My idea of "crossover" would be something like "M from Greyhawk or V from Faerun have been in the demiplane of the dread for the last weekend". Romance stories with no-human couples are possible in D&D, only they aren't the main plot, something like in Dragonlance novels. Vryloka and revenants were PC races in 4th Ed (Heroes of Shadow). These in Ravenloft or Innistrad shouldn't be a great surprise. We can't now Hasbro plan's about cinema productions. It has got deals with Paramount, Netflix and Disney, but this 2021 the entertaiment industry could change radically by fault of things not-linked with the world of the culture. Most of ghotic monsters are public domain, and today the gothic horror is a forgotten genre, but Ravenloft is special, with its own style. If the work by the scriptwritters is right, it may become a smash-hit as Stranger Things. Do you remember Castlevania Netflix anime? Or Blade the vampire-hunter movies, or Buffy, the vampire-slayer. Ravenloft is also gothic action-horror, with space for characters like Halliwel sisters from Charmed. The dark powers can cause serious troubles out of the demiplane, allowing strange stories like ones from "the Twighlight Zone". Hasbro could dare to publish a videogame set in a pulp age version of "the Mask of the Red Death", an action RPG using an alternate version of d20, and testing power balance of hand-to-hand enemies against (modern) firearms.  * In the past I suggest to add two new abilitie scores for games with more investigation and horror, like a cousin of "the Call of Culhthu": Acuity (astuteness + perception/naturalist inteliggence) and Spirit (Fate/Luck/Karma/divine grace + courage).</blockquote>
