Why hasn't Strahd left Castle Ravenloft already? Why do the Vistani first help, and then act against the count... The list is endless...Third, the lack of logic: So a Knight of the Raven has to spend one night in Castle Ravenloft's cathedral?! - How's that possible with the present situation, or even in general?!Now, of course, one can fix everything, but it's the purpose of an adventure to give instructions on how to run a scenario, isn't it? - And I measure a good adventure mainly on how clear and free of mistakes such instructions are.- Back to the original topic, there's really one hope, I think, which is that the campaign fixes itself while running. EtCR is more a scenario, but not a dynamic adventure as I6, and I personally would prefer the later if I had to run a short game. The strength of EtCR lies in the way that you can stretch things, insert more background as you like it - but this fragmentaric setup is also the module's greatest flaw, because it leaves more questions open than it resolves.</blockquote>
