Café de Nuit

I bought it on the release date. I am about half way through my leisurely read through. So far so good. Not sure about Van Richten so far, he is my favorite and I am leery of his disguise description/story but i'll be patient and see where they take it. Seems like it is the 9th version and the 8th &...

Deep in my tomb I have awakened from my long slumber. Something has disturbed me, some faint whisper in the lands above. Seems the cobwebs have become very thick since I last stirred. I will have to do something about that. Oh ho what is this I see? New Ravenloft product? I thought I had purchased m...

There's a great idea for a plotline involving cultists trying to find the head and resurrect it somewhere in there... perhaps a Mordenheimer could covet this item as a super rare golem part or wants to create a zombie dragon golem. Would a wizard dare to resurrect a powerful black dragon? interesti...

is this character still looking for her original head or has she given up by now? Does her original head decompose or is it already lost? Could she cast some form of restoration on it if she ever found it? I am curious about different perspectives on her motives.

Not sure if this is the appropriate location for my query but I noticed that the view active topics link never works even when new posts have been made since my last log in.

Is any one from here bidding on the Ravenloft T shirt on EBay? I hope a collector on this site gets it but when I noticed it it had already gone past the price I am willing to pay for a tee shirt. Best of luck to you fellow fanatics out there. Personally I still need the 1995 Night of the Tiger AD&a...

Linorms are good fits for Linnorms, sorry. Also, with all this discussion of Dragons as embodiments of greed I found something that fits; Ghost Dragons with bodies made of treasure :shock: http://web.archive.org/web/20090602131707/http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20070307b What a cool co...

Jester of the Fos posted his Castle ravenloft 5E update on the thread about 5E and it appears the red dragons are back

K7. Entry
Creatures: 4 red dragons (use 4 harpies)

Actually, the "dragon" which Lord Soth confronted in Strahd's castle may not have been the genuine article. In the original I6 module, four dragons *statues* in Castle Ravenloft could come to life as (small) red dragons to attack intruders. Given the rarity of such beasts, Strahd's replac...

There are few in canon / serious writing: - a Tarnished Dragon from the Forgotten Children netbook - According to Elena Faithhold, there is a red dragon devasting parts of her land (Nidalia) - Strahd had a red dragon in his castle (killed by Soth in KotBR) (but could be back as a dracolich) - anoth...

I feel that the first Alien movie, except for the extreme gory parts, is essentially gothic horror, and Alien is about space (not of the earth) so even that proves that gothic horror as nothing to do with western locations - it's only got to do with the tropes. Unless you're trying redefine the mea...

Blue Bomber, I was wondering where you were getting the Ojibwe influence from now that makes more sense with the dreamcatcher reference. I don't know specifically how they (ojibwe) dressed, my expertise lies in 1800's western tribes but the illustrated depiction in the MC seems like generic plastic ...

You seem to be implying that Gothic Horror only applies to European-type cultures, which I find to be borderline offensive. I hope that I'm wrong and just misunderstanding you, though. Gothic horror tropes can be applied to any culture, including Asian-type and Native American-type cultures. I will...

I never thought "Soth's ennui" made sense nor would the Powers just let him go, especially the Powers part. They would have (imo) just cranked up the pain and torment until he snapped out of it (his whole escape and redemption could have been one cruel Power's hoax) or was broke/destroyed...

I'Cath and Rokushima Tayioo do not fit my idea of gothic horror and seem like they and the Ravenloft world would need to be very large and/or overpopulated to fit in as their real world counterparts. I think these are better Gothic Earth Ravenloft ideas. I am glad no adventures were published for th...
