comment |
Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession was a video game released in 1994 for the PC, developed by DreamForge Intertainment for Strategic Simulations Inc. Set in the Ravenloft world of Dungeons & Dragons.Players created two characters who were retainers of Lord Dhelt of Elturel. An assassin attempts to kill Lord Dhelt, and the players give pursuit. They manage to kill the assassin, but as they are retrieving Dhelt's holy symbol, mists envelope the party and bring them to Barovia, a land surrounded in poison mist. The party must attempt to find their way back home before the cursed land overtakes them.Strahd's possession had a sequel released in the following year, called Ravenloft: Stone Prophet, set in the desert world of Har'Akir, where the party gets trapped there after a strange aurora fills the skies of Elturel. The same protagonists from the first could be imported into the second adventure, but aside from a few Continuity Nod, the adventures are not linked. |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: You need a mere fifteen gold pieces to buy a potion to go through the Mists of Ravenloft. There is almost no money in the game. You only find fifteen, and only fifteen, gold in one of the final dungeons. |

Ghost Town: Barovia is full of people, but they hide in their homes and don't talk to strangers. A lot of the Flavor Text from the protagonists mentions how they've seen scarred battlefields with more life in them. |

Plot Coupon: Aside from the Holy Symbol of Helm, there are five other items needed to beat the game: Trimia's Catalogue of the Planes and the four other items to activate it: A priceless fire ruby, an ancient elven crown, a tarot card, and the feather of a wereraven. Most are encountered as the game goes along, only the crown requires a jaunt on a sidequest. |

Broken Bridge: Many doors are locked with keys. While a thief (or a mage with the right spell) can open some doors, most need the keys to open. Vladislav will also block the path into the Caverns beneath the Ivlis, and he is required for that dungeon. |

Evil Is Petty: Strahd's reason for keeping Lord Dhelt's holy symbol is not petty at firstnote It was falsely believed to be the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, but he later learns the truth and still keeps it, deciding to destroy the party because their willful behavior could make the peasants not afraid of the world. |
