Trapped in another world, each area of the world is its own little plane of existence, ruled by the baron! Vampires, ghouls, zombies, wights, undeads, witches, curses and no way out - DUN DUN DUUUUUN

Ravenloft is a campaign setting made of lofts and ravens...well, ok, it's a D&D campaign setting that threw away the shiny high fantasy heroism cliches and largely substituted them with 19th century gothic novel material. Ravenloft itself is a demiplane, divided into several domains each ruled by a different lord, inspired by traditional horror tales. The first rule of Ravenloft is not to touch anything, ever. It will kill you, rape your corpse and use your soul for thong underwear.

Basically, every evil deed is punished by karma. This means that it's entirely possible to lie, cheat and steal your way into power, only to find yourself ironically cursed. Standard operating procedure is for you to be cursed to be alone or separated from one specific loved one - a wife, a son, etc. So, yeah. If you like Heathcliff, you'll love Ravenloft.
