[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8252015, member: 6802378"] The "specialite of the house" is not going to be stopped but other plates with different recipes are going to be served also. Here the strategy is "don't put all the eggs in one basket". And there are enough space to allow Lovecraftian/cosmic horror, even we could use PC races from Eberron. The thaani, refugees from Bluetspur, could be as the khalastar. The 2nd Ed had got a piece of body horror, the dark lord [URL='https://www.fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/Dr._Frantisek_Markov']dr Fransiket Markov[/URL]. I show this Extreme Ghostbuster episode as example of "kid-friendly" body horror. [MEDIA=youtube]RC--JYLt_Ig[/MEDIA] * One of my last ideas about Ravenloft is some times Dark Powers lose dread domains, because the dark lord dies and the "heir" is too nobleheart, willing for self-sacrifice and even the martyrdom. Then the domain "escape", goes to other zone in the middle between Astral Sea and Shadowfell, and here the Dark Powers can taint and cause some troubles but direct controll is totally lost. Then the trick is to use infiltrated to create secret lodges who conspirate against the "previous (oppresive) regime". Other "penance domains" weren't created by the Dark Lords, but demiplanes or demiplanes created from other places (someones with modern technology) and "almost fished" by the Dark-Lords. Here good wins, but a sweetbitter victory, almost pyrrhic, or they die, but their sacrifice they save their souls, and that is the ultimate victory. * We should be careful about new players who believe Ravenloft is only a grimmdark hack and slash as Blizzard's Diablo.
