[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8256093, member: 6802378"] I guess the creature from the picture about cosmic horror is the famous vampire illithid. * When Ravenloft was published as setting internet hasn't arrived yet, and the first Resident Evil was far in the future, or the movie of Buffy vampire slayer, or Tom Cruise, Brad Pritt and Kristen Dunt in "Interview with a vampire". Today it is different, not only because adult young players are used to (survival horror) videogames, American Horror Story but the rich "fakelore" of creepypasta and the horror postcasts as the Magnus Files. We can't denny this recent mythology has to become a serious influence among the new generation of Ravenloft fandom. WotC shouldn't forbid those influences, but allowing space for the different styles. * Why any people like to feel fear? I guess this helps us to inconsciently remember we are enoughly lucky enjoing a "boring" life and we haven't worry about our safety/security. * Cosmic Horror is harder in D&D when the characters know there is a hell and a Heaven in the afterlife. Maybe your world, your solar system, is only dust lost among the void of the space, but there are supreme powers who worry about your soul. * Horror roleplayers don't want "jumpscare" but defeat all that could fear. Some monsters from horror movies, for example C.H.U.D. (1984) in D&D aren't more dangerous than kobolds and goblings when the PCs have got enough weapons and item to defend themself. In the first movie "Alien, the 8th passenger" one was enough to kill almost all the Nostromo crew, but in the sequel dozens, maybe hundreds, could be killed from other room with sentinel torrets.
