Second, I noticed (out of the blue, last night) I own all the 3rd Ed supplements so far. More of a collector then I thought, as I thumbed through the pages for the first time. I wondered, how would one run a campaign? Surely there are different factors - they were born there, they were misted there, they want to stay, or leave; but how do you combine each adventure into a Ravenloft adventure? It shouldn't just be good hearted at the end, it should be fearful at the same time.I know that each session can't be some sort of sanity losing CoC plot, though the atmosphere of fear and horror should still be there. I learned in English class during High School that Shakespeare, in Macbeth, included the scene of a drunk guard at the gate for comic relief. It has to have valleys as well as peaks. How would a DM apply that to Ravenloft? While it shouldn't be suspenseful all the time ... it feels from reading it as if it should be.</blockquote>
