This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone have any experience or comments on Masque of the Red Death Player's Guide for 5e? I've always found that gothic horror is best in its original milieu - the 19th century. Is this version of Masque worth considering?

If it's an official WOTC thing, I'd be wary of it given the 19th Century setting.

Especially if it came out in 2019 or later.

It's DMs Guild, so not official WOTC, but meeting DMs Guild guidelines. I'm sure it has the usual disclaimers, "representation" among sample PCs and NPCs, etc. I'm willing to overlook that on a very limited basis if there's sufficient good content. I have no hesitation about editing fluff to suit my own preferences.

I read a review and it sounds very good. In fact it sounds good enough to tempt me to maybe buy it.

In that case, it's worth a look at the very least
