Re: Ravenloft alternatives

A good alternative to Ravenloft would be Shadows of Esteren. :)

Re: Handling the Language Barrier

I seem to recall BRP and COC are not points-buy progression, but the GM could just unilaterally award the points when deserved. They are not point buy progression, they are skill use progression. Basically you mark down if you used a skill in a session, when the session is over. You roll a d100 and...

Re: Nova Vaasa Redux: The Criminal Rings

Re: Handling the Language Barrier

I prefer how BRP/CoC handels languages which is a skill ranged from 0% to 100%. It is important to note that in BRP that few people have 100% in their own language however if you know say 25% Vaasan in Vaasa then you won't be totally helpless. It won't be easy by any means but you will be able to ge...

Re: Thoughts on removing morality from my campaigns

You mean ravenloft without the dnd system, right? I do that myself, i use BRP instead of dnd. btw Human, I thought that gurps already did not have an alignment system? though considering I know little of gurps other then its crunch heavy I can not say for sure.

Re: Thoughts on removing morality from my campaigns

I am with HuManBing, in my own games I remove the alignment system and morality at least what can be detected IG. Do I still make it a part of the campaigns? yes, but there is no mechanics or IG power to go "this nobleman is evil" instead people have to figure it out on their own and truel...

Re: Magic: the Gathering's Ravenloft revealed: INNISTRAD

Latest block hasn't excited me like the innistrad block that got me into the game initially. Call me for Return to Stensia! I liked the last block but then I am an izzet fan, I love them but of course they fit my nature :P However Theros might be interesting, not sure what they will do with it. I w...

Re: Ravenloft changes help

Love this. Especially the Terg. Which ruleset do you use? I use BRP, Basic RolePlaying, for the rules for my games. BRP is famous for being the system that Call of Cthulhu uses. The animalistic darklord juxtaposed against humanity/civilization seems to be very closely related to the theme of Prince...

Re: Ravenloft changes help

To rename domains, I would think about what kinds of similarities to real-world cultures you are after for each domain. So for example, if Dementlieu is still going to be French-inspired in your campaign, and if the language spoken there is still going to be reminiscent of French, then I would give...

The other change is that it is a ...

Re: A successful invasion of Darkon?

Something Else to keep in mind is how would other realms react to the war? Dementlieu for instance has a strong hatred for Falkovina, so from the Darkonian perspective their could be a few men and women who decide to fight against Drakov on the Darkonian side. For drakov you have his relationship to...
