Ravenloft: Realm of Terror is a supplement of rules for Gothic horror, describing a setting of 30 realms of a demiplane ruled by creatures such as vampires and werewolves. The set covers rules for fear and generation of Gothic monster characters. The supplement was written by Bruce Nesmith and Andria Hayday, with a cover by Clyde Caldwell, and was published by TSR in 1990 as a boxed set with a 144-page book, four large color maps, 24 cardstock sheets, and a transparent map overlay. The boxed set includes color maps of the Ravenloft demiplane, as well as fold-up castles and other buildings.
Reception
Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, calls the set's fold-up castles "scary".
