The new Ravenloft expansion will of course have a wilderness area - which I am going to have a lot of fun exploring.If you've already gone through the farming annoyance to complete all the hunts in Chult and Omu, then breathe easy. Both games could have been so much better with respawning monsters in the wilderness areas. My one beef with those two games is that monsters never respawn. Stone Prophet was my favourite of the two, but the beauty of the two games was that they were both awesome, and you could play characters through to the end of Ravenloft - and then use the same characters in Stone Prophet. Instead we have to wait for December 5th.ĭecades ago there was a computer game released by SSI called Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession.

My only disappointment is that they didn't release it before Halloween.

(DDO is currently free to play, but a lot of the more fun and interesting quests you need to buy access to.)īut whatever. The first big expansion of the game since Eveningstar.Īs is usual, each expansion costs more than the original game. They came out with a series of quests in Eveningstar - and the classic quest Haunted Halls of Eveningstar (aka HHoE).Īfter that success they came out with Temple of Elemental Evil (ToEE).Īnd now, finally. I made numerous suggestions years ago that various classic D&D modules should be added to the game, and it appears the producers of the game are finally listening. Now to be clear, I have been waiting for Ravenloft to be added to DDO for years. Thus what little gaming time I do have, I need to be using it in different ways. Part of this is fueled by the fact that I no longer have much time for pen and paper games (traditional D&D with dice, paper, etc) now that I have a baby boy and not much gaming time. I will take long hiatuses from the game and not play it during an extended period of time.ĭuring the past 15 months roughly I have been spending a lot of my "gaming time" playing Pokemon Go, but with winter coming and me disliking the idea of spending another winter outside playing Pokemon, this year I have decided to not play Pokemon and instead focus on playing various games indoors. This is something I do with DDO, which is hugely addictive, and I find it helps keep things balanced in my life. (There is a tiny chance I will be disappointed and downcast as a result.)īut with Mists of Ravenloft I am looking forward to playing DDO again - I took a break from playing it from May to October, so I am happy to start playing again. So I have no doubt that Stranger Things Season 2 will be amazing, mindblowing, and I shall watch it again and again. Mists of Ravenloft being released on Dungeons and Dragons Online on December 5th. Season Two of Stranger Things on Netflix (which I will be binge watching tomorrow). Okay so there are two big things I am looking forward to right now.
