Café de Nuit

I've run three short Ravenloft campaigns. In the first, the characters were not only native to Ravenloft, they were native to Darkon, so languages were already accounted for. In the second, I had a mix of native and non-native characters. Because the campaign started months after the non-natives ha...

So, I'm slowly reading more and more Ravenloft things in between all the other things I do (and expanding my Ravenloft collection; I've recently found very cheap copies of the two Gazetteers I still needed!), and I'm left wondering something: How do people handle the different languages? There doesn...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! Both me and the player are currently a bit obsessed with Baldur's Gate 3, but, after that, I think we can get started on this. ♥

I have no experience besides a quick google search with A5E but I would suggest some of the Children of the Night short adventures, perhaps tied in an over-aching arc. As a note, a lot of the CotN adventures work in other planes too. I know, I have run a couple of ghost stories without hiccups. Tha...

So, I've recently finished GM'ing a campaign, and me and one of the players absolutely love that player's character, so I jokingly mentioned the possibility of a one-on-one game (with a beloved NPC as a GMPC), and we both liked the idea, so we're considering it. Now, I'm wondering: what do you all t...

I also think that vampires turning to "ash" could also be them turning to dust, as their corpse is suddenly subject to all the time that has passed since the vampire's first "death." So, if a vampire is really old, they could turn to dust; if they're a younger vampire, you'd just...

Isn't it more a 5.5e than a 6e? Ah, well, we'll see what happens. I find that the changes I've seen so far are not the changes I want to see. I do love the feeling of D&D 5e, but I'm thinking of switching to Level Up: Advanced 5e after I'm done with my current campaign(s). This offers the D&...

This makes me want to buy the SWADE books, but the shipping from the publisher's site is over 600 dollars. 😅 (Unless I pre-order the fantasy companion... Then it's only 41 dollars...) Of course, I could just go for PDF's... Where do you live? Mars? o.o The Netherlands. I feel like it'd almost be ch...

#3 if 4e had been, I dunno, good? Or at least not such a huge tonal shift, PF wouldn't have been seen as a safe harbor for the 3.5 fans. I'll be honest and say that I like 4e? I've only played a bit of it (as much as I've played of 3.5e) but I do like it. There is a shift in style, though, but that...

This comment literally made me give out a very unflattering squeal of laughter.

I will be using the Proficiency without Level variant from the Gamemastery Guide to create a more grim and gritty feel. If I go do PF2e stuff, I feel like I'd go for this as well. Also because I prefer the smaller numbers, because I'm used to it in 5e. And it just... feels better to me. There's als...

What I'm really wondering (and concerned about) are twofold: first, is this OGL and its policies going to hold up in Europe or in European courts? And secondly (and more importantly to me), how will this affect VTTs like Roll20 or FoundryVTT or FantasyGrounds? I extensively use Roll20 for all my D&...

The Organisation for Transformative Works exists to protect fan creations (as long as fans don't make money off of it), so if there's trouble in that department, they could possibly help. The OTW believes that fanworks are creative and transformative, core fair uses, and will therefore be proactive ...

I love Jander Sunstar (he's an NPC in the campaign I'm running and is playing a pretty big part so far). I love the struggle between wanting to be good and the pull to evil vampirism gives... He's a sad little trash man and I love him. My other favourite is Ezmerelda. Met her as an NPC in the first ...
