Re: Savage Ravenloft

About a year ago I retooled the module "The Created" as a Savage Worlds one-off. I used the "Reason" rules from the Rippers setting to represent the Fear/Horror/Madness checks in the Ravenloft setting. My players enjoyed it (I used atmospheric music and we played by candlelight w...

Re: Filling in the Gaps of my RL Storyline

What would be interesting about this scenario is that, in seeking information on how to lay the mummy to rest, PCs might stumble upon long-buried evidence of the old feud between the exiled lords' families. Suddenly, two clans that had forgotten the cause of their enmity find all their old grudges ...

Filling in the Gaps of my RL Storyline

Hello Everyone, I was hoping to obtain some constructive feedback related to an idea I had recently. I'm especially curious to know if it would work better as a Pocket Domain or just as a part of the larger domain in which it is found--that being Darkon. The central themes seem to be Long-Standing F...

Re: New to the Forum? introduce yourself here!

Hi Everyone, I'm not so much "new" as I am a lurker who becomes active everyone once in a while (like a werebeast with a rare and elusive trigger). Anyhow, I became acquainted with Ravenloft through the Red Box Set, which I hid under my bed with all my other "demonic game books" ...

87. The heroes are called to the bedside of a former mentor and benefactor. He is dying, and he reveals the horrible truth that he and his university chums tried to play occult when they were younger and they trapped something horrible in the attic of an abandoned farmhouse. The mentor/benefactor is...

There's no defined "New World" and "Old World".
No real "Hemispheres" of which to speak.
No consistent positioning of stars (could make navigation miserable).
No cultural ages of "Enlightenment" or "Reasoning"
No "Cradle of Civilization".

These are individual adventure ideas, but they could constitute a journey from Nova Vaasa, to Barovia, to Sithicus, and then to Valachan. 74. An ancient dead emerges from the depths of the forest in western Nova Vaasa with a nasty entourage of zombies and ghouls. He is the hero Fjodor. He is angry a...

Chat-based Ravenloft Game, Seeking Players

I would like to see if there is any interest out there in a chat-based Ravenloft campaign. I'm an experienced DM in my mid-20's with little time to collect a group of like-minded players because of grad school obligations. If I can find a few (3-4) players interested in a game based in the Central/S...

MotRD Chat Game, Seeking Players

I have it in mind to run a Masque of the Red Death game via an IM system such as AIM or Yahoo! Messenger or on a java chat site such as that offered by Wizards.com or by White-Wolf.com. I am seeking 3-4 players to participate in one or two sessions per month. Sessions would be held on a Friday or Sa...
