[QUOTE="Micah Sweet, post: 8265193, member: 6747251"] I know it's not an easy decision, but I'm still voting for option 1. It lets them tell the story they want to tell in the way they want to tell it, without pretending the past wasn't a different place from the present. As someone posted above (and I paraphrase), if you're going to rewrite history to make the new narrative work in the old story, why tell the old story at all? The only part of the old Ravenloft they actually need for this book is the concept of domains and darklords. Everything else they could have and should have made up on their own. While it seems that many internet-following folks like this new direction (and there are many interesting ideas), I suspect that there are a fair number of D&D players who know something about Ravenloft, don't follow every preview, who will buy this book, expecting it to be a 5e update in the vein of the Realms or Eberron, and be surprised. Some of them, unpleasantly so. [/QUOTE]
