[QUOTE="QuentinGeorge, post: 8806377, member: 20990"] You seriously think anyone has a problem with a sort of "reimagining' that is 100% compatible with what goes before? Let's not get all facetious here, we all know what Micah Sweet is referring to and what is objection is. Let's take the book that WoTC put out recently with the word Ravenloft on it. Falkovnia and Valachan, to name two domains are so completely different from what they were before they literally share nothing in common with their previous incarnations than their names. The amount of work to use any previous edition lore in those places is so total that you might as well not bother. Particularly egregious since Valachan had more adventures set in it than any other Domain (thanks to Dungeon magazine) but the chances of [I]Felkovic's Cat [/I]being playable in 5E Valachan and making any sense at all are basically nil. The only WoTC employee to have experience in classic Ravenloft, ironically is Chris Perkins, but his 2E adventure, [I]Horror's Harvest, [/I]is likewise set in a version of Falkovnia that no longer exists. Sort of funny, I guess. Sure, maybe you think this "doesn't matter". That's your perogative. Others disagree. What I seem to be seeing here is a willful decision to not even understand the objection Micah_Sweet is making! Strip away what was there before and go for an in-name-only Dragonlance...why bother?
