Editing Ravenloft Campaign (section)

==Real-Life History==
The original Ravenloft module was written sometime in the late 70's and early 80's by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Hickman Tracy Hickman], who submitted it to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR%2C_Inc. TSR] as an example of his design while attempting to get a job there.    It was eventually published in 1983 and was extremely successful.  It inspired a sequel module in 1986 (Tracy Hickman's last module before he left TSR), a choose-your-own-adventure style book in the 80's and a boxed-set campaign setting in 1990.  TSR published three editions of the setting for AD&D 2nd Edition, and after TSR's acquisition by Wizards of the Coast, Ravenloft was licensed out to White Wolf, who published two editions for D&D 3rd Edition.  Then Wizard's ended the license, publishing another revision of the original module and are now once again publishing Ravenloft novels.
