[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9271994, member: 6802378"] "Buffy the vampire slayer" was a horror and urban fantasy teleserie where not always the vampires were the monster of the week. Some dark lords of 2nd Ed were desgined to be like one-shot adventures, and now in the 5ed the dread domains have been designed to can live different adventures without direct contact with the dark lords. In 2nd Ed the dark lords were enemies with a high power level, but now in 5Ed there aren't challengue rating for the dark lords. Other point is if the players have readen the wikis, then they could know too much about the dark lords, their past, background and even possible weak points. Where is the mistery then? Some times the DMs rewritte the canon intentionally. For example the players find a way to escape toward the material plane, and this happens, but not in the way they imagined, and now they are in Innistrad(Magic: the Gathering) or the Athasian Tablelands(Dark Sun). Some times the DMs have to use different type of monsters because players are too focused into hunting undeads and werebeasts, for example plants and constructs. Any times dark lords aren't the true main enemies but these help PCs against a worse menace, for example Tharizdum cult, or Lvecraftian invader horrors from the Far Realm. [/QUOTE]
