Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft May Be My Favorite 5E Book (And I May Never Use It for 5E)

I picked up Wizards of the Coast's Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons supplement, "Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft," over the weekend. Having given it an initial read, I think it might be my favorite 5E supplement. Why? It provides conceptual, mostly system agnostic tools, for creating and developing horror settings, such as Ravenloft, that I think can be leveraged as a powerful general tool for thinking about and implementing BBEGs, whether you're running 5E, OSR, or a different system altogether.
