Café de Nuit

Apparently the guys fighting the big ogre were vampires???

Need to start training my face for palming. 🫩

In Witchlight, I remember her having a secret room full of literal demon babies, which provided a clue that she's not entirely on the up-and-up, despite her "fairy queen" disguise.

I've yet to sit down to read Eve of Ruin. Just a quick perusal of that book made me want to close it and spare myself ...

Tasha is the main character’s patron.

The scattershot approach they’ve taken with Tasha is weird. They’ve tried to make her heroic, and quietly ignored the time she kept Gra’azt as a sex slave for 100 years.


"Heroic" isn't exactly the vibe I'm getting, but will have to play the game to find ...

Just as vampire stories are not meant to be a commentary on real-world medical conditions like porphyria or rabies, very seldom does supernatural horror fiction use split personality tropes to comment on DID. More often, the condition is treated as, well, supernatural, and brought about by outside ...

Anyone else found it interesting that the imp's name is Skev? Especially if you remember Azalin's familiar in From the Shadows?

Not sure. The book has very little that's new compared to Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft . But the presentation is much improved.

Oh and by the way, I don't recommend ordering the Beadle and Grimm's Silver Edition. Contrary to the VRGTR one, which had some great extra material, this one mainly ...

Yep, and they threw a bone to Gothic Earth as well.

It's a blurry photo I took of the book's "Special Thanks" section. It extends thanks to many of the writers of 2E product line (including even JWM) and also to the Kargatane and to the Fraternity of Shadows.

I will say this: the Innsmouth domain works. Yeah I know, it's a blatantly ridiculous concept, and a transparent gambit to market the book to Lovecraft fans, but damn if they haven't given it their all to make it work. The domain does a good job showcasing how Cthulhu would transform and corrupt the ...

Yep, they also gave Az an interesting new reaction power that lets him instantly learn any spell he manages to counterspell. But only for an hour, after which time it slips from his mind again.

Another thing I liked is they gave Azalin his old curse back, and retconned Hazlik to avoid copying him. I like to imagine that the two of them bumped into each other in a school corridor, and Azalin was like "one of us is going back home to change, and it ain't going to be me."

Huh.



That's nice of them.

I assume because the stakes are so high that they can't afford to take chances. The Vistani know better than most that the best laid plans can go awry, and one does not cheat fate by employing half-measures.

Is it bad that I actually snickered at that awful "If her name is INza, maybe she can get us OUTza" joke during the Dungeon Masters show?
