[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 7692066, member: 78752"] I still don't see anything in this release that says we'll be seeing any actual Ravenloft setting material. We've seen Castle Ravenloft published on five separate occasions, and only /one/ of those has any link to the Ravenloft setting, let alone the logo on the cover. In the run-up to D&D5, Mearls stated that they were considering renaming the Shadowfell "Ravenloft." All you need to cover the "demiplanar" points made in this release is the core-setting Shadowfell fluff described in D&D4 (and D&D5, for that matter). If all you care about seeing from the Ravenloft setting are the Mists, Barovia, Strahd, and Eva, you won't be disappointed. If you're hoping to cross the border into Borca -- forgive me -- you are s**t out of luck. I am sure the book will have a page in the back that talks about the relationship of the module to the AD&D2 setting material. But do not expect more than that. Man, I am not trying to rain on anybody's parade! I just hate to see people angry and disappointed when it is so easily avoided! That aside, I really hope "material from the original Ravenloft adventure" is limited to maps. There is no justifiable reason to rehash the same plot for a fourth time and sell it for $50 when I can get two older and easily convertible versions of the same story online for less than $20 total. It's Strahd that will sell copies, not the encounters or events. Do something new with him, for gods' sake! [/QUOTE]
