[QUOTE="Rikka66, post: 8272136, member: 7019937"] They create a much bigger version of this problem in the form of making entirely different versions of the game, so I imagine they aren't worried about this. "If you are a person who really has a strict belief in the original, I would not advise that you watch this program. It'll hurt them." That's a quote from Edward James Olmos in regards to the Battlestar Galatica reboot on the topic of whether fans of the original would enjoy the new series. My point being that we're talking about a topic much bigger than Ravenloft, and one in which the creative industry has firmly pick a side on. They are going to bring back old franchises, and they are going to change them. I don't think WoTC would characterize the new book this way. I'm sure they're position, at least publicly, is that old and new fans a like will find something to love here. And if we only a year out from the latest new chapter in the old Ravenloft meta-plot I'd have more sympathy for fans of it. But we're not. It's been abandoned by the company that controls it, and they intend to move on. My only hope is that any changes they make end up for the better. If not, then count me on the side of the old guard.
