Ravenloft: Mist Hunters kicks off at the July D&D Virtual Play Weekend with the premiere of the first three adventures in its linear story arc. The first, a multi-table interactive event, asks characters to infiltrate a masquerade ball in search of a wayward academic; the adventures that follow will see the party wandering through the Domains of Dread, heading to Kartakass and Falkovnia and beyond! All adventures will premiere at Virtual Play Weekends before being released on a monthly basis to the DMs Guild.
If you'd like to peek through the mists, Dragon+ Magazine spoke with AL Content Manager Travis Woodall about Mist Hunters in Issue 38.
