Café de Nuit

I was under the impression that the Mourning Rail didn't stop at all, but since it is effectively a ghost train it can inadvertently scoop unsuspecting people up and into itself (like many domains do). It could be rushing across a countryside and happen to draw in some mortal souls who, in a blink, ...

Potentially noobish question/suggestion, but could all of this be conceivably the start of the Time of Unparalleled Darkness? With all the weirdness going on - alternate realities and variant darklords appearing, some domains (Darkon) slowly collapsing, the (potential) reliance on Mist Talismans to...

I do want to try and build Castle Ravenloft in Planet Coaster at some point. I just need to figure out how to make the in-game grid match the map as closely as I can manage, and then there's room for a very good dark ride.

In The House of Lament adventure, the haunted Evensong Harp, Lyron Evansong and a tune named Blood-Tears of Claveria are mentioned during a potential haunting encounter in the house's music room. These are references to Baron Lyron Evensong, darklord of Liffe, who is found in the settlement of Clave...

Oh man. This is (literally) my jam. I'm very much an audio guy so I've put way too much time into this. The soundtrack to Le Portrait de Petit Cossette has some excellent atmosphere tracks, both ambient and action-packed. It's been my go-to for music choices in most of my Ravenloft games. Cannot rec...

I love this! Way to take a nugget of something different and build it up with enough of a nod to the OG sources to make an interesting reinterpretation of the domain! Hell, reading it felt genuinely surreal in its own way. Well done!

Back when I was running Ravenloft in Pathfinder 1, my party met van Richten in Souragne while he was in disguise. He was there doing research for one of his guides and was posing as a bumbling paranormal investigator named Caleb Rickets. It was a fun way to introduce them to him because, in a crucia...

Someone must have really liked the mental image of ghouls in servants livery as a theme?

Then again, we had that in Night of the Walking Dead.

Would be interesting to hear how other people did it. I figured Ezmerelda could be related to Cyrilla Deschamps, a Vistani wise woman that Dr. VR worked with and befriended prior to his reconciliation with Arturi and the other Vistani. Ezmerelda might have been a friend and apprentice doctor to Dr....

Question: considering CoS doesn't line up with the established lore, is there any room in this discussion to rework Ezmerelda d'Avenir to fit in better, or is she just kind of ruled out? Personally, I've done some tweaks to try and fit her into the lore on my end, and I'd be happy to share them. VRG...

I'll try to keep this short, maybe expand on a couple things later that I want to pull out and discuss, but maybe doing bullet points will make it easier. The Good (IMHO) Most of the added mechanical stuff for PCs - lineages, class options, backgrounds, etc. - seem cool and have neat flavor attached...

Good evening. Longtime haunter, part-time lurker and first time caller. I've been hovering invisible for a bit here but figured I'd manifest properly and say hi, join you all and express my thanks to the Fraternity, first and foremost, for keeping Ravenloft alive on the net all this time. I'm a rela...
