Re: Doppelganger vs. Lycanthropy
Thank you all for your feedback. The adventure hook is developing in a different direction, but this was helpful to get my juices flowing.

Re: Doppelganger vs. Lycanthropy
Well, regardless of whether it's a doppelganger, the adventure requires that someone have lycanthropy forced on them who didn't have it previously.Igor the Henchman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 4:36 pm If you want a shapechanging werewolf, why not simply use a wolfwere?

Re: Doppelganger vs. Lycanthropy
Okay, so I guess my question is, what makes a doppelganger immune to lycanthropy? I browsed the Dopp netbook and the Zherisia gaz and haven't seen an explanation.

Doppelganger vs. Lycanthropy
I'm teasing an adventure idea, and it hinges on this question: what would happen to a doppelganger who drank an alchemical purgative that contained a curse of lycanthropy?
Obviously dopps are normally immune, but would they be immune via purgative as well? What are your thoughts?

Re: The Winter Guardian
Dusting this off for the backstory of my son's PC. It'll be interesting to see if he meets the Guardian in the Feywild.

Re: If you were to do a Children of the Night: Liches
I notice that there's no mention of a demilich in all this jazz - sorry, I don't have 5e yet, so I dunno, are demiliches not a thing in the new D&D? Or perhaps not Ravenlofty enough? I mentioned a demilich. I think there's certainly a line to walk between the "beyond lich" version and...

Re: The mysterious El-Koth of Hazlan
In the Dominia article, I had a member of Ward Zero who was driven mad by the El Koth Lodestone, and I planned to have some drug interactions that would enhance the spellcasting powers that resulted. It's not hard to see a cult growing around the stone itself, forcing people to touch the stone and t...

Re: Ze QtR 27 review thread
I really loved the operas, really adds more life to the land of mists. As for the Dominia article, anyone think the psychic conduit in room 319 connects to Nosos? Cause it "releases rats and belches noxious fumes" which fits the 2e description of Nosos. Wait, did it not say exactly where ...

Re: Quoth the Raven #27 - submissions open
Deepshadow has 95 % finished Dominia, but we could indeed have a near finished version for people to react to. What do you think Ron, Nathan and Deepshadow? I would love for that to happen, if Deepshadow is willing. I just don't know if there's enough time to button it all up for this year. I'm game!

Re: Forget Moreau, was it THIS guy who really inspired Marko
Background checks out. If this isn't the inspiration for Markov, then this goes down as one of the most bizarre coincidences that I've heard of, and I know some doozys.

Feats of Engineering: Steer the Vuchar around Il Aluk
My campaign takes place several years after the Gaz's, so I'm always looking for ways the world had moved on. Since we steered into Darkon, I've been wondering about the prospect of a great engineering project to redirect the Vuchar River so that it doesn't flow through Il Aluk. This would be a huge...

Re: If you were to do a Children of the Night: Liches
Having gotten so much mileage out of "Yakov Ormoff," I'd love to see him in a compendium, along with Nightblood, whose return was the center of a campaign that never took off the ground. I agree with many of the others I'm hearing about here. Here's my personal picks: 1) Nightblood (lich-a...

Re: doman idea: horrer of being alone, the danger of fantasy
Another spin you could take on this would be to base it on Edward Hale's The Man Without a Country . The character Philip Nolan basically says in court that he wishes he'd never heard of the United States, and is sentenced to life as a prisoner on a series of naval vessels, never setting foot on lan...

Re: doman idea: horrer of being alone, the danger of fantasy
What did the darklord do to deserve such a curse? Every domain is a reflection of its darklord, after all. i was thinking a betrayer, manipulator, selfish fellow. using others i think the last thing he said "i don't need you or anyone!" befor the mists came. i think alot of the horror com...

Re: Darkon (The Land of Wonders and Tyranny)
Official Name : The Darkonese Egemony Egemony? is this like hegemony? It's an interesting take, but I fear that you're sacrificing the original word by giving it a new definition. Regardless of the size and power of a hegemony, that should never be the name of the nation or the word loses all meani...
