	The 5e version finally tones this down. All 1st level or higher spells that aren't cast as Rituals warrant a Powers Check, with Evocation and Necromancy spells imposing Disadvantage on the check. That's the downside. On the upside, that's the only hassle you have to deal with. The other major changes to spellcasting are that ritual spells can be performed by just about anyone, provided that they have a reference material for the ritual and can pass the Arcana skill check, and that spellcasters can also choose to "slow cast" their spells, deliberately lengthening them out and having to make the Arcana check in exchange for not having to spend the normal tally of [[Action Points\|Resolve Points]] - this version of the game uses a sort of [[mana]] system to cover spellcasting.

	The basic story is that, on "Gothic Earth", a malevolent and corrupting entity called the Red Death, hinted to be akin to the [[Dark Powers]] of Ravenloft (and confirmed by the creator and an early preview to be one exiled for breaking some rule the rest had), has been messing around and fouling up the world for centuries, trying to plunge it into eternal (spiritual) darkness. Your players are brave, bold Victorian souls who dare to seek out that which is going "bump" in the night.

	Unfortunately, the setting was released before it became trivial to research the 1890s online and was never very popular. Despite this, it did get both three adventures in [[Dungeon Magazine]], a few [[Dragon Magazine]] expansion articles, an RPGA Campaign (which, notably, has an actual ''conclusion'' to the setting), and ''two'' official [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] updates (the first from that RPGA campaign, and the second from [[White Wolf]] when they had the [[Ravenloft]] license). There's also a [[DM's Guild]] product updating the game to 5E, cleverly exploiting the fact it's officially part of Ravenloft instead of its own setting to bypass the setting restrictions on content for that scheme. Time will tell if it does any better in an era where primary sources are trivial to obtain as public domain e-books.

	Assertions that the gameline went under because questions of "Hey, want to play a [[Historical Fantasy]] version of [[Ravenloft]] where your players are even more screwed than usual?" resulted in DMs being driven off with barrages of stale snacks and empty Coke bottles have never been proven on /tg/.
