[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8252493, member: 6802378"] We are talking about that is the "orthodoxy" of Ravenloft canon and if we should allow other sources of inspiration from closer years. I say we do. The mummy is a classic monster, but it doesn't appear in the standar gothic literature. Why not to addd new elements? For example the kytons or chain devils as ersatz/rip off of the cenobites from Hellraiser. We are going to erasure all we loved in Ravenloft but add more options. The original recipes are still being served, but some little ingredients has been changed, and this hasn't to be bad. Ravenloft is mainly but not only gothic horror. There are space for different types of stories, even an innocent monster-hunt as Scooby-doo cartoon or R.L.Stine's Goosebumps. * Dreadful and powerful aren't the same. A monster or enemy can be very dangerous or powerful, but to cause fear you need some different. A slasher is fearful but a horde of gnolls can cause more victims in the same time. * D20 Menace had got its own "thing", the star doppleganger, and also a template for slashers. * I miss supernatural conspirancies. I mean the demiplane is a too small sandbox for fantasy spy stories. No secret group can be more powerful than the regional criminal guild lord. [URL unfurl="true"]https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Killers[/URL] * Tepest should be the "Jurasic Park" for the evil faes, for example the redcaps. [/QUOTE]
