Ravenloft (Sword And Sorcery Studios)
''Ravenloft'' is a 2001 role-playing game supplement published by Sword and Sorcery Studios. Contents ''Ravenloft'' is a supplement in which the Ravenloft campaign setting is detailed. Publication history Shannon Appelcline noted that "White Wolf's ArtHaus division opted to produce some d20 lines that the main company might not have been able to. ArtHaus thus licensed two of Wizards of the Coast's old settings - Gamma World in 2001 and Ravenloft in 2002 - and produced a series of supplements for each." Appelcline explained however that "By 2004, the d20 market was in full crash mode. However, White Wolf and Sword & Sorcery had sufficient name recognition that they weren't as deeply impacted as some other publishers.
