    What makes Arthurian fantasy its own genre, different from more traditional D&D-ish medieval fantasy? What are some Arthurian-style plots?

    On a separate note, in an attempt to answer the OP's query, the following are three major related themes of the Arthurian genre that I think could be taken and used in a Ravenloft-style setting: Moral Integrity: loyalty, bravery and honour, protection of the weak, the physical and spiritual...
