[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8210993, member: 6801228"] Sure, but like I said in a few other responses, them having to actively close the border is too... overt. It is literally setting up that conflict where you have to deal with the Dark Lord, which sort of undercuts the other answer, which is there are other threats. Sure there are other threats, but you don't play something like Ravenloft for Generic Vampire #56, you play for Strahd, for Soth, for these big dramatic figures. And if they can send minions overland, then they can send them on whatever sea route you take as well. See, and that is part of the problem I realized while responding to Bedrock, they aren't describing what is there in a way that makes sense to me. "The Third Reich" is a very different aesthetic than "Military Dictatorship". Yeah, if that is the point of the domain, then the horror is there. Experimentation is always a huge driver of horror. But, I also agree with you that really depicting that sort of horror of war isn't the type of thing most people would find fun. That also isn't the horror of zombies rising up to attack their former allies, which was the only example I saw given. [/QUOTE]
