A Guide To Transylvania: Ravenloft Masque of the Red Death Accessory:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 2nd Edition

by Nicky Rea

A Guide to Transylvania is an indispensable accessory for any Masque of the Red Death campaign - or for a campaign for any game system set in the 1890s.

This 96-page book contains everything needed to explore the exotic, fear-filled country that is home to Dracula.

Highlights of this volume:

A survey of Transylvania's history and geography;

an overview of the beliefs, practices, crafts, and language of the people of Transylvania, from the Romanians to the mysterious Gypsies, including a section on folklore and superstitions;

The history of Vlad Draculs, the historical personality whose name has become synonymous with "vampire";

and maps showing Transylvania and the surrounding regions.

Additionally, A Guide to Transylvania presents sixteen personalities to enrich any Transylvania-based or -themed campaign, along with five new qabals, shadowy secret societies who either struggle with the heroes against the unnatural, or strive to strengthen it.
