![]() ![]() ![]() until Emrakul (basically Cthulhu and the like) invades the world and starts driving everyone, including the angels, crazy. Innistrad has at least one interesting twist on Gothic horror, and although it might sound that adding Lovecraft to Ravenloft (or to anything, these days) is not the most innovative thing in the world, I really like how Innistrad implements it basically, you got your Ravenloft / Hammer horror world with vampires, werewolves and all, where the church and peasants with pitchforks fight the evil powers. It doesn't describe many interesting factions or NPCs, Good and Evil are clearly present but the shades of gray come from the fact Evil has affect pretty much everyone. Mostly Ravenloft, some MtG lore, some Diablo, some Lovecraft, all Gothic fantasy. There is little to be said about the setting basically, it has werewolves, vampires, angels, demons, etc. The alternative - using this short PDFs as summaries of the MtG settings - seems to be a bad idea, specially for Innistrad, since most of it is homage to classic horror, with some cool variations but little that is really unique. Since most of the setting details can be found online, as the PDF itself points out, all this re-skinning seems to be a good use for Plane Shift books.
