I am willing to bet there are Ravenloft purists out there who in fact don't believe this new book has all the rules Ravenloft needs for an effective campaign.  Because those 2E books had a crap-ton of new rules for all kinds of stuff, of which almost none of it is included in Van Richten's.  The only difference is how many of those rules a person feels are necessary or not necessary to have.You have a certain level of mechanical heft you feel is necessary to actually have a 5E Dark Sun campaign setting book, whereas others would think that heft was unnecessary.  You believe Van Richten's has all the heft necessary to run Ravenloft, whereas there are others probably out there who believe WotC missed the mark and left too much out.  Neither of you is right... and neither of you is wrong.  And it's because there is no consensus, WotC feels fine producing the single campaign books that they do... because they'll be perfectly useable to a large enough sampling of the D&D population for what they need.</blockquote>
