[QUOTE="David Murrell, post: 8273483, member: 6985909"] Excuse me, but thinking something can be improved upon does not stop you being a fan. I'm clearly not Paul, but I also started playing D&D in 1984, I also bought the Ravenloft setting when it came out in 1990. It was my setting, I ran a four year long campaign in that setting, which not only i but also my players enjoyed enough that we still talk about it over a quarter of a century later. Was the setting back then perfect? No, I didn't notice all the flaws at the time, I was 15 when the setting came out, but even back in the day there were parts I didn't like or use. 30 years later would I use the old setting? Sure, but it would need some reworking, it is 3 decades old and there were bits I didn't enjoy even when I was a teenager, my tastes and opinions have I matured. Am I looking forward to the new book? You bet I am, I have been a fan of Ravenloft for over 30 years, I am looking forward to seeing what has been changed and hopefully improved. Will I like all of it? Probably not because no matter how big a fan I am, I am not expecting a perfect book without any flaws. So you don't know me, and I don't know you, please refrain from telling me what I like or don't like, or how I am meant to react to a book I have no read yet. I am in my mid 40's and have been making my own opinions and using my own judgment long enough that I don't appreciate strangers attempting to do that for me. You have every right to your opinions, as I do mine, but please don't attempt to portray your opinions as mine. Either directly or as 'older players think this, and if they don't they're not real fan'. I am not a gate and I don't need a keeper. [/QUOTE]
