[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8229369, member: 85555"] Hey, the black box set was the best thing in the line. Don't hate the messenger :) Seriously though I think we just have strikingly different taste on this. No interest in Falkovnia as zombie land. I really liked Falkovnia as it was written in the black box, and I liked the brevity of text there (like I said one of the things I enjoyed as a Ravenloft GM early on was filling in the void myself and using the bare bones content as a launching pad (whether in prep or on the fly). It was just a setting that instantly made sense to me in that format and presentation. But as the setting grew, like a lot of TSR settings at the time (and I suppose like a lot of later WOTC settings too) the canon was just too sprawling for my taste). That is just preference though.
