Kartakass, Gezundheit!

A cat -- now that was unusual. From what the two elves had seen so far, Kartakass was a land of rolling hills and steep, deep, dark valleys of streams (which Pietro explained flowed out of the Musarde River to the north, eventually pooling into small lakes), lushly forested with deciduous trees. In ...

A Spoonful of Sugar; or, Were-Ratatouille

I'm sorry to hear about your OOC difficulties; please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Meanwhile, perhaps I can cheer you up by posting a list of some of the loot reputed to be in <i>le Metro d' Mortigny</i> (the underground/Catacombs). * <i>Armure à l'épreuve des flèches</i> (&quo...

What sort of game are you looking for? What sort of adventures do you enjoy, what sort of character/s/ do you prefer to play, what is your usual style of play?

Charn (was: Suggestion

John, when you have time, how about a basic writeup of Charn as per the entries for domains in the 3.5 Ravenloft PHB? That would give us all a little something to go on without any spoilers. Charn is an Island of Terror about 30 miles across, and I don't think many characters in Ravenloft would kno...

Has anyone yet done any scenarios involving the Cruel Panoply's armor? Or anything else in which her existence (albeit as part of a falste history) is relevant? I'm thinking of sending my players on a /w/i/l/d/ /g/o/o/s/e/ /c/h/a/s/e/ quest for her armor.

"Shadows of Ravenloft" Languages and Locations

First, I apologize for any confusion here: Sithican and Sildeyuir are both dialects of Elvish, so Pietro and Firion (and Imai) can understand each other; and it's difficult. I think Sammy has explained it excellently. Imagine a Cornishman trying to talk with a London cockney or someone from the Amer...

1. Crimson King, maybe you should open an OOC thread and perhaps a thread for the players to post their pc's, including pics ;) Done! This is now the OOC thread, and I've started an IC thread. 2. Upcoming plotlines (not necessarily in order): * The Abyss Gazes Also * The Corruption Within * Pawns of...

"Shadows of Ravenloft" IC

Victor Stark trudged through the cobblestoned streets of Mortigny; his heavy boots splashed in the filthy slush and the sounds echoed off the almost-deserted buildings. Alongside him, Morrwen and Petricia moved quietly, almost gliding over the frozen surface of the slush, while a hooded figure march...

Re: "Shadows of Ravenloft" Startup

For the record, Victor does not consider himself the King's pawn, or even his servant. He simply made a working arrangment in the hopes that it would get him the hell out of the King's domain! I know the King thinks otherwise. No doubt! And "pawns" is simply an affectionate nickname that ...

Where is Everybody? And What Did They Say??

1. That's a beautiful post about Imai and Firion! (100 XP) 2. If I understand correctly, according to FoS canon, today's date is Monday, January 12, 761 Barovian Calendar. 3. Of course we could get all cliche' and say that your characters all meet in a tavern -- probably the Cafe' du Nuit in Richemu...
