Re: The Caliban Chronicles: Nonhuman-Friendly Ravenloft

Well, thank you! Actually, do you want me to leave Dread Genasi out of this project here, if that's the case? You're very welcome. I would recommend putting the Dread Genasi concept "on hold" for your project for the moment. I'm not promising that I'll ultimately recreate a new Ravenlofti...

Re: Jester's Review of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft

You don't have to forget everything you ever read, played and loved about Ravenloft to enjoy the new book. Take from that what you like, adapt what you like and drop what you don't like. I recall a particular Raveloft campaign in which we used to play, alhoon, where multiple domains in the Core had...

Re: The Caliban Chronicles: Nonhuman-Friendly Ravenloft

Dread Genasi: A Quoth a Raven original, dread elemental genasi make sense to me for the same reason that tieflings do; they strike a balance between planetouched and caliban, and they fit well into the setting with their ties to dark magic and the dire forces of nature. I cannot adequately verbaliz...

Re: Back for a Visit...

Some, I outlasted... Bela, Chartreuse-both of whom I was as close to as one can be with someone they've never actually met. When they left, I really didn't last much longer. Yeah, a lot of good friendships were made between here and the old SotK website. It became tougher to stay around when the ot...

Ah, I remember spending some late nights trying to write articles and help edit other submissions. Hard to believe that we were putting out an issue every couple months back then, eh, Stephen? :wink:

I was not aware it was a remake. I remembered the title and seeing an old film like that many years ago, it may have been that, but it didn't leave any lasting mark in me. Honestly, I liked the original movie better, but it was released when I was in grade school (so I might be just a little nostal...

Received both seasons from my wife as a Christmas present a couple years ago. I would say that both seasons are well worth the time to watch. Just as a warning, however, the second season definitely ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. Pretty cool but also fairly sad (since they never picked it back up ...

Hmm... for step 1, would you recommend making this meeting of the Tormented out to be the first one for the purpose of finding The Nameless One, or just the most recent of many? My opinion would be for the latter option. If this is the most recent of many meetings, then you have more leeway to fill...

Sorry about the delay. My daughter has been pretty ill the last couple days, so I've been juggling taking care of her with my wife. That being said, I did spend some time mulling over your proposal in my head. Honestly, my best suggestion would be to approach this topic as a story (I just don't see ...

Yeah, I should be able to be back either Monday or Tuesday evening after work (varying a bit depending upon my wife and toddler's schedules). But I imagine that I should be able to provide some feedback, general ideas, and some direction at that time. And, again, you are welcome. While a somewhat li...

No, it doesn't completely answer my question, but I do have a better idea of the overall premise that you're thinking about. Since we're discussing this topic in the Fan Fiction forum, then I'm leaning toward this probably becoming some sort of story in its final version. Give me a couple days to gi...

Then let me answer your questions by asking a question: What exactly are you looking to accomplish? Are we wanting to create a story that draws these character into Ravenloft and then catalogs the adventures/misadventures that take place? Or are you wanting to do something else with this project? I'...

I don't tend to use MSN, so I'm fine leaving it here (unless you need to move the discussion elsewhere). Besides, I'm actually more likely to keep track of this thread and our discussions here. If this progresses far enough where you need me to actually read more than what can easily be expressed in...
