D&D 5.5e's Ravenloft update shows why challenge ratings still don't work

Scary season starts early this year, at least as far as [Dungeons & Dragons](https://www.polygon.com/dnd-dungeons-dragons/) is concerned. [The upcoming release of *Ravenloft: The Horrors Within*](https://www.polygon.com/dnd-dungeons-dragons-ravenloft-rules-update-dark-gifts/) on June 16 will mark the peak of “Season of Horror” for the world’s most famous role-playing game; we have some interesting teases of the contents of the book already, thanks to D&D’s new official actual play show, [*Dungeon Masters*](https://www.polygon.com/dnd-dungeons-dragons-dungeon-masters-official-actual-play-lenght-episodes/), and the Ravenloft Play-Along pack available on D&D Beyond.
