Re: Malocchio attacks Soth

As someone who has read many, many Dragonlance books, I can not remember a single direct fight that Soth lost once he became a Death Knight.

He's like Darth Vader in Rogue One, you run or you die.

Re: Why Spectre of the Black Rose makes no sense

That's exactly what I am asking... Azrael's behavior really doesn't make sense. I suppose one could always say he was just insane, though. Coming to it, I have just talked to James Lowder last week about my disapointment from this book, and he told me he had plans to write a third book - Wake of th...

Re: What if Jacqueline found returned love?

The tragedy is not that she killed her grandfather to steal his place. The tragedy is that she can't find love. She would never abdicate, cause she's not a woman that made hard choices but is redeemable. She's an evil, tyrannical, powerhungry monster that was cursed to be able to feel real love. Ja...

Re: What if Inza killed Azreal and took over Sithicus

Why, didn't Inza actually became the Darklord after Soth became too boring for the DP? The DPs love irony! :D They exchanged a cool DL for a boring one. I am trying to make her not so boring With the extra irony being the reason they made the exchange was the cool one was behaving in a boring manne...

Re: Disney inspired domains(Warning 56 possible movie spoil

Alice in Wonderland works better as a particular dream seed in the nightmare lands, the dream seed feeding Morpheus. I was/have been writing a shortish piece about it with the basic idea being a young rich girl's from Dementlieu has her new kitten started feeling sick/started behaving in ways that n...

Re: Lazendrak, the land of Blood and Honey

The more I read you the more I'm convinced you are right; Maybe, I could change it from real blood to blood red water, to keep the scenographic effect; Or maybe, the blood from the lake can placate the thirst, avoiding the risk, for a vampire, to go in a rampage, but they still need blood from neck...

Re: Lazendrak, the land of Blood and Honey

I could either ignore or make an exception to the "only living sentient beings blood" rule for ravenloft vampire, maybe thanks the perduring blessing of the Blood Mother, which is still there because it plays in the hand of the Dark Powers, and I actually find that the idea of the blood r...

Re: Lazendrak, the land of Blood and Honey

Have you considered that instead of naturally occurring lakes/rivers of blood, and blood that somehow qualifies as fresh sentient blood which is the type required by vampires in Ravenloft, instead have the people of Lazendrak be suffering from some form of mysterious disease that causes people who a...

Re: Timor Question: What About Batman?

Also... when you think about it, really, Batman's an incredibly inefficient superhero. It's okay that he wants to focus on street crime, but he's a multi-billionaire in a world of proven supertech; you'd think he'd get himself a suit of exoarmor so that he could more effectively take down his foes ...

Hi guys, I hope I'm posting this in the correct space (I don't normally use forums, but I'm learning to enjoy them).

Re: Werebeast pc?

Thank you both! In your opinion what could be a good background/story for a lycantrophe? (this question is mostly for myself, I always wanted to play one, but I hardly find any good plot...) I'll step up to the plate and suggest the one that I use for a natural lycanthrope fit to be a PC. Everyone ...

Re: What if Louise Renier became a darklord

Most likely by successfully assassinating her sister. What would be her curse/powers? My likely guess IMO is that even through her successful assassination of her sister she still winds up being in her shadow. Behind closed doors muttering about how much better it was when her sister ran things. Ea...

Re: Being Hunted

Dark of the moon takes place in Vorostokov and wolves/werewolves feature prominently. There is even a scene where there he players get stripped of their gear and told to run being given an hour or so head start before the werewolves chase after them.

Is that the sort of thing you are looking for?
