My feeling was that it made it sort of boring. If you were going from Domain A to Domain D, you were going to have to go through Domains B and C, rather than coming up with some alternate route.I think Ravenloft has more than enough ways to make travel difficult and dangerous and didn't need a Grand Canyon full of heebie-jeebies dropped into the middle of everything. Replacing it with, for instance, a dark and mysterious forest would be more thematically appropriate for pretty much every adjacent domain, but it'd also give players an interesting choice: Stay on the road where the Darklord has spies and agents waiting, or risk cutting through the forest that no one you know has ever gone into and come back out alive or unchanged?</blockquote>
