Anyone still have the old Ravenloft Casting Call pictures?

I was remembering it from the Kargatane and they had some awesome pictures for the Dark Lords.

I remember Strahd was timothy Dalton.

Rebuttal

Actually, I'm his Call of Cthulhu Gamemaster (or Keeper as they call them). The way I run my Call of Cthulhu games is invariably to run them "wrong." The Masks of Nyarlathotep and Over the Mountains of Madness are two mega-adventures that I'm particularly famous for since both of them lead...

It's a similar sort of metagaming irony as in Dark Sun, where people are struggling to save the world to epic lengths... but the world itself is just a barren dustball sinking into extinction. Odd fact there. Dark Sun I always took as the Post-Apocalypse "survival is what matters, not the worl...

He sounds like one of my player who's main complaint is that Strahd cannot be beaten. Those players tend to view the darklords as the end of level villain in a video game. Well he does have a point though. If we're playing a game influenced by Bram Stroker's Dracula then isn't the point of the adve...

Well I disagree with me him on principle but I do think that there's definitely a vague point to what he's saying in that Ravenloft seems to be trying alittle too hard to be a static campaign setting. In my Forgotten Realms games, it's entirely possible to destroy Ssass Tam for instance in the Red W...

Why players don't like Ravenloft...

Wow, I just got the weirdest response from a gamer friend of mine while discussing the setting. I really wanted to do a game and described it as "Castlevania meets Hammer Horror." However, his response was entirely different from my take on the setting. Listen, Chuck, I love you to death b...

Well, my take on the matter was that Azalin fully expected a confrontation with them from the beginning. They are after all heroes and witch hunters. Azalin is a Lich, do you honestly think he recruited them expecting them to supply hearts and candy? He's well aware they hate him and they'd be feel ...

I did actually run this adventure tonight and the PCs struggled with the issue of restoring Azalin a lot nastier than this adventure implies they should. "The Vampire Queen LESS PREFERRABLE? Are you dense? Who is responsible for the sorrow, the sadness, the HORROR, and the NIGHTMARE that Darkon...

Who wants to do the "Return Azalin to power adventure?&

Since I already did a write up for the Time of Unparalleled Darkness, I'm inclined to do this adventure as well.

Yeah, Robinloft is NOT a parody sadly. I was expecting a huge poking fun at TSR's Ravenloft line and instead the story is almost identical to Strahds. Of course, people forget that House of Strahd had humor in it as well (remember the zombies in the Stewpot and what was written on the tombs?) The on...

I was going for what would be SUGGESTED ideas for vampires. The idea would be a genuine romance with a Vampire but whether they are good ideas is left up to the poster for suggestions.

Romance with monsters

This is an odd thread I thought would be useful for the game. How do you think a love-story should be run between two characters when one of them is a monster of Ravenloft? Presuming the character is already in love with one of them or likely to fall in love when they become or are revealed as a cre...
