[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8208773, member: 6802378"] Today gothic horror isn't the one influence into the new generations of players, but also the lore of lots of movies and survival horror videogames and other franchises: Clive Baker's Jerico, Doom Eternal, Resident Evil, Evil Within, The medium, Silent Hill. The geography of the demiplane has changed to be more sandbox, allowing to add lots of new ideas. (Have you seen the web "the fraternity of shadows"? I would bet WotC wants a future D&D videogame about killing hordes of zombies. And [B]somethings may be very unconfortable, even if you don't notice yet[/B]. For example, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Adolfo_B%C3%A9cquer']Gustavo Adolfo Bequer, a Spanish romanticism poet[/URL] wrote some gothic horror stories with his own touch. One of these is "La Rosa de la Pasion" ( = the Rose of the Passion) about a Jew, Daniel, who didn't want a Christian tried to date his loved daughter. I have mentioned this as an example of something today is not welcome because it is politically incorrect. Now let's imagine that Daniel as a new dark lord in a sourcebook for DM Guild, but the author doesn't say a word about his faith, but a Spanish Jew notices what is the original source of inspiration and the title is reported. Now let's imagine other example: Edgard Allan Poe's "the pit and the pendulum". Do forgive me this spoiler. The storyteller and main character is found by a Napoleon's soldier. He was a victim of "Spanish Inquisition" and then the Frenchs were the good guys who wanted the end of the "dark age" in Spain.
