Ruvatello

Added 2025-02-28 17:00:19 +0000 UTC

Ruvatello is a luxury resort hidden within a powerful illusion up in otherwise uninhabited foothills. It's kept secret from everyday society, it's impossibly expensive, and the weather is somehow always perfect. Obviously there's something fishy going on here, but who cares? Just enjoy the warm sun, bright moonlight, and refreshing waters. Grab a cocktail and bask in unmatched luxury.

This week's collaboration is with Borough Bound!

Ruvatello is the newest setting by Borough Bound, creators of fully realized RPG cities and settlements. Borough Bound has created a huge map encompassing the entire resort, a thorough system-agnostic setting guide that provides flavor, lore, and mechanics for Ruvatello in your campaigns, and 9 music tracks to help you score the setting. The content they've shared today is only one half of the setting. The rest of the map, music, and setting guide—as well as bonus content, VTT modules, and NPC tokens—are either available now at their Patreon or will be released soon!

You can learn more about Borough Bound at their website, or head to their Patreon and start grabbing all those RPG goodies right now!

A Chance for More Curse of Strahd Content!

For years, my Curse of Strahd scene pack has been haunting the Patreon Shop, but now I’m planning something far more ambitious—a new phase for Ravenloft—and I need your help to bring it to life!

I’m launching a Kickstarter to create an expanded and upgraded version of the pack, filled with new content, more immersion, and full VTT integration—but it will only happen if the project gets fully backed.

Next Week Preview:

Next week, the air grows sharp and still, carrying the weight of an unforgiving season. Time slows in a place where stone and ice have stood unyielding for generations. Footsteps crunch over frozen ground, and the distant call of something unseen echoes through the vast, empty expanse. The journey ahead is stark and relentless, shaped by the silent strength of winter itself.
