Café de Nuit

A part of me wishes I had the time, but I'm rather swamped. That said, I may keep an eye on this.

Ah, Borca. Now there's a fun place. Couple of logistics questions:

1) Game will be run here on the FoS Forum, I assume?
2) What do you expect the level range to be? One builds a character expected to go from 3 to 5 a bit differently than one expected to go from 3 to 15.

Need to dig out my Falkovnia and Lamordia Revisions.... now where did I put them... and the formatting, mein gott, the formatting!

Desmarais is back!

Awesome.

Glad you like them, and several good ideas there! If you're looking for other, extra-Core technological domains, I think Sri Raji is your best bet. Parts of India, up until 1800, was of a comparable technological/social/economic development to the core areas of Europe (think Gujarat vs. England and ...

*taps chin* Alright, pondering shall be done on Darklords. We'll see what we remember of this next year. Personally, I feel that if we take the fantasy a notch down... it's too close to Pharazia to be a different domain! :) So, personally, I would keep much of the fantasy stuff, rename the domain, t...

I actually had an Obedient as a PC in my Eye of Anubis campaign (played by Nathan of the FoS, matter of fact), and we went for a hyper-subtle approach. Keep in mind two things: 1) D'Honaire is an intelligent, Machiavellian manipulator. 2) The human mind is amazingly good at rationalization. So on th...

Honestly, the best way to approach it would probably be to write about five backstories and let whomever was running the game pick. Like I said, the problem was never too little ideas for Diamabel, it was having too many. And the idea of a guy with five backstories fits perfectly well with the new ...

Re: the Pharazia article. It seems to be missing the point of the domain, and thus the attempts to "fix" it have actually taken it further from what it was intended to be. Hmm. I think we are dealing with somewhat different concepts of what Pharazia is. I'd spotted the Zoroastrian element...

Careful... follow that path too far, and pretty soon you'll be banning spammers, fixing broken links, resetting passwords, and uploading avatars.... the horror, the horror.... *three days later, the forum has crashed, all the netbooks are wiped, and my computer is on fire* There's a reason I stick ...

I suspect these are questions that are best answered in a write-up of G'Henna. The usual answer is that back when fealty was actually being sworn, the Pharazians had a seriously impressive army. Nowadays, it's mostly tradition. And for my part, I kind of wanted to move away from the intolerant Musli...

Also, I am deeply gratified that Barovia meets approval. It's always been the archetypal Ravenloft domain, and one of my personal favorite domains (P. N. Elrod's I, Strahd is what got me into gaming). So since I have, by curious conflux of chance, become a Balkan scholar, I started shoving various b...

For Pharazia... it's interesting but so far I don't understand the "empire" thing. I'll have to read it carefully because an empire of domains sounds... intriguing but difficult to pull. If it comes down to that, I could just use the info for the Domain of Pharazia. Basically? Supernatura...

Well, if Gonzoron can set up a thread to discuss his article, I can do the same. :wink: Mostly, I'm curious as to whether anyone is planning to use these things, what people think, and so forth. They're both fairly big projects to cast into the abyss, and I want to see what ripples up. Practically, ...
