Black Crusade PDF
I'm reading through the Ravenloft: Dominion trilogy of novels, and the last instalment ( Black Crusade by Ari Marmell) seems to only have been released as a free-to-download PDF back in 2008-2009. I don't think it's still possible to find it online, so i thought I'd ask if anyone here have a copy th...

Re: Is Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting if you own all the 2E/3E books?
As you probably know by now, the Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft proposes a completely different version of the setting than the 2E/3E books. The domains are more isolated, and act as their own mini-settings. Several darklords have had their biographies rewritten from scratch, taking their stories ...

Re: Insectoid
No idea if they ever corrected it. I remember finding it pretty funny
Anyway, I was never too bothered by it, it's not too difficult to just imagine a generic bug.

Re: Doppelganger vs. Lycanthropy
If I had to come up with an answer in my own game, I would make the doppelganger become able to assume the form of beasts in addition to those of humanoids, but at the same time suffer from bouts of uncontrollable hunger or bloodlust. Depending on what the adventure is going for, the creature could ...

If you want a shapechanging werewolf, why not simply use a wolfwere?

Re: Ways of Getting Around Canon...
If you want to remain consistent with 2E canon, you'll need 1) a reason for Azalin to strike the immigrant character's name from the Book of Names (for all we know it's something he might do quite often; canon sources don't say one way or the other) and 2) a way for the spy character to fake a falko...

Re: Carrier Pigeons in the Mists
In 5e, the Keepers of the Feather secret society has a network of "messenger ravens" that can reliably deliver letters between domains of dread, and they offer it as a service to those who are seen as the society's allies. It is implied that these are special birds that only Keepers know h...

Re: Suffer not the Caliban
It's sometimes easy to forget, but Ravenloft does have a fair share of good people who don't go for child murder.

Re: Phylactery Questions
I guess I will just come right out and ask it specifically... Is there any advantage for a lich to hide their phylactery in plain sight? Or even outside of their lair? I could see that occurring if the phylactery happens to be an object that has an important function besides just being a phylactery...

Re: Phylactery Questions
Huh. Yeah, forgot about the boneclaw. Frankly, I find its current lore to be a bit all over the place, theme-wise: they're the disembodied soul of a failed lich (cool so far), that spontaneously acquires a physical form (!) and immediately bonds with an evil creature that happens to be nearby (the n...

Re: Phylactery Questions
There are two D&D creatures who've been described as coming into being when a spellcaster's lich transformation goes awry: the D&D 3.5 grisgol (a vaguely humanoid amalgamation of scrolls and magic components), and the D&D 5e necrichor (an viscous mass of dark ichor that attaches to peopl...

Re: Phylactery Questions
:? Where does it say that? I have not noticed this in the MM. I mean, it's right there in the MM's description? Soul Sacrifices. A lich must periodically feed souls to its phylactery to sustain the magic preserving its body and consciousness. It does this using the imprisonment spell. Instead of ch...

Re: Phylactery Questions
The rules for lich phylacteries have undergone some changes between D&D editions. AD&D 1st edition didn't provide any game mechanics for how a lich's phylactery worked, only mentioning that it was a necessary component for maintaining the lich's unliving existence. This seemed to imply that ...

Re: Review thread of VRGtRL 5e
4) I also like that they took the setting and advanced the timeline. I didn't need to read, again, that Azalin tried to escape and failed. That's been canon for decades. I really like that something happened in Darkon and we don't know what! Did he escape? Did he blow himself up? I really like that...
