Re: Campaign starting ideas

There are three ways I have thought of that are slightly more unique, though a tad related to each other. *They all meet at a religious service. This can be anything from the fact they were all captured by an evil cult, or that they are all followers of Ezra who are at a local 5th day service. It do...

Re: PEACH Market! - post your conversions and homebrews here

I wonder if someone can help me with converting ravenloft to BRP, I love the system and the BRP rulebook has spells in it a plenty, plus call of cthulhu has the cthulhu spells that I should be able to adapt. the trick though is adapting a class based system to a classless system. I could try and wor...

Re: Ravenloft System Pros/Cons

Have you thought of using either BRP or savage worlds. BRP in particular seems to fit Ravenloft like a glove and it is what i plan to use when I run ravenloft eventually.

Re: Surreal / Psychological Horror

dementlieu is a pyschological horror land IMO, not sure if there are any specfic pyschological horror adventures. But I tend to eschew adventures for the most part sans to mine them for ideas.

Re: Guns?

I do not care for dnd on a mechanical level, so when I run ravenloft I tend to go to use BRP which fits ravenloft IMO much much better, I have thought of using savage worlds for ravenloft but I have yet to try it out. but anyways I use guns. I think that they fit ravenloft well, and I view them as a...

Re: Help for lull in story

Not familar with i-10, but if it it is a port town, perhaps they have to deal with pirates. You could also throw a noble at them and try have them use diplomacy to make sure that things stay smooth for them.

just two ideas I thought of off the top of my head.

Re: How do I roleplay a Hallowed Witch?

I think hala is supposed to be akin to wicca in the real world, could be wrong though. But Hala is one religion I just never got and always felt odd using, but tis just me maybe.

Re: Mapping Ravenloft [Split from: Drawing a Map]

I figure most of the Core would be mapped reasonly well, but some areas would not get much detail, ie tepest, forlorn, velechor and vebrek and simillar domains. Where as places like nova vaassa, dementlieu mordent, richemulet and borca would be far more detailed. As these lands are large, and econom...
