I honestly don't get it myself. Pretty much D&D through every edition has worked way better in 1-10 range than above it, so I have no idea why people want to speed-run to the unplayable part. (And then complain that their campaigns fall apart)

My reaction to the whole "1 and 2 are not real levels" is honestly the whole "these go to 11" scene from Spinal Tap. If you're meant to start at level 3...it should be level 1.

It's certainly completely pointless in 5E since there is so many subclasses most of the character concepts can be done without multiclass.

Can you actually address my point rather than the point you made up in your head? I'm not complaining about there being a "cosmic horror" themed darklord. I'm complaining about literally porting over Cthulhu as is as a darklord.

It's pretty much the most uninspired approach. Ravenloft already has its own style of cosmic horror, why import someone elses?

Wizards of the Coast has never understood Ravenloft as a setting, they're not about to start doing it now, my friend.

Weren't they from another planet? So there's probably no need to have a lot of stuff about them.

The guy who (accidently) killed Henri II was a member of the Scottish Guard (the French regiment, of Scottish descent but actually French). He later converted to Protestantism and fled to Elizabeth I's England and the French tried to get her to extradite him back. I think you may be conflating...

Yep, fundamentally, adding any sort of plot to a publish D&D adventure almost always lays down the railroad tracks.

I think you might want to check the names of the contractors who wrote that 1E Module. Here let me help.

Based on what happened last time Winninger went to Castle Greyhawk, this product could have been far, far worse.

The crazy thing about this is that the Anglo-Saxons were probably Christians before the Normans were! The last pagan Anglo-Saxon King died centuries before Rollo became ruler of Rouen. (The Anglo-Saxon/Norman conflict is also heavily exaggerated, it was basically already moribund by the reign...

I am so tired of the depicton of medieval people as having an inversion to colour. Guys, we have medieval art, we know how they dressed. You just don't think they looked cool.
