The Ravenloft Guide to Transylvania
This is an extremely interesting and well-written book, a great addition to the Red Death series. Most of the historical information is actually quite acurate. Has anyone else read this book? How have you implimented it into your campaigns?

In running a Transylvania campaign, of course.
Well obviously.
But seriously, I was thinking along the lines of integrating characters from one series into another, or otherwise combining the genres. In your Transylvania campaign for example, did you have most of the action take place in Ravenloft or was it rooted in Eastern Europe? I can think of plenty of cool ways to mix up a campaign with the info in this book, and I was interested if anyone had actually done so.

My Transilvania adventures were supposed to take place on Gothic Earth, so no change here.
The book itself is pretty good, with all the maps and the npcs described. (Not as good as my good ol' Black Box, but still one of my favourite books of 2e.)
Now, apart from some minor thinkings, I've never used the Guide for anything else than planning Transylvania campaigns.
