I would have to review all the lords, which I don't have time to, to respond more fully to this statement. And in terms of characters like Elise Mordenheim, that actually works for Mordenheim's motivation I think. And it ties at least loosely to some of the beats in the source material (certainly paves the way for a Bride of Frankenstein like plot: and there is an adventure called Bride of Mordenheim). You can dismiss this stuff by just calling it "women in refrigerators". That doesn't make it bad or not well done. You have to judge these things on their own. In the case of Elise, that is material I think added to the setting (in general I thought lamordia was incredibly well done, though I know you and I disagree strongly on Lamordia based on our posts). If you don't like it, you don't like it. It is perfectly reasonable for you to not find Victor Mordenheim or Adam to be well written (especially since they are stand ins for existing characters from Gothic Fiction). But I really think these kinds of dismissive critics that are little more than invoking a term, doesn't capture if something is good writing or not. For me the proof was in the pudding. Running a character like Mordenheim was always very easy, and part of the reason was you could steer that easily into numerous different directions (camp, melodrama, sympathetic villainy, etc).</blockquote>
