Café de Nuit

So taking all the wonderful minds and twisted talents, I am asking for some brainstorming for exhibits to fill the joint. Here are some of what I have so far, feel free to suggest others. Thanks in advance! We'll just tackle these one at a time.... ~I'm guessing the Museum is based on the RL Britis...

My player group has taken an adventure I had planned out and decided to turn it into a hostage situation/rampage of sorts. The issue is the original adventure (which was located in two specific areas of the museum) was mapped out and they have gone so far off the rails they will have free reign of t...

For those of use who don't speak more-current-edition-speak, is a dread golem a specific type of golem (like flesh, mechanical, etc) with greater powers/hit dice or something else specific? Would a greater animator work just as well with the powerful spirits of the crew being bound to the ship, able...

I keep them relatively short (hours, not days), but vary them. It doesn't matter how far or close, the duration always varies. I have even gone as far as giving my players individual times they think they have been traveling the Mists to give them disorienting perspectives amongst themselves. Only V...

This is what I compiled from various sources. Name-Ezra the Defender (Borcan) Areas of Concern-Protect the weak, Help the sick AL-LN Robes-White Robes with Green Trim Symbols- Silver longsword with a kite shield adorned with a sprig of belladonna Special Note-The Borcan sect (administrated by Praesi...

It is a cool idea, I could see Azalin's 'corrections' including bits and pieces he picked up from either Strahd himself back in the day or texts from Castle Ravenloft or even conversations from spirits within Barovia. Having then moved from Darkon to Mordent (more or less) and then fall into the han...

It occurred to me during preparation for my upcoming CoS game that I don’t think that I have ever seen any attempt to understand why the Old Svalich Road, Svalich Pass and the Svalich Woods are so named. Roads are normally named after their destination unless named for a local landmark. Could it be...

Maybe juvenile mimics could work. They're not fullgrown yet, so the smaller size is only natural. They receive no parental care, so they might have better defences than an adult, boosting its hardness and AC until it grows bigger. Heck, if the juvenile mimic imprints on its wielder, it could grow u...

Now going off AD&D rules, common mimics are average intelligence and N in alignment, so they would be likely to engage in some activity like this as long as they are fed. The killer versions are bigger, dumber, and skew towards evil and I would argue they would less likely be able to passively l...

In my game, I made four gods like an amalgam of their Prime World counterparts as my setting was in Darkon and it seemed to fit better. So a Outlander cleric from the Realms would not find Moradin being worshipped, but the worshippers of The Dwarf Father would find many similarities (same with the H...

So I checked Mistipedia after seeing the term giamarga as a half elf/half Vistani mix. I actually have a PC in my game who is one (from Sithicus) and did not realize there was such a term. Is there any real significance to the blend? In the books, I think the term is only mentioned a handful of tim...

Ok, I am not sure if I should post this here (as it inspired the question) or revive my 'Stupid Question' Thread. I am hoping I can avoid derailing or hijacking this thread. So I checked Mistipedia after seeing the term giamarga as a half elf/half Vistani mix. I actually have a PC in my game who is ...

Warning - this is 'thought-bubble-to-keyboard-while-bypassing-brain' rambling . :P Caveat Emptor At first glance his curse seems a bit 'Meh'. Another Darklord pining after a lost love/friend/pet/whatever - been there done that and opened a franchise. I want my Darklords to know what actual misery i...

Off the top of my head, and not necessarily related to the memory/vision. What if Strahd orders his new sheriff to do something completely morally repugnant? (maybe it's not obvious at the time the order is given, but when he goes to carry it out, he learns the true nature of what he's been asked t...

EDIT: Or even better! All-Star Batman , which I have mostly only seen Linkara's review of, but if we surgically removed the silly dialogue, we have a Bats that is rapidly rolling several powers checks. Or possibly Holy Terror as the moment he crossed the line by funding a terrorist attack to focus ...
