Café de Nuit

Pathfinder is practically tweaked 3.5 edition. When WotC greedily moved to 4th edition which was controversial to downright unpopular in order to make money from its dominance of the market, Pathfinder greedily backstabbed WotC and (ab)using the OGL used their own tools, to become D&D's main co...

I was thinking more about the Oregon Trail idea today, and it occurred to me you could make this into two games which have roughly the same gameplay loop at the meta level while being different in the details. So game one would be basically Oregon Trail. Diseases, more random events like finding ber...

Something where you play as a Vistani caravan or wagon like Oregon Trail would be a fun phone game. Maybe you pick up not quests so much as jobs or reasons to go here or there so it is not one linear trip every time.

Not sure if it would be considered “canon” or is even relevant as it was a Forgotten Realms item, but back in the day there was a series of Forgotten Realms novels called “The Cities”, and there was a novel titled “City of Ravens” about Raven’s Bluff that was part of it. Like I said other than maybe...

For the last few years around this time people start taking about “Lunar New Year”. Now what they really mean is Chinese New Year which is indeed based on a lunar calendar, but it is just one of many, all with a different New Year’s Day usually.

Anyways is there more than one calendar in Ravenloft?

Faith gives hope and certainty. A powerful church like the Ezran church changes the facts on the ground. And thus, Faith is sure to take root in such dark places. Especially when you have people, even few people, that can actually do miracles or use magic. I have no issues with established religion...

Awesome! If its one of yours, it shows your range of art styles. You have done the older and later Ravenloft Artstyles (VRG vs. Compendiums/CotN), recreations of classic paintings, coats-of-arms, and now reinassance/medeval art-work. Nope, its G. Woolliscroft Rhea's 19th century painter and illustr...

Happy New Year!

The talk of spells made me wonder if researching spells might be more difficult or even dangerous in Ravenloft than other places. And that got me to wondering if maybe someone who gets stuck in Ravenloft from outside has ever tried building some sort of device, a divine antenna if you will, to conta...

I’ve got no strings To hold me down

I once had strings but now I’m free
There are no strings on me


Marionettes maybe even evil, awakened marionettes

In DnD? No, but the novel Ex-Heroes had a zombie demon. A wizard had put a spell on a demon so he could transform into him like the Incredible Hulk. Then there was a zombie apocalypse, and the wizard got bit in human form and transformed into the demon hoping its immune system could fight off the vi...

One of the few things I liked about Eberron was the points a PC had which could be spent to make whatever they wanted to do happen. The idea was if they’re the heroes of the story occasionally they should just guaranteed be able to do something really impressive. If you give major (does he have a ba...

There was a request for British Isles accurate supernatural beings. Has DND ever statted
anything like the ghostly black dogs from Celtic folklore?

For immersion in running water, I am not sure. I could see the vampire dissolving and the ashes flowing downstream. However, the last movie I recall seeing death by running water in was Dracula A.D. 1972 (in which a vampire was killed by a bathroom shower), and the body was not turned to ash. I’m m...
