[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8820931, member: 85555"] I agree with you on Dragonlance. I came to that through the trilogy and the story is pretty inextricably linked with my interest (it is worth mentioning to those who don't know that the original modules for that setting were part of that story: the novels and the setting were all pretty bound to together from the beginning). On Ravenloft I don't think of Strahd as the story of Ravenloft. Just my preference. He is part of Ravenloft's origin, but you can play Ravenloft with zero interactions with Dark Lords or with Strahd (and there are so many other domains players can explore). I did like the novels, but there wasn't one story binding the Ravenloft setting in those. Strahd is just the most well known because he appears in the original module and he does appear in a number of the books due to popularity. And to bridge the gap between these two settings, my favorite novel was Knight of the Black Rose (where Lord Soth was the protagonist and Strahd an antagonist). [/QUOTE]
