Café de Nuit

"You hear those cops coming? They’re not going to help you. My daddy is a cop in this town, and nothing is going to happen to me. You fucking niggers are going to jail.” - Jacob Caswell It's a modern-day Indian War... or massacre, if you will. The city of Fernley, NV, has essentially declared w...

This sickens me, and needs to be brought to people's attention.

I would love more story hours from these Little Fear adventures. You should head over to the Little Fears Yahoo board, you can find accounts of other people's adventures, some monster ideas, and other discussions over there. (It's a little quiet right now, but it is never dead and the Author is usu...

I think, for Ravenloft fans, this seems fairly clear; the setting itself makes Horror Checks the most difficult to overcome and far rarer than simple Fear. I might note, though, that your example is a little inaccurate, in that the Demons causing the visions are clearly hurting their victim without ...

I still love how much is crammed into two covers. Domains, stats, character classes and spells are all provided and indexed. Domains also introduced a number of different domains and characters that were covered in the supplementary products. This single book opened the door for extended campaignin...

The original Black Box will always be the definitive Ravenloft for me. The red box and DoD book simply relied more on the fantasy and the idea of progressing a fantasy setting than the original material did. In fact, I have never used the Grand Conjunction or the Reqium material, as I felt it destro...

As I mention in my thread about the Leering Molester, undead aren't going to be able to engage in acts of sex any longer, and as such they're appetites are going to translate into the closest thing they know: hunger. (similar to how murderers who cannot perform sexually take out their frustrations o...

While interesting, most of those aren't really appropriate for Ravenloft. (Attraction to Angels?) Though I may have to mine that for Planescape material, to spice up encounters and the like. (in fact, I don't know how many paraphilias I'd use in this general subject of the Walking Dead ... I suppose...

If you're looking for something to add character to your ... well, character, I would rather recommend "Champions of the Mist". (from 2E Ravenloft, not sure what the 3E equivalent is, but most of that material should be fairly easy to translate between editions) That product offers a numbe...

A couple issues about this. First, Hit Points are an abstraction to define all sorts of things that happen to a player, including exhaustion during combat. When one takes hp damage they are not taking a full shot from an arrow or sword, but being grazed, pushed back, slightly injured, and so forth. ...

It has some opportunities for good RP but it's a very "not really good at anything" to appeal to my players. I think they're looking at it the wrong way, it's "a little good at everything". That said, I actually haven't seen the 3.x edition Bard, so it might suck in comparison t...

Well actually bards are an unfavorite class for me. Here is my problem with this: for those people who want to play bards, the mechanics and design of the class are very appealing. Likely they were taken in by the "magic of art" and similar aspects associated with the class design. (in 2E...

Another Idea; "The Mutilator". The Mutilator is a person who engaged in self mutilation and cutting during life and died as a direct result - often do to severe infection. In death the mutilator continues to cut at itself and its body is covered in open and oozing sores, foul with the sten...

How did that work out in the long run? Did the Vassalich try to corrupt the player characters? Did he give them plot hooks to set them up against his former master? He was covering his bases. On one hand he was spying on them, gathering what information he could on their strengths and weaknesses, t...

Actually the material says it is very rare for them to keep anything but maybe the most fleeting of memories, though there are some which do fall into the category of these "prisoners in their own bodies" thing. Myself, I tend to assume that almost no body which was dead, then animated thr...
