Café de Nuit

Sorry it's taken me a bit to reply. To clear up what I think might be a miscommunication on my part, I'm not looking for a name for the PC circus, but for a "full name" to use for the Carnival to avoid confusion. I'd already discarded "Carnival l'Morai" as too loaded, and didn't ...

I'd considered that, but in my skim of lore it seemed like that name would have negative associations for the original performers. But it's probably what I'll default to if I can't come up with anything else.

Working on setting up a new campaign where the players are all members of a traveling circus. I've been trying to consistently use the word "circus" rather that "carnival" for the PC group, because they are eventually going to cross paths with Isolde and the Carnival at a few poi...

Urik balme is fate on spellcaster, hewould see the powers as powerfull spellcasters.

Given his history and his defection from the Kargat, is it farfetched to say that Urik might think Azalin is somehow behind it?

I didn't say that no examples of good tricksters existed, just that I saw Darkonos as closer to figures like Anansi, Eris, Coyote or Loki who were just as likely (or more likely, depending on which you're talking about) to do harmful or outright evil things as good. I didn't get around to developing...

I decided on Chaotic Neutral for a couple of reasons: - In the mythology of Darkon, the theft of life doesn't seem to be presented as a truly good act. It carries a connotation somewhat like original sin. Like, yes, good, now we have life, but the focus of the religion's philosophy is the notion tha...

I had to table it, but this is the pantheon I had put together for a campaign set to focus on post-Requiem Darkon, and some of the lore that was going to be used for each: The Stern Lady (Wee Jas, LN, Greyhawk) - It is she who presides over the rites which lay the dead to rest, and judges their wort...

A friend of mine recently got this game for me. It's a quirky farming and building management game a lot like Stardew Valley, only with more cannibalism and a lot more death. A lot of the gameplay focuses on building up the quality of your graveyard, which requires you to master technology trees suc...

Tread cautiously, guys. It's always bad news when the darklord contacts you...

I've a vague plan in mind to run a campaign during the Shrouded Years in Darkon, with the hopeful goal of running the players through the events of Death Undaunted. One thread I'm hoping to follow is having the players investigate the events that lead up to the Requiem based on the evidence left beh...

The Wicker Man (1973) has a great "something in this village is not right" storyline, and feels very atmospherically evocative of Mordent in particular. The Silent Hill film and the movie Deathwatch (2002) both have a very strong domain-esque feel, complete with potential darklords, curses...

You could always be mean and rule that darkvision pierces natural darkness, but that when using it instead of a light source darkness themed monsters like undead shadows and shadow-asps are invisible.

There is a fan-made adventure in the Library called The Wailing Sorrow that I think was set in Mordent. It's part one of an unfinished trilogy (I believe), but its got a lot of meat on it in terms of plot hooks that can be built upon to complete the story.

Yeah, yes and no. It's somewhat obscure. It's from a sci-fi film called The Blood of Heroes (aka Salute of the Jugger ), which is basically a post-apocalyptic sports movie. Jugger consists of two teams bashing the heck out of eachother with weapons while a runner from each one fights to control a do...

For some reason I can't shake the idea that, not only does Falkovnia have one hell of a jugger team, but that it's likely the domain's national sport.

(Played the traditional way, of course, impaling an actual dog's skull on a spike, and none of those nancy Mordentish rules about padding...)
