[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9342920, member: 52734"] There's some of that in the original Ravenloft, but I've always sort of treated Ravenloft domains somewhat like Ground Hog days - the Dark Powers let the realm run for some time until the Darklord succumbs or comes close to overcoming the grave they've dug for themselves and ...then the realm resets back to day one (or to some certain point), forcing the Darklord to repeat all that came before only to fail once again at the very end and realize how much they've screwed up (and probably blame someone else for their failure) - only to have to repeat it yet another time, trying something just a little different this time around... As they say, insanity is doing the same exact thing every time and expecting different results. And in the case of the Darklords, they can't resist making the same exact mistakes that led to their fall and are too blind to see that by their very own hubris would [I]willfully[/I] make that same exact choice that would lead to their doom over and over again, no matter how they tried to approach the problem in the first place.
