For things hidden, what about a Races of the Mists: Kobolds/Goblins? Fleshing out the kobolds without many dragons to serve, and their unique status in Falkovnia could prove to be a fun exercise. And they like the goblins like the dark, hidden places of the world.

I've been considering if I should do a follow-up to my previous articles, examining incorporating Ghostfire Gaming's Artificer subclasses (the Machine Cultist, guided by an alien artificial intelligence that may exist outside of space/time/reality, and the Reanimator) into Ravenloft.

Dungeons of Drakkenheim, a Dark Fantasy sandbox setting based on Mordheim, might also have potential place in the mist... at the very least, some of its crunchy content from the player's guide, such as its Apothecary class, might be worth looking at.

I'd like to do an article talking about the possibilities of including nonhuman PC races in Dark Fantasy as a whole and Ravenloft in particular, but I have no idea where to begin work on that.

Planegea, a Sword & Sorcery meets Stone Age setting for 5e with a lot of horror and dark fantasy vibes, could be interesting to discuss to flesh out Stone Age domains of dread... but I just don't have the inspiration for that.

Those sound amazing, Mephisto! I look forward to reading them when they're released with everything else! Are you taking a break from Falkovnia Files/Ministry of Science this year?

As I have updated Post-Apocaloft with this,

Codename Requiem -The Strange Fate of Gunnison, Colorado 2004 (Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem)

Should I submit the new material for the new netbook?

I call shenanigans! Based off his productivity Ian is clearly just a pen name for a hive of doppelgangers pumping out propaganda for their own nefarious purposes. Stop them before they take over the entire demiplane!

70 domains? That sounds promising. Thanks to everyone that contributes.
