[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4703098, member: 57894"] I think in some regards Ravenloft can actually work extremely well in 4e, not so much as a complete setting. But as a set of modular rulesets and fluff pieces. The nice thing with 4e is how modular it is. It is very easy to grasp different rules and place them wholesale into your game without much worry. As such the various rules in Ravenloft could be developed as modular and thus easy to be brought into any game besides Ravenloft. The fluff pieces would be there to bring across various Ravenloft tropes and suggestions, such as the Mist (my personal favourite part of the setting). The article/book could also have suggestions on adaptations, etc. So how would different races or classes fit in a gothic horror game. What Skill Challenges could be showcased that sort of thing. Also, actually, like we have seen with the Necromancer article there could be different Powers perhaps different Feats (such as the Technique and Gladiator ones) to make the classes feel like they part of the world with some specific abilities. Probably some backgrounds as well. [/QUOTE]
