I play 2E, I just don't have the time or money to spend on any new products let alone an overhaul. If there is a massive new D@D edition I would consider changing but for now I dig the 2E def. the "g(l)ory days"

this needs to happen...if I make my fortune sooner than later I will consider putting up some money, because horror movies are one of the most effecting of genres and there is so much potential in these themes...as opposed to the monthly cliche teen horror and cop horror (saw, etc.) Give me the goth...

lux aeterna is a truly awe inspiring piece by Gyorgy Ligeti, a composer who WILL be realized as the Beethoven of the latter half of thr 20th century. I reccomend many of his works for atmosphere especially for someone looking for more abstract sounds and less cliche "classical stuff" Anoth...

I will be using black metal for my Ravenloft game because that is music that me and the players love (I have a metal band with one of the guys, and another one bartends and dj's at a popular metal night in town) I think the instrumental track would be ok, although some of the bands really churn out ...

composed music by various dudes from the 18th-20th century would work well in my opinion. I agree with the poster on folk music, espeically froma country with a gothic or old world feel (such as hungary or russia). I also always thought that really early music such as chants and motets would be grea...

has a ravenloft movie ever been seriously consdiered by the main series writers or copywrite owners. Obviously I think there is a lot of potential there for a live action setting. Perhaps one featuring strahd, but maybe not. I think that it would have to be a standalone story that also introduces pe...
