Café de Nuit

I believe Stuart Turner once mentioned that he ran Bleak House as a sequel to his campaign, but there's no summary to how it turned out. Perhaps if we engage in a séance and prepare a mystick cage we can summon him for some DM do-and-don't tips?

Arguably, Falkovnia (however briefly) could be one before Vlad Drakov killed the then ruling king and assumed leadership. My "head canon" has Drakov's defeat of the former ruler of Falkovnia as part of the domain's false history (slight change in the chronology: the domain forms as he &qu...

I agree that Mordenheim would never go too far from Elise, and that in and of itself would make him unlikely to leave Lamordia. I do think that he could leave if he really wanted, or at least that the DPs are not restricting his movement in any particular way... however, I also have a personal idea ...

...I have no idea what Strahd's relation to Frantisek Markov is, but Markov is a Barovian, who committed some heinous crimes and escaped, if I recall his origin correctly. I suspect that avoiding the law and leaving Barovia is grounds enough for Strahd to not like the man, regardless of Strahd's op...

As of Domains of Dread, which was released only 1 year later, they were still categorizing darklords as "demilords, lords, overlords, & darklords" with the location and size of a domain having a sort of prestige. True, but being part of the Core was the primary criterion for full &quo...

I have always found that explanation for Timothy and Dominiani's demotion to ring a bit false. Should we even be calling Heinfroth's domain change a "demotion"? He transitioned from an inherited domain with no particular connection to him other than that he lived there to getting a specia...

The easiest in-game explanation for Nathan Timothy's loss of darklordship is as a freak side effect of the Grand Conjunction. I've always treated the Grand Conjunction as an event that was beyond the Dark Powers' control (even if they can manipulate and react to it, there's stuff that happened that ...

And those on the moderate to lower ends of understanding: Dominic D'Honaire Elena Faithhold (thinks it's a test from her god) Gabrielle Aderre Jaqueline Renier Vlad Drakov Does anybody disagree with the above statements? I would put Gabby Aderre on the higher end - she is well-versed in Vistani lor...

(Also yes I know Soth was brought to Ravenloft quite a while before Vlad, but Gods can afford to plan for the long term, if I could recall any other Darklords from Krynn I'd probably build on this sketch/joke) Other way around - Drakov had been in Ravenloft for a couple of decades by the time Soth ...

Basically... I feel she might have been suffering from her trigger whens he met him, but she was not aware of it at that point, and if you never meant to imply that she was already aware of it, I'm sorry for misreading you... She's definitely suffering from the trigger; I've always interpreted it a...

Heck let me see if I can't find someone (possibly form here) who did Jacqueline's terror track... and I'll comment on how I might have done it. Here's what Ryan Naylor did for his "Pathfinder in the Mists" netbooks. It looks like he agrees with you... he gave Jackie R. the mist power as h...

There's a lot of hidden mention of priests here and there, even if we excise everything after DoD. Oh, agreed... and the Islands of Terror priesthoods are one of he reasons why I would limit such a campaign to the Core if I were to pursue it. But I do find it interesting that most of them are the o...

In my personal head cannon I couldn't possibly believe getting a "wrong context" power that has nothing at all related to her other abilities (as opposed to controlling rats in the city, aging super gracefully, not smelling like the sewers no matter how much time she spends down there) th...

I do find the "lost" faiths intriguing for OOC reasons as well as narrative ones, both original adventures had partially ruined churches, but IIRC the first mention of Andral was in the Forbidden Lore boxed set in the section on the Keepers of the Feather, and the High Faith has vanished ...

Jacqueline Renier is probably in the lower 25% not because of any particular lack of mental facility, but because its hard to tell how often her darklordship comes up/is waved right in her face (did she have that fear of being alone before she became one and it just got worse, as Richemulot's ruler...
