Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgsugden" data-source="post: 8209527" data-attributes="member: 2629">I have my own version of the Ravenloft concept.  The current evolution has these "Demi-planes" existing within the Shadowfell. The Shadowfell is a reflective plane and reflects what happens in the Prime.  When there is something truly horrific on the Prime, that Shadowfell reflection takes on a life of its own and the Shadowfell isolates it with the mists to prevent it from spreading throughout the plane.  That reflection that took on a life of its own might be a creature, an object or a location - but the reflection will always be intelligent, evil and obsessed with something.Often, the manifestation is a copy of a very evil being, but it might also end up being the "evil twin" of a good being, an intelligent version of an item at the center of a horrible event, or an intelligent version of the location of the event.  There a few of these Demiplanes that are highly inspired by the 2E boxed set, but most of them are unique to events that took place in my campaign setting.  PCs have rarely ventured there in years past (before I refined the concept to have the Demiplanes in the Shadowfell), but I've used it to allow PCs to revisit a horrific event from the past without using Time Travel, such as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow PCs to witness the Tragedy of Vecna and Kos.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow them to see how a great Catacalysm was caused in the holiest of cities.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Allow them to observe the death of a God and the destruction of his life force.</li> </ul>Technically, I have a Barovia clone in the game, but it has never been visited, and I don't have any plans that I feel would draw PCs there.</blockquote>
