[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7172688, member: 6716779"] I'm not a Ravenloft fan and I did not read that much about what came later in the setting. I'm fine with most of that, but if I did Ravenloft as a setting I would base it off the 1992 boxed set. CoS is not really a Ravenloft setting as such. I don't like RL for thematic reasons not the actual mechanics. There was also an old 2E saying it was something like "Ravenloft Demiplane of Terror ha try being stuck in the wastes of Athas with the Dragon breathing down your neck". RL was kind of a paradise compared to Athas. I'm not a fan of Dragonlance either (Kender Apocalypse jokes aside) but if I was going to redo that setting I would probably set it during the War of the Lance time frame (unless the DL fans are clamouring for a latter timeline). I would not want them to change DL or RL to suit my preferences though there is nothing they could really do to make me like those settings while keeping them unique/interesting. I like Darksun as a minimalist setting, 5 PHB race, a few new ones that is it (lkike the 1st boxed set). The 4E one among its other crimes gave away to much to early like stating out the Sorcerer Kings in its creature books. There was no hint the SK's were Dragons for example in the original material.
