Café de Nuit

Brenda of the Crimson Blade likes sharp objects, in particular swords. Her favorite current implement of destruction is Troll-Cleaver, a massive blade that, combined with her specialization in battling with it, makes Brenda a deadly combatant. Brenda believes in a relentless and continual persecuti...

Brother Summer's name at birth was Kregash Garzalla, as for the first twelve years of his life he was raised by his mother’s people, the Orcs of the Blue Hills. In his twelfth year a party of adventurers destroyed his encampment, but, as Garzalla appeared nearly human, assumed he was a captive thra...

Rogold Gildenman is one of the Clerics of the High Faith in Osterton, three days journey to the north. The church has received numerous building donations over the years from the Weathermays of Mordent- shire, so when a plea for aid arrived from Lord Byron, head of that family, the Church was more ...

Now, for those of you who may be wondering who in Ravenloft the eponymous characters mentioned the simple answer is "Remember I10" (the more tricksy answer would be "Remember the original sequel") and since this is THE Ravenloft Forum one has good reason to believe that a democra...

I would be entirely remiss if one did not start this thread by posting a link to the website of the Artist from whom I commissioned this fine sequence of illustrations - Dan Hubsher has been an invaluable partner in this creative enterprise (not least because I can just about sketch a Stick Figure m...

My own preference is for a smaller Ravenloft - there are plenty of DnD Settings where EPIC is the order of the day, so why should there not be a setting tailor-made for something more intimate? I also tend to believe that Gothic Horror is better served by a setting that's small enough for there to b...

Something like that? Quite so - one imagines that, given the Weathermay's are mostly the only show in Mordent so far as home-grown noblesse d'epee are concerned the Viscount is mostly just "The Lord" these days and it amuses me to imagine visitors from a grander polity (perhaps from Darko...

Apropos of nothing, might one suggest making Lord Weathermay a viscount, rather than a full-blown Earl? (as an homage to Lord Godalming from DRACULA, which seems appropriate given Mordent's origin as a pastiche of the non-Transylvania bits of that page-turner); one tends to think making the Weatherm...

Thank You very kindly for the advice! (I shall fiddle about with the system and the images to make sure one can post them properly, then put them up this weekend).

Please allow me to apologise for popping in to add what may seem an entirely spurious question, but I was admiring the series of illustrations you had posted and wanted to ask your advice - may I please ask how one posts an image on this forum? (I have not posted here for some time, but recently com...

Currently, I'm working on the Tarot mini-supplement and a cluster gazetteer for the Amber Wastes, but I have no doubt that I'll get to the Shadowlands eventually. On a less scrambled note, may one please ask which Domains you intend to include in the Amber Wastes cluster? (given the nature of the l...

Hida Jiremi (should that be Hida-san or Jiremi-San?), if I might defend my suggestion that Forlorn might be included with the Shadowland Pale:- -: Firstly by including Forlorn with this cluster you would be providing PCs a venue for some straightforward, no-frills combat missions (given the Fairy Ta...

Hidajiremi (or should that be Hidaji Remi?), please allow me to add my voice to the choir of compliments in praise of your achievement - my admiration for your depiction of The Demiplane of Dread is unqualified and intense (for while I have the odd quibble, that only indicates that I CARE about the ...

Just popping in to leave my best wishes; stay well Nemesio!

Nova Vaasa (Banner of the Prince): A dark horseman, crowned and with lance couched upon a sable steed bestriding a golden field upon which four black horses salute the Lord of all their race, as well as the Human Master of their Homeland - in eternal memory of the Conqueror-King himself, for whethe...
