Character Backgrounds usually list a starting gp, “Haunted One” does not. Roll for starting gp? @JeremyECrawford @Wizards_DnD @DnD_AdvLeague

The haunted one doesn’t have any spare change. #DnD https://t.co/kKAMLJPGdU

@JeremyECrawford Does that mean I have to adventure to earn the 33gp so I “can buy” a MH’s Pack? Thanks for answer!!!

— Heath Belden (@HeathBelden) March 3, 2016

The haunted one starts with the monster hunter’s pack. Other people have to buy it. #DnD https://t.co/MembOQqkW9

@JeremyECrawford How come the Haunted One only gets one skill proficiency?

— Jonathan Longstaff (@pukunui81) March 3, 2016

The haunted one gets 2 skill proficiencies. The corrected background will be posted on the Wizards website. #DnD https://t.co/asQo6FS4WK

@o76923But still only one tool/language? Yep.

Hi. I’m Chris Perkins, principal story designer for Dungeons & Dragons.
I’m happy to take questions about D&D stories (including our latest story, Curse of Strahd) and life in the gaming industry. I find D&D rules questions boring, so I’ll probably ignore those. (“Your game, your rules!” is my motto.)
Also, I can’t provide any information that my company, Wizards of the Coast, deems confidential.

P.S. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Here you can join the discussion:

Adventurer!

Master Chris Perkins and Tracy Hickman want to tell something about the next Ravenloft latest adventure, Curse of Strahd.

Creatures of the night!

A new terrifying adventure is coming from the mist: the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovic is waiting for you.
Castle Ravenloft is waiting bold adventurers with cold blood ready to feed darkness bites.

The mists part to reveal our next #DnD book: Curse of Strahd, a dark journey in #Ravenloft. https://t.co/uGXJq3qmAW pic.twitter.com/7KAblFdVxR

Here the book description:

Unravel the mysteries of Ravenloft® in this dread adventure for
the world’s greatest roleplaying game
 
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came — all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.

Heroes from the Forgotten Realms and other D&D worlds can easily be drawn into Strahd’s cursed land. Once there, they must contend with the horrors of Barovia. Its people are melancholy, misshapen and grotesque, living in fear of the wolves and other creatures that serve Strahd’s evil will.

Written by Chris Perkins, Tracy Hickman, and Laura Hickman, edited by Kim Mohan and Jeremy Crawford, and art directed by Kate Irwin.

• A fantasy-horror adventure for characters levels 1 – 10, Curse of Strahd^™ provides everything a Dungeon Master needs to create an exciting and memorable play experience.
• Fans of the Dungeons & Dragons^® Roleplaying Game can have additional adventures in Ravenloft by participating in the D&D Adventurers League^™ organized play program.
• 256 pages
• Price: $49.95
• Release Date: 15 March, 2016

@JeremyECrawford hey! Was this the culmination of the project that Lucca’s sessions were a part of? 🎃

— Emanuele Galletto (@RoosterEma) January 18, 2016

The #DnD adventures I did for @LuccaCandG occur 200 years after Curse of Strahd. It includes bits related to them. https://t.co/MeSPdA8zCg

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

@JeremyECrawford @JimZub Any chance of Ravenloft getting a setting treatment? Or is this going to be a standalone that I’m still buying ;)?

— Peter (@Peter_Smyk) January 18, 2016

Curse of Strahd focuses on the lands of Barovia, a #DnD mini-setting filled with gothic towns, NPCs, and tales. https://t.co/SYwzlVmIVK

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

Hmm, I distinctly remember an interview in which someone mentioned a homebrew expanded Barovia world. Who was that? https://t.co/G8VY7RBckV

— Friar Tuk (@ahbleecker) January 18, 2016

My homebrew #DnD setting—going back to 1E—is the world that Barovia came from. Dashes of it are in Curse of Strahd. https://t.co/wvDLpADgQJ

— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Thanks!

— Morrus (@Morrus) January 18, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @SlyFlourish @Morrus Is Barovia still in the Demi-plane or is it back in the material plane in FR somehow?

— Colin Pekruhn (@cpekruhn) January 18, 2016

Barovia remains where it has always been. https://t.co/oa1IJ1q3nY
