I have a little more than a month for preparing a one-shot RPG adventure for a new year's eve with friends. We've all played D&D before, but this time the idea is to play something different than classic fantasy. Everything is still open at the moment, and I have a thread where I asked where to find short adventures of any genres to read and choose from.
In the meantime, I also thought that some D&D adventures or setting deviate enough from the classic, and Ravenloft could be in fact suitable to get far enough from the usual orcs and dragons and evil wizards, and be run with more emphasis on gothic mystery and less combat (if at all).
But can the main story somehow be unfold and told in a single evening? Can you turn Ravenloft into a one-shot adventure, starting from getting trapped in it, discovering the plot behind, and trying to flee?
