Re: Update on the Ravenloft Board Game

It struck me as more Betrayal at the House on the Hill meets HeroQuest, but I can see the Pandemic-y elements too. Should be fun, though as you say, not incredibly "Ravenloft-ish". I seem to remember the crypts from the original (or maybe House of Strahd) being a pretty generic dungeon cra...

Re: Epic Ravenloft

Geez, of all the random threads to be here on one of the rare occasions I come poking my nose around here. Silly me, I thought in our experiment we'd pretty much laid this argument to rest. Apparently it can come back from being killed, too. * Good people need the villain to stay alive To a varying ...

Just a quick thought, and I don't know if this will work for your campaign, but - Azalin likely knows enough about the demiplane to understand that there's a difference between natives and outsiders. Given that no one's ever actually successfully left the demiplane, if he understands enough about ho...

Re: Quest for Glory 4

I also loved the entire QfG series, and actually still have the disks sitting around and play through them every now and again with a different character class. And I actually did run a (low-level) RL adventure loosely based on Tanya and Toby, though I forget now what I statted up Toby as. For those...

Granted. Eberron disappears, and all the Eberron writers are shifted over to work on the new Ravenloft ReVamped line, which manages to produce one, or occasionally even two, quality products per year, in between the 37 crappy products released per year, which completely destroy the campaign setting'...

But my real question is, does it bother anyone that the PC's searched for a creature that wasn't there? Would anyone consider that unfair? Nope, I figured it out anyhow. :P Well, at least, my character determined it to his own satisfaction, even if I wasn't entirely sure. I gotta agree with Ron abo...

I hate to say it but Real Life has caught up to me lately; it's certainly nothing to do with the game (although considering I'm the only player left who's been here since the beginning I can imagine it must get confusing at times for other people, given how much looking-up-of-old-stuff I've had to d...

IMNSHO, it gets a bit confusing from the word "go," but then apparently I think differently from other people. Other people's games don't seem to require information such as whether a ghost can make a grapple check on another ghost, or whether a wraith can hit someone in the ethereal or w...

Sorry for the delay guys, this time of year is always really busy for me, work-wise. I'll try and get something posted to deal with the, erm, current situation :shock: but some questions first: Just to make sure I've got things straight, the current situation is: Harrin has possessed a sea troll (ag...

:) Thanks! I have the Psionic HB for 3e by now, so I guess that things will definitely get better. I'll post such a character board like Nathan and Matt around Christmas, btw. Careful! Is it the 3.0 one, or the 3.5 one? There's a lot of differences between them, they changed Psionics a bunch betwee...

Shadross is startled for a moment by the unceremonious dumping into the ocean - with no apparent sign of the ghost ship, he takes a moment to glance around and take in the situation, and seeing the unmoving, dominated crew of Harrin's boat all around him, almost instinctively sees a problem - Sharks...

I dunno, my first instinct with Telefragging is to point to Dimension Door, which has mechanics for "shunting" you to the nearest open space, and you're the only one who takes damage in the process. After all, I'd assume with the spell you'd usually be teleporting at/into something you can...

OOC: Dismissing a spell is a standard action that doesn't provoke an AoO. Phantom Shift's a Supernatural ability but it makes sense to me that dismissing it would be like dismissing a spell. Questions: How high up in the air is Harrin, at this point? (Basically, how far away is he, relative to Corte...
