[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8614578, member: 52734"] While I don't like some of the changes they made (Victra Mordenheim comes to mind at the foremost), overall I do like it better than previous iterations. To me, the book feels focused more on actually running adventures in Ravenloft at the game table than on spinning a tale for the DM about the villians as he reclines and reads his copy of VRGtR in a study. I am a bit disappointed with Strixhaven - I wanted more campaign setting and adventure ideas and less a fully fleshed out adventure. At first, I wasn't enamoured with Witchlight. Got it for my wife, and glancing through it it was lot more interesting than I had initially thought it was going to be. And of course, it had some of my favorite old LJN action figures as enemies... Overall, there is an undercurrent of feeling that this aimed at a slightly younger, or at least carefree crowd than back in say, the 90's. But the 90's was an era dominated with media that pointed towards a society that thought everything was going to come to a crashing end around 2000 - perhaps the biggest group of that time being the "emos". We're in an era now, that until lately, has a horizon uncluttered with doom and gloom, with no future looming predictions of our untimely demise (again, ignoring a couple of recent events). [/QUOTE]
