Café de Nuit

20 Vampire (Nosferatu subtype) (3 points). Classic villain that just lends itself to a great backstory. Specifically love Nosferatu (3rd ed version) b/c they can be out in the daytime. Really upends PCs' expectations. 8 Ghost (2 points). Ghosts are great villains. Also love the idea PC's have to thi...

Jester, Was curious if you have any plans to make another "Who's Doomed" sort of book, except this time w/ some of the heroes of Ravenloft? Would be interesting to see your take on characters such as the Weathermay-Foxgrove twins, Jander, Ivan Dragonov, Van Richten (even though he's sorta,...

I was thinking about updating the True Innocent as a Background myself. I see a few appropriate skills for this background: Animal Handling (animals tend to like you), Insight (you tend to be empathic), Medicine (you tend to care for others), Performance (you tend to find easy to convey the beauty ...

Background Proficiencies 5e backgrounds reflect the skills the PC has from pre-adventure life. Most backgrounds give out 4 total of language, tool, or skill proficiencies. (so [1 language, 1 tool, 2 skills] or [0 language, 2 tools, 2 skills] etc.) You might just let the player customize based on th...

So I was specifically thinking about the rules aspects of making an Innocent background as per the Player's Handbook. In our previous campaign, which was Pathfinder as well, we had it all set up for this character. But since my group wanted to move to 5th ed D&D, it's a little trickier to make i...

Hi everyone, For my upcoming campaign, one of my players is looking to remake a character we had started a few years ago when we were doing Pathfinder. Now that we're doing D&D 5th, we decided to redo the character as he never really got the chance to play. One of the main keys to the character ...

This looks awesome!! I already bought your Heroes of Mist book and thought it was fantastic. Loved the Dark Shadows idea. Great work & can't wait to read this one!! I'm starting a new game in Barovia but wanted to distance my game from Curse of Strahd stuff, so a proper Strahd write up is most w...

That's AMAZING!! I wonder how many of our fellow Montrealers will have any clue what that means!!

My group is pretty experienced with Ravenloft and the general atmosphere as we have been playing it for many years. I think I probably have to adjust my expectations a bit as you are right, 5ed definitely changes up the atmosphere a bit. I was planning on having a session 0 sort of thing with each a...

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your feedback, really appreciated. As some context, I'm not actually using Curse of Strahd. I am using 5th ed rules, but am keeping the general 3.5 White Wolf campaign vibe that I've always used. I also bought off DM's Guild the really excellent Heroes the Mist book (...

Hi everyone! Long time Ravenloft player here (approx 17 yrs DM'ing Ravenloft, plus about 6 years PC'ing it before that). Have been following this site for many years as well (not sure why I never signed up to post stuff). I just wanted to say I really love the passion & dedication of everyone on...

Hi everyone! New to the board, but VERY long time fan of your work. Been playing Ravenloft for close to 20 years now & been following this site for close to 15 (not sure why I never posted before LOL). I especially love your Quoth the Raven netbooks...such awesome & inspiring stuff! I have a...
