Re: Stakin' Strahd

I literally DM'ed House of Strahd last night. They popped his contingency spell after being harried by him and his minions for hours. It was somewhat unsatisfying for them after one of the characters died to a Horrid Wilting an hour before and another had been turned to stone twice. House of Strahd ...

Requiem fix via house rules?

Sorry if this has been answered, I've searched for info on the subject but couldn't locate any. Has anyone made a "fix" to the Requiem box set? I'm sure most everyone knows there is a serious lack of balance (mummies and liches in particular) among other things that need to be addressed wi...

Re: What to do after NotWD

Hello and welcome to the forum! I'm starting up a new RL campaign as well with NotWD. There are a couple more published adventures set in Souragne (The Viper's Grasp from Children of the Night: Werebeasts and The Ritual Repeats from CotN: Vampires) that I will use as followups. From there I will hav...

Re: Examples of the Dark Powers being merciful?

The whole "I am the Land" thing might not just be Strahd. Maybe the darkklord being invested in their torment is part of what makes the prison to begin with. They are trapped *because* they care. In Neither Man Nor Beast, Markov also says "I am the land!" during the final battle.

Re: PC levels for Children of the Night: Werebeasts?

Aye, I noticed that as well. It's so strange do you think they forgot to add the levels on purpose or was the company trying something new by attempting to give DM's more freedom in a way?

PC levels for Children of the Night: Werebeasts?

Unless I'm somehow missing it, no character levels were listed in the adventures within this supplement? The back cover says "for all character levels" but surely a new group can't take these creatures?

How do you feel about adventures where the PC's must die?

I'm personally not a fan of them. I ran From the Shadows back when it first came out and there was such an uproar from my group..! The first character that fell to the Horseman's sickle was abandoned by the player, the character sheet torn in half. The next few were spared the latter fate but there ...

Ha, ha. That's wonderful that your group never stopped. What does your party face off against at high level?

At what level do your campaigns tend to end?

As various RL box sets/Rulebooks have stated, the setting really isn't one for high level campaigns as it's harder to harness that gothic horror feel when your PC's are extremely powerful. The highest level published adventures I've seen are Thoughts of Darkness (12-15) and short quest in Children o...

TSR catalog unused art

In the early '90's TSR would put a 10ish page catalog of their products in various box sets and I noticed that before they were released to the public, Thoughts of Darkness, Forbidden Lore and Castles Forlorn had different covers that weren't used. ToD had a great pic of Lyssa von Zarovich in a whit...

Are Anchorites considered specialty priests?

And is it possible to make a normal cleric of Ezra?
