Arthaus is not a sub-imprint of White Wolf, they are an independent company with close family ties to White Wolf. Avador 17:33, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

  • There was a PC game released around 1995 or so called "The Stone Prophet" which was based on this (or at least, the packaging was plastered with the Ravenloft logo). I think it may have been a sequel to another game called "Strahd's Possession". Neither of these seem remarkable enough to earn their own writeups, but they may be worth a mention in the Ravenloft writeup if anyone actually knows anything about them. --202.63.63.149 05:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gothic and Goth

Please, do not confuse Gothic (especially Gothic novels) with Goth. Goth is a modern subculture, which Ravenloft is not based on. Ravenloft is based on Gothic novels. Kel-nage 22:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Powers speculation section?

I'm wondering if this section of the article should be included at all, or at least trimmed down. For an encyclopedic entry, there is more space devoted to speculative info than there is on actual facts.Bluebomber4evr 19:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I concur, and unless opposition is presented forthwith, I'll start pruning the section down. --Agamemnon2 10:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The article says that the Dark Powers are explained in more detail in the novels. Could someone elaborate? I'm curious.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 12:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

  • The only one I'm aware of is Lord of the Necropolis, which was declared non-canon by the editors of the line at TSR at the time. Bluebomber4evr (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

What does it say about them?--24.255.171.220 (talk) 14:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reviews of products?

Are reviews of Ravenloft products from websites such as RPGnet suitable as third-party sources?--Bluebomber4evr 00:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

What editorial control is exercised? If anyone can post, no. --Pak21 08:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
