I reckon it'll be ignored completely, to do otherwise wouldn't be 'PC friendly' 
I'm not so sure about that. I think the overall concept will be maintained, but it may be weakened somewhat to make it more "PC friendly" -- allowing players plenty of opportunity to interact with this part of the core D&D world. |

With them having pulled back the license and the simple fact it was one of the only settings that was published in 3E, I think it's safe to assume we'll see Ravenloft after Eber-whatsit. Dark Sun is another likely possibility, since they're redoing one of the novel series for that setting (perhaps as a way of testing the waters). Greyhawk is another possibility, but I'd not put money on that one.
Actually, according to "Digital Insider #6," we've learned that RAVENLOFT will likely be established using the 4e D&D rules set in this month's issue of DRAGON. From what we've been told, it won't be a separate campaign setting but, rather, something that will be "folded into the core [story]." I'm assuming this means that it'll be completely canonical according to D&D 4e.
Oh, goodie. Ravenloft. AND 4th Edition. Let's just fill it with those super-special Tiefling Warlocks Toril is now filled with, make them vampires, and including in their starting gear a copy of Twilight.
Sounds like an evening! :)
It feels as if no good can come from this. I like Ravenloft, but a 4e Ravenloft seems...I dunno.
Edit: I just realized what an old thread this is. Oopsie! ^^; |

Well from what WotC just released earlier this week (or the one before) Dark Sun will be the campaign setting for 2010. Having hated 2E rules, I've no idea what this setting is about aside from the fact that there are supposedly no Gods. Interesting to see how they work in all of those Divine power-based classes into the setting.
As for Ravenloft, well we'll see what happens. I believe that Dragon Lance will get the "Go Ahead" as the 2011 campaign setting but maybe the year after?

Well aren't you just full of joy and cheer....
Yea, WotC should just let Ravenloft stay dead and work on a new setting. That way, it may lessen the ceaseless whining they hear about every undertaking they take to revitalize older, less known settings that haven't been around since the early 90's just to appease the "older" generation of D&D players who already don't like the new system and are no longer customers anyway.
Hey, at least WotC might regain some dignity that way.

| I feel Ravenloft should have a series of Dragon/Dungeon articles instead of a full-blown campaign setting book run. But who knows, at around year 7-10 of 4e, it may make the cut. |

| I always had a bit of trouble with Ravenloft as a campaign setting. Some of the adventures were great, but I always thought they were better fitted into other settings than they were in Ravenlofts loose collections of lands. |
