Again, not caring. I'll worry about that when we're discussing Micah Sweet's Eve of Ruin. Someone asked who was an archmage in Ravenloft and I have the current state of high level magic users in Ravenloft from the latest source. You're inability to accept that as a canonical source is your problem.
VGR fixed a lot of mistakes made in the Black Box, and since it is a constantly changing dreamscape, it's lore is that the lore is constantly changing.
Strong disagree about the value of VRG as a Ravenloft product; my published remarks are quite clear on this. As a treatise on horror in D&D I admit it has merit. I don't see anything claiming that Ravenloft is a "constantly-changing dreamscape" where nothing really matters historically, outside VRG, and indeed the vast majority of existing Ravenloft material speaks against that. This seems more like post-hoc justification of your personal preference, which happens to be in ascendancy at the moment. In short, it reads as gloating.
I love it when people go IYKYK with the most obvious and widespread stuff ever.
Well, they fired Mike Mearls, which from the Manganiello video was not a good idea. Interesting.
I don't think they would try to squeeze the main story in one module though...
