Café de Nuit

I've just finished reading Carnival of Fear (as well as Hermos entry and p. 40 of Carnival Supplement and Hermos entry in Champion of the Mist) and it seems that l'Morai was a city in some unnamed Prime as both Carnival and Champion states that Hermos lead the Freaks away from L'Morai and into the m...

[snip] 3. What should be the proper punishment(legally speaking, in front of a judge) for a necromancer caught on casting a necromantic spell? and when this "necromantic spell" can be considered clearly necromantic? ofc if he raise dead it will be clear, but what if he just land a curse, ...

Sounds cool. The Twin Cataclysms occurred in the fifth century before the Common Year. About nine hundred years before the period presented in the World of Greyhawk boxed set. Has time passed at the same rate in this domain as in Oerth? That is, have nine centuries of subjective time gone by inside...

Not bad but points of clarity: 1. How does the lord close the borders? Excellents questions: At the Piazza, Darkanth suggested "A horde of ghostly Duergar that can't be killed and force you back into the realm" . and I really liked the idea. Fits the theme and would redirect suspicious to...

Here is what I've been percolating over the week: Mjothvitnir is the first born son of the last king. From a very young age he knew he'd be the next in line. Growing up, he always had that air of entitlement and arrogance, reacting harshly to any criticism from those he felt were beneath him...which...

I really like the ideas that are being bounced here and there in this thread. I especially like the Idea of the Korpu cryatal mummy. If you want to go with a more king Kong feel to it. Not that you should, but may I recommanded Isle of the Ape It's a first ed adventure, but I'm sure you could harves...

Merci beaucoup, c,est toujours une heureuse surprise d'avoir une réponse en français.

Indeed I went ahead and already have help with some of the conversion to other system (5th ed for now, but there's plenty more to choose) as well as trying to refine the Lord's Curse.

That's called Mondays it happens to the best of us.

Nope, I've never heard of the Shaver Mysteries before now.

Truth be told, I'm mostly basing myself on AD&D 1st and 2nd edition material about Derro.

The rant was about how poorly designed the Derro weapons were, as it was pretty much a direct translation of 1st ed weapon with a rule-system that takes away some of their effectivement.

At first glance that looks like a pretty nice racial write up with the right fell for the Derro.

Thank you.

First thing I need to know, for the trio, are you intending to write them PC style or Monster style? 5e goes back to the AD&D paradigm where monsters and PCs operate on different rules. Good question. I've written them up as PCs for 2nd edition (powerful PC, but PCs non the less), so a PC style...

Thank you guys. I like the idea, of not being able to directly control mountain dwarves, but having power on the Derro/Duergar. Might explain why he's still keeping hill dwarves, gnome and halfling around. And I like the idea, of the lack of respect, especially if I go the bastard route, that would ...

In the Ravenloft subforum on the Piazza, I have my Dwarven Domain that I am building and I would like to solicitate your help with some conversions from AD&D 2nd Edition to [System X] The character to convert would be a: - Mountain Dwarf Fighter (12th level); - Duergar Specialty Priest/Psionic o...

Good Day, I'm currently working on a new Ravenloft Domain and I looking for help with figuring out the Curse that the domain is Levying on the Dark Lord. [Incidently I would like to steer clear of the Undead/Werecreature Lord route if at all possible] Origin of the domain: Greyhawk (shortly before t...

Good Day, My name is Andre (But go in pretty much every forum as Boneguard...long story). I've been playing AD&D for longer than I care to admit and Ravenloft was always one fo my favorite setting (although I never got ot play in it as much as I would have liked). What brings my here, is a littl...
