    Thanks for the update Ed, it's always nice to hear from you. On the
    subject of presenting BR material as "core" or "optional", how about the
    Shadow World material TSR had planned? Could the Shadow World be presented
    as a combination Birthright/Ravenloft product? Perhaps the Shadow World
    could be looked at as a parallel "continent" from the standard Ravenloft
    Domains of Dread. Everything else about your planned presentation could
    stay pretty much the same as intended. I'm not all that familiar with the
    Ravenloft setting, but I've seen a number of posts suggesting the SW and RL
    have similar "feels".

    The adventure that was planned could still start out and end in Cerilia,
    hopefully getting some Ravenloft players interested in the best world TSR
    has ever produced. Maybe the Shadow World part of Ravenloft is easier to
    get into and out of than the core RL domains, encouraging movement between
    Cerilia and the SW for RL players. For that matter, I'll bet they'd jump
    at the chance to play dark lord regents in the SW........

    This, of course, wouldn't be my first choice. The Shadow World would
    ideally be presented as a Birthright-only supplement. But if it's a choice
    between letting Ravenloft players in on the horrors of the Shadow World or
    not getting the information at all, I'd gladly share some of the darkness
    with them.

    Regards
    Craig

    I have Ravenloft, and it is much too serious for what I seem to have put
    together of the Shadowlands. -But- Ravenloft is a strange moving plane of
    existance, and has its own laws... In fact, it may and can appear at anytime
    anywhere, and its mists may grab adventurers or entire continents and send
    them to Ravenloft. It says that the mists are nothing more then that; mists.
    They project no aura or magic... I was thinking, that instead of having that,
    or in addition to it, there could be gaps in between the mist and the world
    they were residing in at that time, that were known as the Shadowlands.
    Connects Birthright with Ravenloft... what do you all think?
