"Point of Lights" is certainly a dark fantasy, which is not everyone's speed. But I did find that I liked the darker stuff, even in Forgotten Realms, which my crew still plays. I did realize though that through game play, they were not into the dark stuff like I am except for in particular situations so I did have to lighten it up for them though as well as tone down the nastiness of some of the NPCs so they could feel like the good guys were good guys. Right now they are collaborating with various other groups that is looking to restore the light and having a ton of fun in the process.One thing that I both liked and disliked about 4e is that the universe is remarkably dark, more so than even Ravenloft, but almost no one ever seems to notice. Most of the universe is the elemental chaos, which is basically populated by CE types, except for the Abyss which is populated by extra evil CE types. Then you have the Astral Sea, which has as many Evil (formerly known as LE and NE) types as the rest of the alignments (which includes as many CE types as either good types). All that stands between the world being completely destroyed are the primal spirits and the fact the evil guys are all engaged in a convoluted WWE soap opera so they don't have time to snuff it out (as soon as I beat my archenemy, my other archenemy, and my best frenemy (and my best frememy's archenemy), I will get around to destroying the world).
Speaking of that, one thing I really liked about 4e is that if you binge watched a couple of years of WWE programming, everything about 4e made sense.
