I suppose I could take CoC rules and fit them to a more gothic horror campaign but I’ve always used D&D and Ravenloft first. I’ve even used CoC adventures for my Masque of the Red Death 3e game, until I realized how poorly written those rules were. I think in my perfect Ravenloft game, the heroes are set up to be victorious over the darklords, even if the setting seems to suggest otherwise. With CoC, it seemed the rules are set up for your PCs to ultimately fail and lose their minds (and that being part of the fun.)</blockquote>
