Café de Nuit

More interesting tidbits on the constant reinvention of Ravenloft. This one is taken from Facebook (James Lowder's page,to be more specific), and is from one of the production team which released Ravenloft 3E.

He was. If you look at him closely, he has bite marks on his neck.

@Dion Where did you find the Project Pomegranate thing? There is no title on DM's Guild with that name. As per K. Baker's tweet , it's still in the works. Also, here's what James Lowder (author of the Ravenloft "Black Rose" series of novels and Sithicus's post-Soth mastermind) had to say ...

Polygon just released a preview of Har'Akir, though they got the darklord's name wrong.

Here's how the Pharaoh looks like now.

Keith Baker just issued a tweet that more or less confirms the presence of Cyre 1313 (the Mourning Rail) as a pocket domain. This ties in with an Eberron-Ravenloft DMsGuild supplement named "Project: Pomegranate."

Looks like Dominic's been institutionalized and needs your help!

"VAN RICHTEN'S GUIDE TO RAVENLOFT" just popped up on Amazon. So yes it's a condensed campaign setting book.

The big rumor flying around is that WotC will be doing 3 settings, or possibly 3 classic settings, for D&D 5e in this year 2021. Apparently, there was some comment from a WotC highup back in 2020 that we would see "two products" featuring the Vistani in the future, after the big backl...

Writer Jackie Cassada passed away today. She was one of the key writers for various White Wolf products, particularly "Changeling: the Dreaming." Ms. Cassada also co-wrote for Ravenloft, including "Champions of Darkness," "Heroes of Light," and portions of the Gazetteer...

This thread has now gone off the rails.

Re: the two future books with Vistani.

I'm thinking that they might not even be Ravenloft books. Remember that in 4E, D&D basically divorced the Vistani from the campaign setting and made them interplanar nomads.

I wrote an entire cluster of Far-Eastern domains, in that book I keep hawking.
