From reading the thread, I see the Hags as Iconic of Horror, but the backstory does not have the detail that a proper darklord needs. Where is the act of Perdition? That horrific act in the past that has condemned them to their fate? That needs to be looked into. I like the three archetypes for the ...

I really don't see how to deal with sexuality without boring players not involved or going way beyond my comfort zone. There are more than enough tools in the horror toolbox to give players a good scare. The Van Richten's Guides illustrate this perfectly with unknown terrors stalking innocent villag...

I agree that the Dragonborn doesn't fit the idea of Ravenloft. But then again, if a player wants a one bad enough, the mists could scoop one up just as easily as any other character. But remind the player that villagers will think he's some kind of monster and will run from him and bar the doors and...

After Reading I Strahd, I figure him for a Warlord witht eh Vampire Lord template (perhaps souped up for Ravenloft and his Darklord status), and the death pact would be the addition of the Warlock template or MC into Warlock. I think Strahd should receive the full write up as a PC of the level they ...

To build on Irving's coments, I say that as the core starts to take shape, the details about individual domains could be worked out. It might be a simple matter for major domains, like Barovia, more complicated for other some lesser known domains. Likewise if we opt for clusters, let the clusters ta...

Irving: Where the new Demiplane of Dread ends up in the new cosmology is less important than the fact that we have this living tapestry of torment and terror. Whether the Shadowfell touches each Material plane, or is tucked away in the Astral realms or Elemental Chaos is something that can be debate...

WotC did a very poor job of converting from 2nd to 3rd. Living Death had to convert even though WotC had no intention of writing MotRD for D20 system, requiring the campaign co-ordinator to write the book herself or lose the campaign. I was supposed to judge Living Death at Winter Fantasy in 2001, b...

I don't know that excluding domains or dark lords is the way to approach this. I can see the core as a living tapestry of torment, reaching out and replicating lands like a giant lump of silly putty. Like silly putty, it is easily warped into suitable prisons for these beings after their act of perd...

This could be long. I have read all three threads and am ready to pontificate... First, we have to face the possibility that WotC may not plan on an official Ravenloft release until 2010 at the earliest, 2012 more likely, and maybe they may not get to it! It could get even stickier because of the de...

I've had a chance to download the article and look it over, and I like it. That said, I see it as a return tot eh roots of where Ravenloft started. It is my hope that they build on it, but I fear that if they hold to one setting a year, and they go for Greyhawk and/or Dragonlance to get money out of...
