Café de Nuit

Arkandalers still practice an indigenous form of art called birchbark biting. Artists chose thin and flexible pieces of birch bark, they fold it and using the eyeteeth they bite on small pieces into a lace or just make certain areas thinner to allow for light to pass through and form intricate symme...

In general I believe Ramulai and especially the Red Accademy should be a nature defying place, possibly the only human settled high fantasy place in the Demiplane of Dread. The adventurers will possibly will not visit a magic infested place like this again unless they somehow visit Castle Avernus in...

In particular, do we know anything about how the Red Academy is laid out or what it looks like? The Red Academy is probably made of the same "living stone" as the rest of Ramulai, said to be constructed in a single day by Hazlik's magic transforming the stone ( homes in Ramulai are constr...

I appreciate the suggestions, Mephisto. Ended up dropping them in the hills surrounding Ramulai and had them stumble across it after fighting off some tentacle rats. Any advice on their first interactions, beyond what S has to say about the attitudes of the Rashemani serfs living there? In particul...

I'm about to start a new campaign in the classic "outlanders deposited into Ravenloft" vein, using the Sword & Sorcery version of the campaign setting. Problem is, my players really want to start their campaign in Hazlan, and I have no real knowledge of or attraction to the domain, so...

(Or this Dementlieu map: https://i.imgur.com/pN9jdM4.png) I discovered another find for Dementieu the village of Villebois from The Beast Within A RAVENLOFT® adventure for the ADVENTURER’S GUILD™ Retail Play Program. " Inside every human heart is a ravenous beast, the people of Villebois say. ...

Reaper miniatures Chronoscope have these miniatures called Bathalian which is a name they made out for Illithids. I believe these monsters could be how the El-Koth look like. They resemble a hybrid of mind flayers and Zerg hydralisk's from the Starcraft game. Zerg have two cell types at birth — one ...

I found this cool mini for Ivan Dilisnya 5e

Grûlan

"One such young woman was the peasant girl Marta , to whom Bakholis took fancy when his hunting party passed through the village of Grûlan."
-p.44 Gazetteer IV

I believe it should be somewhere in Vulpwood as these were probably Bakholis private hunting grounds.

I don't disagree with any of what you said, Speedy, but none of that changes the likelihood that Meph is right. It's just a matter of when the countdown begins in earnest. Well it is a nice scenario to find his body in the woods (or maybe he recently died from White Fever) and while investigating h...

Second, the hamlet is home to a man named Alskel Faedelspar, who claims to make arrowheads from a local flint which have proven particularly efficacious against beasts from Verbrek... Alskel's arrowheads work equally well against any lycanthrope... or undead, including a certain Sithican vampire. A...

There is a 2e Guide to Transylvania an accessory for Masque of the Red Death sourcebook of Gothic Earth

What edition of D&D do most people use for Ravenloft on these forums? I believe the majority of writers in this forum use Pathfinder or 3/3.5e D&D rules. There are some exceptions though as it is evident in some QtR articles that use 2e AD&D and some write about 5e (I think I haven'twit...

I’ve been a long time fan of Ravenloft and own most of the 2E and 3E books. Is the recent Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting as an update to the setting if I already own most of the 2E/3E books? … Also, on a side note, I’ve decided Strahd won’t be the “keystone” to my Ravenloft. Instead...

Animated exoskeletons? That... doesn't sound blasphemous. Does the insect has to be dead or it could have just grown out of its exoskeleton? Dead... :azalin: Insects do not have an internal skeleton like we do, known as an endoskeleton. Rather, the outside of their bodies is their skeleton, an exos...
