There can be divisive things in continuity. 1e Greyhawk has the fantastic <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17392/World-of-Greyhawk-Fantasy-Game-Setting-1e?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">boxed campaign set</a>. It also has the less well liked <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17398/WG7-Castle-Greyhawk-1e?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Castle Greyhawk</a>. 2e has pre-Greyhawk Wars, Greyhawk Wars, From the Ashes, then later development WotC era 2e Greyhawk. These are different tones and developments, but it is one continuing continuity. 2e also continues on from 1e. 3e Greyhawk continues on from 2e.Vecna goes from a 1e lich to a 2e demigod to a 3e god, but this is a progression within the continuity. Vecna in 4e Dawn War pantheon and 5e Exandria are each different continuities inspired in part by Greyhawk Vecna, but there is not an expectation that they are a continuation of the Greyhawk Vecna.Sure there was <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/44/Wizards-of-the-Coast/subcategory/9730_263/Ravenloft-d20?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">3e official Ravenloft material</a>, I have a shelf full of them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It was an officially licensed 2nd party publishing model for the setting in 3e. Just like 3e Kalamar and all of 3e Dragonlance beyond the core setting book.All of it counts for continuity. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> 5e Ravenloft does not continue on from the prior continuity, it is a new different reimagined one that is its own separate continuity the way the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a different continuity from the comics or various cartoons.Do you consider each D&D product is its own separate thing with no continuity from one to the next? That seems a weird view to me.As we both recognize there was a goal of a continuity before. That has changed. Now there is not a goal of continuity with old lore.Whether you consider this a good change is a matter of opinion that varies.</blockquote>
