[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 9458838"] The line got bigger than D&D I believe. Everything James said in interviews about it matches what I remember seeing as a reader going into bookstores. Also they often hit the NY Times bestseller list and you would see people reading them Strahd had a few novels in the 90s and appeared in a number, but they did a pretty good job of covering other ground. I will also say the Knight of the Black Rose is, in my opinion, the best book in that line and it kind of had a Monster Rally vibe with Strahd and Soth. People often point to Hammer as a big source of the Ravenloft vibe but Universal monster movies are also part of what made it work. I do think they would benefit though by not making them all about Strahd. There are more interesting domain lords (or at least there were :) ) [/QUOTE]
