SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Gothic adventure recomendation that is'nt just a dungeon crawl?

Check out A Ghastly Affair RPG https://engineoforacles.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/ghastly-affair-the-gothic-game-of-romantic-horror/
And its Highdark Hall https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/254169/Highdark-Hall - more setting than adventure, but great stuff!

I second Ravenloft 2, though running it looks like quite a challenge being a Weiss/Hickman affair.

I've run Ravenloft 2 multiple times. It's involved, but it's cool with a lot to get involved with and non-linear.

By contrast, the 2nd edition Ravenloft modules like Feast of Goblyns seemed very scripted to me, though to be fair I haven't run them.

Also, the original Ravenloft module has some trappings of dungeon crawling, but it can be very dynamic in a non-dungeon-crawl-ish way even though it is set in a big gothic castle.
