The metaplot was an important part in some TTRPGs in the past but that ended, among other reasons because today that stuff is too easy to be spoilered thanks internet. WotC is more focused into to sell crunch. Maybe there are some pieces of metaplot in 5e but this advances very slowly.Today WotC is happy earning money thanks Ravenloft content by 3PPs in DMGuild. Now they are some Hollywood productions or Gothic horror but this is a relatively lower number, for example Crimson Peak(2015) or the invitation (2022). Abigail(2022) is not "old-school" gothic horror but that kind of story could be possible in Ravenloft. Tarot(2024) is other example. The teleserie "From" has got the same "vibes". Other titles are more "action-horror" style "Buffy vampire slayer" or "Supernatural" where there is some space for the comedy.My opinion is only Tristen Hiregaard has got true posibilities of redemption because his curse wasn't caused because his own past sins but other's actions. He is not the true dark lord of Nova Vaasa but this is Malken. Maybe Tristen Hiregaard will die but his soul will find the peace and Malken will exist like a separate entity. We can't forget Vecna still wants revengue against the Dark Powers and maybe he was responsible of the "shatering" of the core, colaborating with Azalin. The possible weak point of Ravenloft is the dark domains are "small spaces" for supernatural conspirancies and confrontations between factions (like vampire clans). Here I miss some domains based in Innistrad, New Capena and Duskmourn.</blockquote>
