[QUOTE="Toben the Many, post: 3970877, member: 19273"] Truthfully, my solution would piss off a lot of the old-school Ravenlofters, but I don't see any way around it. For Ravenloft to work truly in 4e, it would need to attract a new audience. With Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, it's pretty clear that WotC hit reboot on the setting as a whole. I would continue with that...but still pay homage to the old-school fans. I would simply do thiat - set the timeline far past the Time of Ultimate Darkness. The problem with the setting in its current state is that the ToUD is impeding. And has been for quite some time, with no conclusion. I would set the date far past the ToUD and reveal a much-changed land. First of all, I would have the Ravenloft continent be surrounded by water. Sure, the Mists are still there, but I would have it be a proper land. The people living there would have no idea that it was a demiplane. Indeed, having it as a demiplane might not even work with the new cosmology. With the timeline so advanced, many of the Darklords would be radically changed. And so would the domains. I would also have it to where there could actually be war between the domains. Right now, war is impossible because of the ability to seal off the domains. Those are just some thoughts off of the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
