[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8270515, member: 6802378"] Sometimes I think WotC is planning a multiverse crisis event causing a reboot of all D&D lines. It may be neccesary in a future, but if the changes are too radical maybe we don't feel too confortable. Other reason for the reboot is to cause the "obsolence" of the previous lore, one of the reasons because it is too known by the players, spoiling lots of possible surprises. * Japanese folklore is too rich with ghost and yokai and akuma to not be included in Ravenloft. I guess WotC wants to publish a new book adding more domains and monsters. TSR wanted to publish a second Ravenloft spin-off based in Orient, the Masque of the Jade Horror. * I like the idea of "Shadowfell domains", tainted but not totally controlled by the Dark Powers because this allows more freedom to supernatural romance and horror for kid stories where happy end is easier to be got. Why not a new setting where gods disappeared after a new war against the titans, and then the fey lords became the new pantheon, causing new troubles about who should be rewarded or punished in the afterlife, and besides that, the primal powers from the Far Realm trying a planar invasion.
