Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft) Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft) Masque of the Red Death is a campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, named after the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name. The setting was published after the release of the "Ravenloft" campaign setting in 1994 as "Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales", and is regarded as an add-on for that line. "Masque of the Red Death" has many of the same qualities as "Ravenloft", such as "power checks" and restricted magic, including limited planar travel. Unlike Ravenloft, the location of the adventures is "Gothic Earth",
Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales are included, each in its own 32-page booklet, called "Red Tide", "Red Jack", and "Red Death" respectively. "Masque of the Red Death and other Tales" is an "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" game supplement for the Ravenloft setting, published by TSR, Inc. as a boxed set containing one 128-page book, three 32-page books, one three-panel referee screen, one 21" X 32" map sheet, one 21" X 32" poster. Design was by William W. Connors with D.J. Heinrich, Colin McComb, and Shane Hensley; editing was by Anne Brown, Jonatha Ariadne Caspian, and Richard Pike-Brown.
