloft version of it and just drop subtle "hints" that it can be used as such. But it'd be included with your normal Patreon account's benefits.
Alternatively, I can make a Ravenloft supplement that works directly with the details from both the new and old versions of the Dark Carnival.
If I do the latter, there's one big catch: I can't share it here on Patreon. I'd have to sell it separately on DMsGuild, BUT it would be 100% accurate to Ravenloft (including references as far back as 2nd Edition AD&D).
So that's your two choices. "Vanilla" Carnival that you'll get on here or a hyper-accurate "Ravenloft" Carnival that will be exclusive to DMG as a separate purchase.

Vanilla is a better way for non experieced dm, always think of them. For those Who want to tweek for ravenloft the book of raveloft Will give you the guide line. :-)
