Re: 5E Crime Drama Domain: New Aporia, City of Silver Dreams
A few weeks ago, I started this. I think I should probably finish it! Powers and Domain Inspector Grivas is precisely that, a detective - he prefers not to fight directly, knowing he is closer to being a mere mage with a focus in Divination more than anything else. He really doesn't need the raw pow...

Thank you very much!Tobias Blackburn wrote:The Nightmare Lands is one of my favourite domains, and I liked the new seed they planted by adding Caroline at the center of it.
Fantastic job expanding on it!

Re: 5E Crime Drama Domain: New Aporia, City of Silver Dreams
Thanks for the tips! Honestly, I had Disco Elysium i n mind, but that's a 1970s setting; probably a bit too advanced. Inspector Jan Grivas The greatest crime lord in a city infested with them is one who isn't aware of his status. If you asked Jan Grivas, he is the only sane man in a world gone mad, ...

Re: 5E Crime Drama Domain: New Aporia, City of Silver Dreams
Significant Sites New Aporia is a dense city - an extremely large city, to be certain, but even back before the Mists surrounded it and its vast lake and bay, Eridanos, one got the sense that the builders were running out of space, so they built up - and down. It's impossible to map every nook and ...

5E Crime Drama Domain: New Aporia, City of Silver Dreams
So, while I know reception to VGR is mixed here, I don't think anyone's upset with the existence of domain creation tools. And, I thought to myself: What would a full, inhabited domain based on occult investigation as a genre look like? I decided: Pretty much what would happen if the Yakuza series w...

Re: My 5e Fluff Update to the Nightmare Lands
COOL!!! I'm really into this as I am planning on featuring the Nightmare Court in my new campaign....they are "working" with the Fraternity of Shadows actually in my game. I'm going to give this a deep dive. Trying to figure out how to link the Court w/ the Fraternity's larger machination...

My 5e Fluff Update to the Nightmare Lands
I'll cut right to the chase: I, personally, like the VGR version of Ravenloft. It's an extreme change, but I on the whole enjoy it. If you don't like it, it's fine, but if nothing else, the book gave me some excellent guidance in designing a domain. So, I'm going to take the snippet of lore we got, ...

Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
Considering that I'm trying to turn Ravenloft into a real Material plane, since several years now, you will understand, Leliel how the fact it does not make sense it is a problem to me. More than true. There's a reason I contribute to the Reconciliation thread; I like the Material World interpretat...

Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
Calling him the Caller is stupid because a Gentleman Caller is an actual thing. It was what a man who visitors a lady’s boudoir in the middle of the night was known as. And being a sex demon, it made sense, was logical and added both flavour and mystery to the setting. Which is of course why the ne...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof
Honestly I don't see anything offensive with the Kaldresh concept of time. What the book offers is a glance in a different belief of how time is experienced by this tasque. If this is not diverse then what is? I don't have time to go line by line to explain exactly why it is that your post was comp...

Re: It is back!!! What we do know about VR Guide to Ravenlof
What bothers me is that everything is referred in comparison with CoS while ignoring that Vistani were more diversed in previous editions. Because they were based on actual Roma groups, made into a semi-human race. I'm serious, there's a Let's Read on RPGnet that points out the Kaldresh are literal...

Re: Reconciliation
Semi-Joking: Pre-5e I'Cath is the the setting of a penny dreadful in Paridon made by an HP Lovecraft stand-in who half-read the account of an escapee from the dream city's real world who was absolutely furious upon realizing how bad it is to live in I'Cath. It's always been The Matrix As Made By Wu ...

Re: Reconciliation
Then we keep right on going! ^_^ This thread is all about taking what we want from the 5e book and harmonizing it with the White Wolf material, using our own creativity. Such as what's happening in Borca, which is... nearly unchanged. Well, actually, there is a major change; Ivan's gone from being ...

Ooooh~ I loved pretty much every part of that. :D Thank you!

Re: Reconciliation
Maybe Dominic's pulled the biggest scam of his life and he is still around and is completely in charge, but gaslit Saidra so she thinks she's running the place from her 'party island' in Pernault Bay. :wink: Saidra could have murdered Dominic's previous wife and slithered into her position, then tr...
