I mean, it’s great that you liked the meta-plot, but there are a lot of folks who didn’t. Settings often set up dramatic questions with big stakes so the players can answer them in their own campaigns. Coming up with canonical resolutions inherently invalidates the stories being told at the table by real play groups, who then have to decide if they want to ignore the meta-plot, or ret-con their own campaigns.Let’s not be over-dramatic here. There’s no Ministry of Truth changing the text in the old books. Nobody is changing history or pretending the past doesn’t exist. They’re just moving on from the past. 5e Ravenloft is not 2e Ravenloft, neither of which are 3e Ravenloft. You can use the bits of each you like, and weave your own story that connects them if you like, and other groups can choose different bits that they like. That’s a positive thing.And yet, the MCU has a completely different continuity than the comics. Different mediums demand different approaches. What works well for continuity in a comic book series is not the same as what works well for a film franchise based on the same characters, which is not the same as what works well for an RPG based on them.</blockquote>
