The latest update to Neverwinter delves into familiar territory to Dungeon & Dragons fans of old. Ravenloft gives players of the game a chance to travel to Barovia and eventually face off against Strahd himself! Will this live up to memories of old or simply be as thin as mists in the forest?

Cryptic's Jared "NoWorries" Sears has posted a new blog post on the Neverwinter site to show off some nice changes coming with the Heart of Fire module. One of the most interesting is that non-legendary end chests will be able to be opened for free -- meaning no key required! "Overall the key mechanic wasd frustrating, and needing to spend AD on keys for additional dungeon runs in a given day wasn't a great experience," Sears wrote.

We have updated our original article with a statement from Cryptic Studios about the exploit ban wave. Cryptic Studios acknowledged on September 12th that there was an exploit in the Neverwinter Barovia Hunts "that bypasses the intended gameplay" and that the company was working to patch the issue as soon as possible. The post further indicated that "any character found using the exploit will be subject to possible actions taken against player accounts as per Terms of Service".

Today's post deals specifically with the player's workshop.

Neverwinter's next module is going to be a bit different than the norm. The Heart of Fire is created in collaboration with Penny Arcade's Acquisitions Incorporated D&D campaign. It has stories and voice over from Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins plus Amy Falcone, it's a more lighthearted journey through famous locales across the Forgotten Realms. We had a chance to play the campaign's opening mission at PAX West.
