Café de Nuit

Somewhere between 15 and 30 peasants per noble, depending on the quality of the field and the opulence of the noble's household during the Middle Ages. As climate and farming techniques changed (and court structures, for that matter), the number varied. In England according to the Domesday book, it...

What is/who are the Order of the Ebon Guardian?

First off, apologies for the delay.

Second, I wish to give Shadiir a little more stubstance, and also further explain the reasons why he would establish himself in the core sometime soon after this meeting, instead of remaining in his homecountry.

Should I just open a thread 'Shadiir's Letters'?

The two eldery academics exchange glances, then Lacomte replies, "Not at all--you are the soul of brevity and cogency, Brother Tuyuz. I wonder if Father Shadowcloak is fully serious about the implications of his recent research..." Seeing Tuyuz' confusion, he continues, "The Shadowcl...

"Esteemed Brother Armande Dupin," Lacomte says, and the gentleman indicated stands and offers his hand to Tuyuz, smiling faintly. "A pleasure, Brother Tuyuz," he says. "I confess, I have not made so deep a study of the queen of the sciences as to penetrate the depths of Fat...

The coolest, in my opinion, still is to bring in outlanders and have them treat the realm as any other, untill they find out something is terribly wrong after which both players and characters educate themselves in the ways of the world. But to be honest, I've no idea how to pull that off succesfull...

The Rajian cannot help but smile at Lacomte's first words. I must've made at least somewhat of an impression. Now only to find out if it's negative or not. He approaches the two and when asked for his insights he will make a small bow in the tradition of his homeland. "Doctor Tuyuz, currently p...

Shadiir will head into the garden with a borrowed umbrella and checks on his tent. Hailing from a land of the monsoon , he's pretty good with the tent-rain combination, and he's back in without getting too wet or muddy. In a lavatory nearby he cleans himself up a bit, then heads out into a vacant st...

Maybe treat the disorders as so called 'Character Traits', as seen in Unearthed Arcana (link: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/build ... Traits.htm ) if you think they should be incorporated ruleswise.

This gives the Orc and Pie adventure some spice as well :O

"Then what are you thoughts on the matter, Father, if I may be so bold?"

For this D&D Alumni, we wanted to take a look back at how Count Strahd von Zarovich, master of Ravenloft, compares from his 1st edition self to his most recent incarnation. D&D Alumni, 1st edition Strahd: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/alumni/20061027a EtCR Excerpt, Strahds latest ...

More 'mundane': Aranea? Barghest?

OOC: Figured as much, wish I had a shred of subtlety in me that I could consult in these matters. I guess shadiir's just the same blunt boor that his player is :/

I've played with the idea of making half-dread-elementals. I even considered submitting to QtR for a while, before I decided that half-elementals don't really belong in Ravenloft.

I could send you what I have, if you're interested.
