[QUOTE="ProfessorPain, post: 4636482, member: 82012"] I think you are right that the nature of 4E needs to be considered. It probably won't mesh as easily with a full fledged Ravenloft Setting as 3E or 2E; but it is still doable in my opinion. Say they do end up releasing a complete Ravenloft setting; from a marketing standpoint, is it really a good idea to do an overhaul of the setting? The only reason to release Ravenloft is because it has a built in audience: hard core Ravenloft Fans. It probably isn't going to appeal to people outside of that group as much anyways, so why meddle with it? I'll be honest here, the only reason why I like Ravenloft, and would love to see a 4E version, is because it was the first game I ever ran; I grew up running Ravenloft Modules, reading Ravenloft Novels, and Absorbing the Van Richten Guide Books. I think what they should do for things like Dark Sun, Spell Jammer and Ravenloft, is create a "Classics Line". They should keep the fluff relatively untouched, but update the mechanics for 4E.
