Innsmouth doesnt need to be XX century. Maybe the dark lord is a cult-leader from XIX century (And choochoo would be only the "guest star" who appeared when was summoned. Let's remember this is not the original Innsmouth from the Earth but a "copy", like Barovia. There are other places from...

We can remember Ravenloft in 3e age by "Sword&Sorcery"(White Wolf's inprit). My doubts are about who will be the owner of new content, like new characters or creatures. My opinion is WotC is more focuse into publishing crunch and player options, and the lore, background or fluff to be created...

Hasbro would love D&D system allowed modern firearms with a right power balance because this could allow "collabs" or crossovers with no-fantasy franchises but the D&D classes weren't designed for encounters against gunslingers. Magic is more expensive but most of D&D adventures would be...

I imagine in the future three pillars of leveling-up. The first one would be the classic class levels. The second one would be "background levels", working like the surivor classes from Ravenloft 5e. Designed for a simple and faster creation in survival-horror games. The PC doesn't become more...

If the industrial revolution had started in D&D multiverse the main factories would be in the plane of mechanus. The handicap would be the transport of products toward far zones. Another possibility is that this technology has already been discovered but is relatively prohibitive due to patent...

And factions could use magic to summon new creatures with bulleproof traits.

That is the risk, the possible power-breaker combo by munchkins. Path of the bloodsucker and therian in the future? What is the difference between vrylokas (PC specie from 4e "Heroes of the Shadow" and dhampirs? * "Survivor" classes weren't designed for power balance but a faster creation and...

And what if any spellcaster or artificer created a motor or artificial muscles to reload crossbows? Usually we imagine PCs with guns shooting against animals, gladiators and some archer but nobody stops to think what happens when the campaing is about PCs from lower-tech-level civilitation...

It can be moral when is your no-profit game borrowing ideas from some forgotten work of public domain.

And we can't forget some factions don't want firearms can break the power balance: war deities, lord feys, giants, dragons, rival kings.. Some powers could sell relatively cheap "anti-ballistic magic defenses" not to earn money but to "sabotage" the fireams in the battlefield, avoiding these...

I knew Ravenloft as subfranchise has got a lot of potential brand power. * I had forgotten Dark Horse publishing has got some experience with the manga genre. * Off-topic: Doese anybody remember the "Misty", the female soft horror comic serie?

Plagiarism as crime is when you try to earn money. If you use AI for some homebrew idea, for example a PC specie inspired some famous IP you can publish it as amateur art or fan-fiction. When it is showed in the right way it is not plagiarism but homage. It may be plagiarism when you don't...

My fear is if firearms are added then players wouldn't want to play with barbarians, monks or other classes too focused into hand-to-hand combat. A possible solution could be to add bulletproof enemies what had to be killed "in the old way". Other point is when the enemies are the shooters and...

Both belongs to the trope of fallen hero.

Ravenloft can be very grimm or soft horror according DMs preferences. There is even space for the horror+dark comedy hybrid. Sometimes it's even more terrifying to mix it with cruel humor.
