When designing both 4E and the Ravenloft boardgame they looked at the latest trends in RPGs for 4E and the latest trends in boradgames for Ravenloft. They incorporated those trends into 4E and weren't as successful in that approach as they had hoped. But when they designed Ravenloft, they determined that making it a eurogame style wouldn't work for the feel they wanted to convey. They instead made a good game based on its own strengths. And the eurogame crowd picked it up and played it because it was a great boardgame despite it not being a eurogame. So, following that logic, they've now realized that they don't have to make an RPG that tries too hard to incorporate the latest trends in RPG, they just need to make a great game that people will play despite not including those latest trends in gaming.</p></blockquote><p></p>
