One of the biggest challenges when playing Dungeons & Dragons, or any other role-playing game for that matter, is what to do when a player character dies.
Does the party immediately rush off to the nearest temple to magically revive them, or does the player roll up a new character and press on? Perhaps the Dungeon Master (DM) wants to help orchestrate something more complex. The next campaign book from Wizards of the Coast, titled
Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, promises plenty of interesting solutions to the inconvenience of death. You can even take a few of them for a test drive before the book comes out.
