Hail all!
Looking for some websites or other source material for building a gothic mood/setting into a standard homebrew. I ran Ravenloft for many years back when it first came out, so I get the basics. I just like to re-read the flavor advice to keep it fresh. If anyone has any good stuff...or bad stuff, hit me a link...Thanks

Depending if you want to a create very dark medieval setting or a gothic steampunk scenario, there are various things to recommend you.

Medieval dark fantasy:
* Scarred Lands campaign setting d20
* Ivid the Undying/ Greyhawk setting
* Erde setting d20

Gothic/ Steampunk:
*Returners RPG: World of Aeolus (FF 6) freeware on the web!
*Masque of the Red Death campaign book (3rd ed.)
* Degenesis (German primal punk rpg)

Besides, I think, every Vampire or Ravenloft book should help you and give you clues - those above are what I especially would recommend.

Buy or borrow the Ravenloft Dungeon Master's Guide. It's got everything you need.

The best link I can offer to you is one that has you visiting your local library, to creak open a few tomes and study the art during its peak.

It's what all the authors of Ravenloft did at one point in time, I'd wager.
