Stories have themes in many levels, and in game terms some are supported by the rules of a game, others by the setting’s lore and background.  Rules will help you tell certain types of story, but they won’t necessarily dictate the genre or the setting in which you tell them.  I am reasonably certain you could use most RPG rules systems to tell a story in just about any setting you want, provided the story focuses on activities that the rules are designed to facilitate.  I think this applies to most rules systems not just RPGs

Also, the new 5E Ravenloft works just fine for d&d.  If you like that sort of thing
