MOP Reader Mick shared an interview in which Dungeons and Dragons Online’s developers talked about how this summer’s The Chill of Ravenloft is expanding upon the gothic horror setting.
“The thing about Ravenloft, which is the horror setting for DDO, is that it’s not just one place, it’s many different places,” the devs said. “There’s a different place in Ravenloft for every type of horror. The last time we [visited] the famous Ravenloft setting, it was basically Transylvania and Dracula. This time around, we’re doing Lamordia, which you might be able to guess is Frankenstein and Germany during the 19th century.”
