Café de Nuit

The boxed set The Nightmare Lands has stats for the Nightmare Man, but it doesn't have any all-telling backstory for this entity, letting him remain mysterious. He seems to be cursed to participate in dreams as a meddler from afar or an observer. The Nightmare Man apparently doesn't dream, and he la...

Okay, here's some stats for that corrupted lightning quasi-elemental. It uses base stats from the Creature Catalog and the Corrupted Elemental template from John Mangrum's "New Ravenloft Monsters" as well as his writeup of Kemmler in the Book of Souls. I'll post some stats for William Kemm...

Right. Rather than just a run-of-the-mill lightning elemental, make it more "evil" like the Ravenloft (Dread, sorry) elementals. Come to think of it, the Corrupted Elemental template from John Mangrum's article on New Ravenloft Monsters in the netbook section might be the perfect thing to...

Identity- might be good inspiration for Davion.

Apparently there's a character sheet on the Living Death website.

A thread for locations on Gothic Earth to be described, as per Lady Ligeia's idea.

What ideas does everybody have?

I think a lot of these places could be linked as realms in a larger demiplane, like a Plane of Dreams or a Plane of Faerie. I think the Shadow Plane idea from d20 Modern's Urban Arcana might be a good idea. If you're going to use any sort of Asian influence, I think the Chinese 10 Courts of Hell mig...

These are some good ideas. There's needs to be more ideas like #2, free of Red Death influence or great, dark conspiracies. Idea #1 is somewhat similar to the writeup of William Kemmler in the Book of Souls (pg. 151-152) That article had the man animate a revenant bent on killing Thomas Edison for &...

Hmm... All of this talk of memories makes me wonder- can Azalin restore memories that have been lost via "natural" ways, ie amnesia brought on by brain trauma or emotional torment. It would make for a particularly adventure if some amnesiac heroes had to go to the King of Darkon to have th...

Hmm, since he sacrificed one of her chosen and her unborn child and since Lathandar is a god of birth, some sort of morbid birth-related curse might be appropriate. Perhaps once per whatever, he is forced to give birth to a Death's Head and filled with wracking pains, reflecting his dark nature. Mos...

Once, a mob killed Gundar’s tax collector and stormed castle Hunadora. However, this night, all rebels were killed and their corpse suspended to orchard trees near the castle. The blood of the rebels and the tainted emotions of their desperation could have seeped into the soil that feeds the orchar...

This Blackmoor is unique in that it is both old and new, from what I understand. Apparently it is the Blackmoor of Dave Arneson, based on his own original designs of Blackmoor as its own seperate setting. He apparently had created this world years ago around the time (or before?) original D&D. F...

I got the d20 book Blackmoor, and it seems to have some real character that gives it a different feeling from a lot of the "newer" campaign setting. I particularly like the characters and class sections of the book. The Wizard's Cabal, being a LN, controlling organization, can give multipl...

How dark was it compared to the original version? From what I remember, the original movie was fairly morbid. I like Family Guy's take on Willie Wonka (they replayed on Tuesday on Cartoon Network IIRC). Instead of Willie Wonka and a chocolate factory, they had Pawtucket Pat and a brewery. "Take...

Could S have been Ratik's killer? What about one of Azalin's secret police?
