Foreword

In the dark and foreboding realm of Ravenloft, where the mysts of dread cling to the land and the chilling howls of
werewolves pierce the night, a new chapter of horror and heroism unfolds. Welcome to ‘Curse of Strahd: Rebitten’,
a gripping supplement and companion that plunges you deeper into the treacherous depths of Castle Ravenloft
and the shadowy corners of Strahd von Zarovich’s eternal domain.
The land of Ravenloft has long been shrouded in darkness, with Count Strahd Von Zarovich’s malevolent rule
casting a pall over the land and its unfortunate inhabitants. ‘Curse of Strahd’ introduced you to this land of despair,
but ‘Rebitten’ takes you further, delving into the darkest secrets of Castle Ravenloft and offering new challenges,
characters, and horrors to confront.
For Dungeon Masters yearning to weave a more intricate tale of terror, this supplement is your guide to enhancing
and expanding upon the original adventure. Within these pages, you will discover new mysteries lurking in the
castle’s deepest chambers, unearth the tragic past of Strahd and his victims, and encounter formidable allies and
adversaries who will shape the fate of Ravenloft in unforeseen ways. ‘Curse of Strahd: Rebitten’ introduces
innovative gameplay elements, thrilling storylines, and chilling horrors that will keep even the most seasoned
adventurers on the edge of their seats.
So, gather your fellow adventurers, prepare to confront the ultimate evil, and embrace the darkness as you step
once more into the cursed land of Ravenloft. ‘Curse of Strahd: Rebitten’ beckons you to take one more step down
the winding path of terror, where every choice could mean the difference between salvation and eternal
damnation.

Dare you take that one more bite into the forbidden fruit of Strahd’s realm?
