[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9691368, member: 6802378"] Ravenloft can allow some touchs of comedy, but it is mainly gothic-horror with a lot of tragedy. Here we should avoid troubles and controversies but I guess we are allowed to say when we may feel unconfortable about certain tropes, for example the abuse of "femme fatale" could start to sound like misoginy or male chauvinism. How to say it softly? The end of the Edgard Allan Poe's tory "the pit and the pendulum" may be a clear example of tropes tainted by ideological prejudices we should avoid. I don't feel confortable with G'Henna because.... let's say I miss "positive tokens" like heroic paladins and clerics. Some times funny characters in horror stories add more drama because when something horrible happened to these the shock is greater. There is a domain, Risibilos, with potential for the dark comedy if somebody had got the right idea. I don't remember the name but there was a horror movie where a final girl kills the slasher and then she starts to laugh with no stop, like sign of now she was suffering the curse. The videogame "Little Nightmares" is a good example of how fear is possible without violence or blood to be showed. [/QUOTE]
