This week, Fiona and returning guest host Emily, from RPGeeks, turn their attention to 'Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft' and read about The Carnival, a wandering domain of wonders whose mirror image (The Witchlight Carnival) has a important role in 'The Wild Beyond The Witchlight'.

From the bio of 'Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft':

'Unleash the horrors of Ravenloft in this campaign sourcebook for the world's greatest roleplaying game.

Terror stalks the nightmare realms of Ravenloft. No one knows this better than monster scholar Rudolph Van Richten. To arm a new generation against the creatures of the night, Van Richten has compiled his correspondence and case files into this tome of eerie tales and chilling truths.

Discover the mysteries of Ravenloft, mist-shrouded lands where infamous Darklords lurk among ageless vampires, zombie hordes, cosmic terrors, and worse. Then make your choice. Will you create your own Domains of Dread, settings to host endless terrifying adventures? Or will you join the ranks of haunted heroes who embrace macabre lineages, dual-edged Dark Gifts, haunted subclasses, and other forbidden powers?'

Chapter discussed: 'The Carnival' from Ch. 3: Domains of Ravenloft

This week, Fiona and Hamilton finally decide to start an actual book club and begin their own epic quest to read the entirety of The Legend of Drizzt series of fantasy novels by R.A Salvatore. Starting in chronological order, our host set off with 'Homeland', the first book in The Dark Elf Trilogy, a prequel to The Icewind Dale Trilogy.

Published in 1990, 'Homeland' follows the story of Drizzt from around the time and circumstances of his birth and his upbringing amongst the drow (dark elves).

From the blurb of 'Homeland':

"Travel back to strange and exotic Menzoberranzan, the vast city of the drow and homeland to Icewind Dale hero Drizzt Do'Urden. The young prince of a royal house, Drizzt grows to maturity in the vile world of his dark kin. Possessing honor beyond the scope of his unprincipled society, young Drizzt faces an inevitable dilemma. Can he live in a world that rejects integrity?"

Check out Hamilton's 'My First Party' Indiegogo campaign!

Book discussed: 'Homeland' by R.A Salvatore, published in 1990.
