A Botanical Guide to Barovia is a new supplement for Curse of Strahd or any other campaign. It contains:

25 Plants: 25 plants with poisons, environmental effects, and more

2 New Subclasses: Ranger Subclass - Tree Speaker, Druid Subclass - Circle of Rot

9 Magic Items and Mundane Items: Including the legendary Heart of Barovia, a new weapon to add to your Curse of Strahd campaign

6 New Monsters: Terrify your players with monsters like the Shadowfell Dryad and the Janus Tree (a great replacement for Wintersplinter in Curse of Strahd!)

Location/Short Adventure: This book also includes a new location for Curse of Strahd, the Grove of Grey Mists. This roughly 4-hour adventure uses the plants and monsters from this book, and includes advice on using it as a one shot or adapting it to fit your campaign.

STRETCH GOALS! New monsters, magic items, and more will be added to this book if the stretch goals are unlocked. We've added the content for the Copper, Silver, and Review stretch goals, and are getting close to Electrum!

This entire book is available as a full preview.  Please support the project so that we can keep making more!

Content Warning: This book contains descriptions of substance use, violence, and death.

Hi! I just purchased this, and read through it. It is delightful! One of my players is a circle of stars druid, who has collected quite a few plants throughout her journeys in Barovia. She had some bad rolls, but she always found some plants - they just weren't what she expected them to be.

I have felt a little sorry that I wasn't able to give good descriptions of the plants she found, and only gave them mild effects. But now we have this! I believe it will change our game for good - thank you for creating such a good resource.

I was wondering if you might consider expanding the urban-plants section? For me, some of the allure of Barovia is that it seems as if the corrupted nature is always trying to claw its way into the remnants of civilization. Would you recommend maybe introducing some of the rural plants in e.g., the Vallakian market?

Again - great product, can't wait to get started.

Botanical Guide to Barovia is a Silver best-seller! We've updated the book to version 1.03, which features more guidance on running the Grove of Grey mists adventure, and fixes a few formatting glitches.

In addition, we've uploaded the Silver and Review stretch goal unlocks! The new d100 supernatural table serves as a great tool for adding extra suspense for those traveling through the Barovian wilds, and the new Mist Domain cleric is tailor-made for a Barovian campaign.

Thanks for all the support!

Honestly, I never considered adding a lot of depth to the botony of my homebrew world and now that I have this, it's really created a layer of extra detail and encouraged me to build upon such thoughtful detail. It's a great piece for any campaign really. Must get!

A Botanical Guide to Barovia is now a Copper best-seller! We've added the 5 new magic items as a new PDF. There is one item for each rarity, and each item has been beautifully drawn by BrassikArts! Additionally, we have uploaded a version 1.02 of the book, which includes some minor grammar/typo fixes. Thank you all for your support!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
