Well that would be mildly compatible with my vision of the Mountains of Madness, er Misery, being filled about their roots with antediluvian horrors of a aberration/Lovecraftean sort. Still members of a party determined to mechanically cut the lot of them down, rather than deigning to make a roleplaying gesture or two in recognition of the overwelming horror of it all, would be obliged to make sufficient horror and madness checks that they would not escape with their minds in tact. Nobody gets to cut down Cthulu and escape unscathed. Or is there a special Hollywood inspired surge to overcome horror and madness in 4e?

In issue 372 of the online Dragon magazine, there is a epic destiny to become a Darklord in Shadowfell. While I liked it myself, it is really dosen't say Ravenloft to me since it is not a punishment, if not desirable..

It was mentioned in one of the threads on the WOTC forums about campaign settings that Ravenloft has hook that some of the other old TSR settings did not have, so we might see more than Dragon articles in the future.
