Café de Nuit

What is the opposite of Dread? Dictionary says; hope, welcome. Hmnn, I think it's more than that. Especially referring to Ravenloft.

That question could come up with several plot ideas just by itself.

I've wanted to do a Vistani tribe that concentrated on the waterways of Ravenloft for some time now. I had thought that a completely separate tribe might be better suited, possibly of Kaldresh tasque, than using one already known. VR counted 7 in his guide, but in the beginning of the description of...

Blackwater Invocation is a feat appearing in Stormwrack that channels negative energy to create a radius of terribly cold black water, as would be at a great depth. Making it involuntary would chill up any water you happened to enter, damaging anyone around you. The bearer would be bringing the &quo...

I fully agree.
I also would accept a continuation of this list, until we had 100 possibilities and compile that into an article.

Getting the Cold One feat added to your character is one of my favorites. Also an Involuntary Blackwater Invocation feat.

Soot, Rime, Ember, Quicksand. Just throwing out some possibilities.

Some wonderfully unsettling bits in these books.

Sorry, I was a bit muddled on my American Gothic post.
Gary Cole was indeed the sheriff. Shaun Cassidy was the series creator.

I had always thought American Gothic was a modern-day Ravenloft setting. While I don't know for certain if Shawn Cassidy had ever played, I would not have been surprised to learn it after watching. Depraved sherriff with complete power, partially supernatural, over his county, opposed by some do-goo...

Closest I've come was one player brought in a Chirugeon named Richard Kimble, who was looking for a one-armed troll that had killed his wife. He thought it was clever. :roll: Player showed up thru the mists, and after a couple sessions, found that people were following and spying on him, and eventua...

An Ooze or Pudding walking as a person? Several of them, walking as almost recognizable people and some natural animals, coming thru the pass towards the party. Blackened, or perhaps brightly colored creatures, red, yellow, green or some combination. Players expect what oozes act like, but if you ch...

Starting with a Will-o-the-wisp leading the party to a cliff, they easily are able to keep from it leading them to a falling death. Of course, it was leading them to an area where now the zombies are coming in front, and the cliff is behind, and there is nowhere to go. Throw in a swarm of screeching...

To put a spin on the inability to hide- how about not wanting to? What if the Twisting gave him the ability to sense when he is needed or being looked for- so that he then appears? Quite paternal if you think about it, but definitely not incredibly powerful. You could even make it subconscious, with...

USS 2002, Brotherhood of Contemplative Power. Upon rereading, ugh. I'd change many things. I can see reasons as why it would not have been accepted in any of the BOS. Although, I feel much of the dichotomy that should be present (extremes on both ends)in most RL material is absent in many works; the...

Just joined up again after a looong hiatus. I know I had something accepted in one of the netbooks, but I no longer have any memory of where it is. Basically a psionics in RL- connection to Bluetspur, and an invented background for the Thoughts of Darkness adventure, with a connection to the Apparat...
