[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9375535, member: 85555"] The thing that got me into it was the novel Knight of the Black Rose (which came out almost a year after the black box I think). I had heard of Ravenloft before that, and I grew up loving classic horror, but for some reason I was put off from it that first year (to that point I was more of a Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance Fan). But Knight of the Black Rose was my bridge because I liked Lord Soth and the cover intrigued me (and I had just finished reading the second Dragonlance Trilogy). I don't know what it was but something about going on this journey with Soth, who I didn't imagine should get pushed around by a vampire, really sparked my interest. I read the book in a couple of days and rushed out to get the black box and feast of Goblyns, then picked up I6 and started getting every book they put out for Ravenloft as they came out. I was pretty hooked. I think I started out running one shots using scenarios like Bride of Mordenheim here, or bit son Feast of Goblyns there to get my feet wet before running a campaign and incorporating the Hyskosa Hexad into it.
