Café de Nuit

Has anyone noticed that the UK's Eurovision entry, Sam Ryder, looks remarkably like the illustration of Vlad Drakov from the Black Box? (I would post pictures on here, but I'm not sure how to do it...)

Thanks for all the responses on this - it has caused me to rethink my take on Verbrek and restore Alfred Timothy as the Domain's Darklord, but revise him so that his curse now reflects his crime... My main problem with Timothy as Darklord was that I didn't feel that his curse reflected his crime. He...

Which, upon further reflection, is pretty naff - hence the overwhelming response to this post. Obviously, this needs some more thought... I will not be defeated! From the ashes of canon and crappy first draft revised Verbrek will arise a new Verbrek... Hang on... New Verbrek? Hmmm, if Arkandale and ...

Before I start with this Dread Alternative, you will need a little background on my version of the Core, as it differs slightly from the norm... Whilst the lands and towns of Valachan exist in my Core, this isn't Valachan, but rather Blaustein as described in Darklords . The Darklord is Baron Johann...

Thanks Brother Sale, that's really helpful. I do still have my hardback of I,Strahd , so can check those pages for further info. The map for Curse of Strahd does place Berez a little south of Vallaki on the Luna River, so I'll probably use that location. I'll also have to check the VRG for Uselix, a...

As I am currently trying to map Barovia for my own campaign (which is post-Requiem) I have been looking to add all canon locations. The Mistipedia lists all the canon settlements, and I have town plans and locations for the village of Barovia, Vallaki, Krezk and the ruins of Berez. Obviously, I also...

It does depend on whether you consider the Scourge of Arak to be the slaying of all life on the surface or just the 'removal' of all life. Whilst Darklords does suggest that the City of the Dead was a result of the Scourge, my head-canon for this is that it just scoured the surface, so all life was ...

My singing will be awesome... or at least I'll think it's awesome. Of course, depending on the strength, I may not remember all the words. As for adding honey, one of my sons is a vegan, so I try to ensure that all my brews are vegan-friendly. But blackberries are also a possibility. I have found th...

Whilst I had considered cranberries as a possible addition, I'd not thought of using blueberries. As your picture does show, blueberry infused dark beer does have a pinkish tinge to it.

Hmmm, I think we might be on to something here...

Thanks Joel!

Thanks Dustbunny It does seem a bit weird that it's name has 'brau' is, which does suggest it's a beer. The description also leans towards it being a beer, rather than a wine, as wine doesn't tend to be described as bitter. I think I'll may still make an attempt at creating my own version of Meekulb...

Hi All As a gamer and amateur brewer, I do like to see if I can replicate "famous" beers from fictional sources. I have attempted an alcoholic version of Butterbeer from Harry Potter, which did come out reasonably well (although it needs tweaking) and my thoughts turned to the infamous bev...

I do not own any 3rd edition RL products, so I'm unfamiliar with 3rd edition Sithicus, so if I've duplicated something from there it was unintentional. The Shade stats I'm using are from 2E, so mainly utilising the Dragon article from #213, which I think is quite different from Inza's stats? I could...

Following on from my query regarding Tristessa and what warranted her Darklordship, I have given much thought to this Domain and present my revised version. Please note that as far as I am concerned, Tristessa was from the Drow Kingdom of Arak, as Shadow Fey as presented in the Shadow Rift accessory...

As my review and revision of the Core continues, I have reached Verbrek... I have reviewed the canon version of this domain, along with those revisions that people have put forward in QTR and on the forum, but Alfred Timothy as the Darklord just doesn't do it for me, nor reinstating Nathan Timothy. ...

My pleasure. I always thought one of the main purposes of the forum was to spitball ideas, so if I come up with something that inspires someone else, that's a win.
