The dark lords are prisoners and jailers simultanealy. The tragey, or macabre joke, is their curses could end if they would get the redemption, but the don't try it ever, but maybe one. They are more monstrous because they are rejecting the opportunity to save themselves. Maybe the curses are a traps to avoid their divine sparks awake up and they remember they were as deities in the past.I don't like stories about conflicts religion vs science, faith vs reason, because they are a totally false dillema. You don't have to chose only one when you can both, for example Rene Descartes, the father of the rationalism was a believer, and George Lemaitre, the father of the theory of the big bang was a priest.* Intercompany crossovers are rare, but they are good to promote no-so-famous franchises.* My intention says the dark powers are "allowed" to cause troubles in a world with modern technology. The lore has to be altered by metagame reasons because Hasbro wants the franchise to be easier to be adapted into action-live production, for example something about teenages from XXI century being sent to Ravenloft academy, and they discover the urban legends about the place as haunted are true.* Please, no a Batle Royal videogame based in Ravenloft.* Now my temptation is a dark domain based in the movie "Doomsday" with tribal-punk orcs (with a light Celt touch) fightings against jerrens (evil halfling, very, very evil), wererats, fomorian giants and other mutans in a post-apocalypse zone (the hill has eyes).<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Waf0kv0KSWc/SX3lDcXLVWI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/2X1oqq1nqNY/s320/Doomsday-movie-05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />* Why not a dread domain based in Jakandor? Necromancers vs zealots/bersekers.* What if the dark powers abduct a creature, this is tainted/cursed/infected and sent to the original place, or other, to cause serious troubles? for example men-eater giants against populations of little humanoids.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/FV0d7ugF6ZQ-R_Hp8rYFT3ddNUOjXHNvgAKFINJzMIawSDS307QKNKcQyn491Dg9p5VFBke5wYLBAHG1WfvI89BB7DeFJVhF3_IVIR6E_7J8L4klq91QWBDBjunRq-VE1WhLONiokAOtXJSKY1id" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />* Tim Burton's Dark Shadows is a good example of how to mixture comedy and gothic horror.* I guess the return of the Mask of the Red Death is possible, but this time will be not in the "Gothic Earth" but the world of Barovia in the prime material plane. Why? Because XIX century, the age of colonial empires, may be potentially pollitically incorrect, and because public domain places and characters could be used by others for "legal mockbusters". Fictional worlds allow more creative freedom, and adding inclusive elements, for example tropical kingdoms as Wakanda.</blockquote>
