I think a lot of us are working off what we vaguely remember from playing at the time, what we have heard over the years, etc. Knight of the Black Rose had a massive influence on me as a reader and a gamer (I wouldn't have done a deep dive into Gothic fiction in high school if I hadn't encountered Knight of the Black Rose and then gone on to read the Ravenloft Black box. I still think the black box is one of the most beautifully put together and written boxed sets ever. And I always felt you made Soth fit in perfectly with Ravenloft. I can't thank you and Bruce Nesmith, Andria Hayday and Bill Connors enough for radically influencing my tastes in literature, game books, settings, etc. Before I read Knights of the Black Rose, I was into bog standard fantasy. Went on a completely different course after that. And Knight of the Black Rose in particular helped me get over some serious reading issues with Dyslexia (I wasn't really reading books cover to cover until I read Knight of the Black Rose, and that gave me the confidence to read the Black Box cover to cover). I still consider it the first proper book I read from beginning to end.</p></blockquote><p></p>
