And there is nothing wrong with a multi-horror setting, but that isn't what Ravenloft was. That's like complaining that Halloween doesn't have enough vampires in it or that it is being mean to zombie movie fans. The focus of Ravenloft wasn't that. And it was because of a lot of things, including a very clear vision on the part of the black box writers (who definitely had strong opinions about modern horror: opinions I don't share by the way). But that isn't prejudice. Let's not equate taste in horror movies with a term like that. I get it has broad use, but it is charged language. They preferred classic horror, and they made a good argument for it in box set. Whatever the reason, it helped produce a unique setting with a atmosphere and flavor. Change that, you completely change the setting. As for the original module: their job was to turn the original module into a complete setting, which is what they did. They brought in the classic and gothic horror, they bought in the idea of the living villain, they brought in the idea of customizable monsters, etc. The black box builds off the module and makes something new in the process.</p></blockquote><p></p>
