Editing Die, Vecna, Die! (section)

==Reception==
As a crossover between ''[[Greyhawk]]'', ''[[Planescape]]'', and ''[[Ravenloft]]'' at once, ''DVD'' has attracted [[skub|the reasoned reception you can expect]] from all three fanbases.

''DVD'''s three-act structure is, at heart, a planar romp. ''Planescape'' fans were used to jarring shifts in theme between one setting and the next. As sold to ''Greyhawk'' and ''[[Ravenloft]]'' players, that tonal shift hurt their heads.

''Planescape'' fans for their part object that this dead guy from ''Greyhawk'' should best their Holy Mother, the Lady of Pain (''ora nobis!''). Although, Vecna ''is'' channelling a force similarly transcendent over the Great Wheel. Er. Maybe.

''Greyhawk''ers on rec.games.frp.dnd puzzled how to slot Vecna's new backstory with the lore of the Flanaess - Vecna should have grown up in a Flan-speaking area; but at this time (the Devastation / Colorless Fire) there was a vast ''Völkerwanderung'' from west to east, mostly Oerid in the region at hand.

''Ravenloft'' fans continued the [[rage]] they'd inherited from ''Vecna Lives!'' and ''Vecna Reborn'', that here was an outside character making a mockery of the gothic rules behind their beloved setting. [[Tracy Hickman]] must have been [[Lord_Soth|laughing his underwear off]]. Well at least now Vecna isn't their problem anymore.

''DVD'' currently (July 2020) enjoys 3.9/5 on GoodReads. They figure it was well written and fun to play. For all that the skeletal Medial Digit was well-applied to grognards' faces. The story is handled in a way that is believable and works, pressuring the party to work fast to save pretty much everything.
