Hi, I just received my Ravenloft DM screen (still waiting on the book and taroka deck) looks ok, but I'm disappointed with the lack of Ravenloft branding (I'm going to have to buy or make stickers for that).
I looks like the designers are almost ashamed, it's a Ravenloft product! My 3ed game Master screen clearly shows the branding!
Anyone else noticed?
Still curious about the main book, even if it pains me they killed the core...
What do you mean by branding? As in the books title/logo? Everyone I've ever spoken to on the topic doesn't want that on their DM screens and instead just want good art (which IMO the screen has). I remember the ToH screen getting some criticism amongst my local community, and the OG CoS screen was reviled. The Revamped screen fixes those issues and is just gorgeous gothic themed art.
Hahaha 🙂 , well now you are talking to someone who liked the branding. The classical Ravenloft logo was awesome.
Personally, im going to add it to my screen or maybe keep using my 3ed screen. While the art is good on the 5.5 screen it doesn't scream Gothic horror.
That's because Ravenloft embraces more than just gothic horror and I believe the artwork is inspired by classic criterion collection horror movie posters
