Ok i origianlly planned to do a 4e adventrue in ravenloft with my friends, who all seemed quite as excited as me for the prospect of the adventure. however i got majorly stalled on the creative process and am having many diffuculties converting monsters and creating a good story element. i think i may have bit off more than i could chew lol. So i had decided to look at some of the premade adventures and maybe change thier aspects to ravenloft to fit my campaign, this is how i came across the War of the Burning Sky setting and immediately loved it. i want to introduce it to my group however my one problem is thier expecting ravenloft and have already designed their characters. now one idea i had was to have ravenloft kidnap the WotBS setting but get sealed out, and through the adventure when they complete it "hopefully by then my original ravenloft idea will be ready lol" the dark powers of ravenloft burst through the barrier to claim the realm, only to discover that it has either been freed from their grasp by the parties actions, or it is burning to ashen ruin by the parties actions based on the nice quote "will you save the nation, or watch it burn". at that point the dark powers as either punishment, or intrigue would rip a peice of their essence out returning them to lvl 1 and placing them in the core of ravenloft to fight once more.
BTW If you play once a week for about 3-4 hours, how long would it take to get through the first 2 secitons of WotBS setting? i only have those 2 at the moment.
For my ravenloft campaign these are the main ideas:
1. lvl 1 - 10 survive and begin panning to escape.
2. lvl 11 - 20 kill the darklords and free thier territories.
3. lvl 21-29 kill the 5 incarnations of the Dark Powers to reclaim the 5
sections that ravenloft was divided into when the incarnations appeared.
4. lvl 30 kill the 5 dark powers and either take their power as thier own and open the multiverse to ravenlofts evil with the party becoming the new and more powerful Dark Powers of Ravenloft, or they destroy the powers taken from the Dark Powers and in doing so free all the lands and people from the realm of dread and returning them to thier proper place.
for my ravenloft campaign I am welcoming all input and advice as i need alot of it to make it work. For some reason its not working out when i try to do it. i guess it doesnt help that my previous campaign only lasted one session, and within that session there was at least one who kept asking when wed be playing my friends session again... so confidence in writing my own not so high.
