I just felt like writing something, so I wrote up something based on some unused Hazlan material I had.

So... new location, new NPCs, and three new secret societies for Hazlan.

Lønigbrün Hall

This long building of pale brown stone and sloped trapezoidal walls, screened from the road by a jaundice-colored wall, is an inexpensive block of residences set aside for Sly-Var's caliban population. Designed with the goal of hiding and segrating the city's "unsightly ...

I might as well finally put this one to rest -- the mystery groom referenced here is Azalin. She was going to marry the king to become queen. from this thread

I just stumbled on the above post by John Mangrum. And after rereading Mangrum's Death Undaunted outline and esp Tavelia's description ...

In a shocking development, I've made it into the second round of Paizo's RPG Superstar contest. My winning submission, the deadstring shears, can be viewed here.

I'm completely stunned, really. These have been rattling around in my Ravenloft notes in one form or another for years.

Let's keep our ...

The Last Mistress is actually a subtle reference to an ancient mentioned in VRGttAncientDead.
