[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9352324, member: 11760"] I also admire them for taking even a brief shot at looking at horror sub-genres and how to flesh them out. I think Ravenloft probably appeals to a lot of horror-curious folks who don't know all of this stuff backwards and forwards and by naming and describing "folk horror," "body horror" and the like, I think they give DMs the tools to figure out what they and their players are interested in and the vocabulary to research it further if they're interested. It's a good model. And yeah, the overall structure is pretty good. I know there are people who want Harn-level detail in their settings, but a few pages for the equivalent of a single county (or very small country) is plenty detailed for me and I'd love to see a similar approach taken to other settings. (I don't know if Radiant Citadel sold well enough to justify it, but a pure setting book on the Radiant Citadel and the Concord Worlds would be great, IMO.
