Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8210918">Two points about this: one the classic ravenloft still gave you tools for closing the domain and entrapping the pcs. If you needed to prevent escape, or needed to entrap the pcs in some way: you could. Nothing at all was stopping you. Making them disconnected islands doesn't make that easier to do (because even core domains could close their borders). The second point is, a little complex. Yes domain lords can't leave their domains, but some domains are not bound by simple geography. Some have whole rivers, oceans or roads as their domain (stretching over many domains). Some have domains that can appear anywhere. So there are domain lords who can come after you. Also, domain lords can't chase you, but their minions can. One benefit of a connected core, is domain lords can send their minions over the border for all kinds of things. Finally, Ravenloft isn't really just about fighting with domain lords. There are so many other types of opponents to face.</blockquote>
