![]() ![]() ![]() Heroic fantasy and horror are two opposite things. Ravenloft wants to be serious but it has elves, so….Īnyway, the fundamental problem with Ravenloft is that you can’t mix heroic fantasy and horror. It wants to be dark, scary, mature, and for others to take it seriously too. Well, for starters, irony and, also, a sense of humor. Why, then, did I always find Ravenloft to be an aberration? What does Ara Fell have that Ravenloft lacks? Ara Fell proves that, indeed, vampires and elves mix well together, but also that you have to be smart to do so. That’s been my opinion since I tried Ravenloft back in the 90s and again in the 3e conversion and finally, last year, with Curse of Strahd for 5e.īased on these shitty games, it’s easy to say that pointy ears and bloodsuckers don’t go well together.īut a few weeks ago, while searching for a traditional turn-based combat JRPG, I discovered Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition, a game that proved me otherwise.
