Re: An Illustrated History of the Core

curious if Hazlik went to Toril during the grand conjunction does that mean that he escaped the mists for a time, thus doing what not even Azalin who been trying to do just that was able to do? or do you think the mists toyed with him and showed him dreams and what not to torment him further?

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

Point 9/14: I would reinstate the Common language. The existing languages would remain, and suspicious villagers would naturally revert to their native tongues to discuss the strange newcomers. The more I plan domain-hopping campaigns, the more I find myself bending over backwards to justify having...

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

in a weird way I would kind of agree with you. There would certainly be people passing stuff off as magical rare items, weather they are or not is up to me. But there would be people in Borca or Dementlieu pawning off items going "see, good sir, look at this. this is a relic of the ancient terg...

Re: Duskpeace Lodge

Of course, one could also have it where both give into their darker natures and over time relish in being lycans. Perhaps after killing one of the more powerful werewolves they were after they take his/her place and become antagonists in their own right, perhaps leading their own tribe of werewolves...

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

well Giamarga, that does not work that well for me, since when I run ravenloft I use BRP not d20 :P but i that system allows for alternative ways of identfy something. For instance one could use natural world, occult, library, folklore or even theology and other skills. thus alternatve ways and also...

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

I prefer to have superstions play a part. People will believe in monsters, but these monsters may not be anywhere near factual. This way they are not idoits and they are aware of the dangers, after all they live there so they have to be aware of the dangers but they are not familiar with the details...

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

@ryan: I am curious what do you not like about Hazlan? I am not really sure how I would redue Bluetspure, perhaps make it more of a mountains of Madness sort of feel though. I actually love the adventure paths, but on the other hand it does not help my style. I am a sandbox sort of GM, I love to tak...

Re: 15th Anniversary of the Book of Souls Netbook!

What were your favorite domains?

If you could re-do/redesign any domain which one(s) and how?

Neat to see members of the Kargatane here :)

Re: names for the domains

Several of the domain names have wry meanings in different languages, which could hurt suspension of disbelief in a multilingual group. Specifically to answer Herkles' question, here are some domain names I've switched. Lamordia becomes Nortenmark ("north reach"). Dementlieu becomes Marés...

names for the domains

Hello,

One thing I am looking at doing is redoing the core all together and making it more corehesive. But one thing that stumps me at the moment are names for the domains. So if people can help come up with good domain names for me that will be great.

sincerely,

I never really understood the Eternal Order, and thus I kind of do not like them. If someone could expalin them a bit better, I would be appricative.

Re: Help with Falkovnia.

I have a similar thing in mind with my version of Falkovinia. I did what I could to remove the nazi stuff, as well as answer the question, "why is falkovinia hell on earth, when darkon is a feudal kingdom with a secert police made out of monsters, ruled by an evil lich?" I generally have a...

Re: Help with 1st level adventure. Please.

hmm, I would suggest either Port-a-Lucine in Dementlieu. It is the cultural center of the core. It isn't a land of many monsters persay but human horrors, the darklord is a puppeteer type guy. This is where I would run jack the ripper, sherlock holmes, doctor jeckle and mister hyde and similar sort ...
