[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5648324, member: 82106"] Yeah, Ravenloft seems far from dead in 4e to me. The Shadowfell is a perfect place for it, 4e canon unequivocally locates domains of dread in the Shadowfell, and really that's about all there is to say about it. They haven't released specific info for the location, but we do have stat blocks for Strahd and some other domains have been done up. Most of the material in Gloomwrought and HoS is certainly highly useful, we have a despair mechanism, a lot of info on conditions in the Shadowfell, etc. I'd also note that WotC never said they were giving up on doing Ravenloft. They just said they had removed it from the schedule because they felt the design didn't meet their expectations and they weren't going to release it in the state it was in. They did say it could well be back on the schedule at a later date. Now that a LOT more Shadowfell stuff HAS been released it may be a more interesting project too, since it can piggyback off existing material and will need less new stuff of its own. [/QUOTE]
