I found these items to be a bit too strong for what I was looking for. For example, most of the weapons are +2 and +3 items, which is more powerful than I would want to give out during a Ravenloft. Maybe as a campaign-ending reward. Also, I would have liked to see more drawbacks to the items--having them come with both benefit and risk; but that's a personal preference, I guess. Anyway, they do seem solidly designed if you're willing to go to that power level; I just wouldn't recommend them for low-level campaigns.

Dave's Treasures series is one I am getting excited for, so when he asked me to take a look at Treasures of Ravenloft I did not hesitate, as I love Ravenloft as a setting. With Bob's haunting cover art, you immediatly get sucked into 21 pages of spoopy tray-jure, and they are fantastic. Along with new magic items, you get new spells, new wondrous items, and all of it fit together into a well laid out and well organized piece. I honestly really enjoyed the addition of the pistols and rifles, as I think asides from Eberron and Ravnica, Barovia radiates the 18th century motif that can often go well or poorly depending on how it's done, and Ravenloft does it perfectly. Overall, I cannot wait to add this little beauty to my first Curse of Strahd game!
