Ravenloft-Friendly Monsters From Other 5E Sourcebooks! My Faves From 7 5E Adventure & Setting Books

Описание: We have the Monster Manual, Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, and a fair few 5E monster books. But I often forget that there's unique and interesting monsters buried away in various other non-Ravenloft books and non-monster books - whether they be sourcebooks or adventure books.

In this video, I dive into (clears throat)...

Candlekeep Mysteries,
Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen,
Fizban's Treasury of Dragons,
Journeys through the Radiant Citadel,
Quests from the Infinite Staircase,
Vecna: Eve of Ruin, and
Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

...And choose my favorite, most Ravenloft-friendly monsters from each of them (or in one case, I chose four monsters - as I couldn't narrow it down to just one). 😂😭 There's also a number of honorable mentions from most of them - meaning that the total list contains over 20 Ravenloft-appropriate monsters.

What did I miss? Do you agree with my choices? Are there other good 5E books - outside of this list - that contain good monsters that'd work well in a Ravenloft campaign or one-shot? Leave a comment and let me (and others) know. Cheers! #Ravenloft

Also, I mentioned Darkon and unicorns... After making this video, I remembered that PhD&D talks about unicorns in his Darkon video, so that's probably where I picked it up from:    • Let's make DARKON in 5e!
