Could Ryan Naylor has statted Strahd as a Fighter 3/Wizard[Necromancer] 8/Eldritch Knight 9 with a CR of 30 and that's the version I prefer. Thrown in the golf bag full of magic items that stat block has and Strahd is nothing to sneeze at even for a champion of a god. Ryan Naylor, in The children o...

Could the DPs take Elminister? Sure, they took freakin' Vecna when he was just a demi-god and held onto him for a while (sure he got away but I think that was the DPs testing the limits of what they could actually hold). As overpowered as Elminister is he's not a demi-god (quite yet). Mystra would ...

From past threads I remember a lot, if not most, people see him as boring. Without changing his core too much how could he be made interesting? To qualify he still has to be a werepanther yearning for his humanity but the rest can change. I thought he was a vampire with a panther form? Technically,...

Is Urik overly complicated? Absolutely. Is it worth it to essentially split him into two Dark Lords? Not in my opinion. I'm with Joel in liking Ladislav as he is. I especially like him being vrykolaka which never really got much play in Ravenloft despite being a completely different route to take va...

I ran a one on one game for my wife and the first adventure was essentially a long 0-level experience (For the record I've used the same adventure idea more than once, but it worked best in a 0-level situation). The characters are part of an expedition to a previously missing mansion. They slowly un...

See, I would have found a way to re-tell Macbeth, but that's just the English major in me.

I would agree with you. Vistani are more usable now. The weird things and mystical stuff? Throw them on the Raunies and Dukkar. And perhaps Darklings. That way we have both Mystical vistani and vistani that can, actually, exist. If Vistani were so untouchable, then every Talon grabbing one to send ...

Personally I read this adventure with a very specific head cannon. The Time of Unparalleled Darkness occurred on schedule and almost everyone in Ravenloft managed to make it out in some form (actual escape or death being the most common). It was such a complete collapse that the Dark Powers almost c...

It's certainly one I plan on picking-up and reviewing. I also suspect we might see some more Ustalav in Ravenloft, as teased here: http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211304#p211304 Very cool! Definitely shoot me a message if you post a review, I'd love to hear what you think. ...

I had a pathfinder Van Richten, a level 13 Investigator [Monster Chronicler]. Let me look for it.

In a dark Robin Hood-esque Falkovnian campaign my players did have a safe home base. They discovered a ruined castle, and due to misty hijinks relived the fall of the castle and fought alongside the defenders. When they returned to reality they found that they, and anyone under their protection, cou...

Hey Wes, when they going to let you write a Bastardhall Mega Adventure? :azalin: I have two official answers to this, pick your poison: 1) I run one new session of Bastardhall every Paizocon. Players are about 7th level now, so, extrapolating an end session, adding time for writing and printing, lo...

Just saw this. Thanks for the shout-out, Giamarga! The final cover for this is up on the product page you linked now, and I'm pretty frickin' pleased with it. :D And for anyone who might be turned off by the VERY Vampire Hunter D nature of the product description, don't worry, there's lots more tha...

There's a Castle Ravenloft in upstate new york if you don't mind a con squatting in an unfinished castle.

I think that we might want to stop referring to Frank as an atheist. He clearly believes in god, however, he hates him and blames him for the world being the toilet that it is.
