It uses 4E rules but it in no way tries to emulate an RPG in any manner beyond that. If you don't like 4E as it uses miniatures for combat - castle Ravenloft being a miniatures based board game is not going to change that. Incidentally, it has a lot of good miniatures for a DM: Including a huge Dracolich.The game seems simple, but that's because it removes 99% of the decision making in the rules. For example if PC X is Y squares and PC A is B squares, the monster picks whichever one is closer to it to attack. That sort of thing. It's every bit a miniatures war game as 4E, except that it has the purpose of automating the monsters actions into a cooperative experience. If you think of something like Arkham Horror, it's closer to that conceptually than DnD in many ways.</blockquote>
