You are taken back into the year 1995! Maybe you are a time traveler? Maybe you are your past self for one summer. It doesn’t matter. What matters is
that WEEKS of summer vacation lie ahead of you and your friends ask you if you can launch a new #ADnD2E campaign. Which campaign set do you pick and why?
- #Planescape boxed set + Planes of Chaos
- #DarkSun boxed set + The Ivory Triangle
- #Ravenloft boxed set + Castles Forlorn
- #Forgottenrealms boxed set + Undermountain

@HeyeBodo Ravenloft because I like my Dark Lords tragic and cruel

@PenPaperDice so cruel! So tragic! I dig #Ravenloft because it really is its own thing. They advertised it as a gothic horror setting, but it really is swords against Stradh & co + a giant bat 🦇 behind every corner (and Frankenstein is also coming for dinner). Soaked in gothic trappings, for sure, but when you take a closer look, the PCs are so different from the brooding cast of gothic novels, who are constantly writing letters to each other

@HeyeBodo exactly and you can extend the Dark Domains to other Genres as well. I really like the concept of it and with Strahd it got a great opener.

There will be a time where I will run a campaign of Swords & Wizardry or something in Ravenloft. That and Dolmenwood are absurdly high on my campaign list for OSR
