Re: Cursebreakers [Campaign Design]
There is an optional Blood Hunter order on DMsGuild that incorporates lycanthropy. That might have useful mechanical information to harvest.

Re: Ravenloft themed Deck of Many Things
That origin story would also require some additions to Ravenloft history, since a Balor traveling the Dread Realms would probably leave a mark. If it mostly visited lesser-known islands of terror (perhaps effectively destroying them in the process), that would both explain why the Core isn't complet...

Re: Ravenloft themed Deck of Many Things
There is an actual balor in Ravenloft? Where is this mentioned? Cut dread possibility from Gazetteer V https://fraternityofshadows.com/TheParlor/3rd_author_notes/AN_Ravenloft_Gazetteer_V.html What a coincidence—right under a cut dread possibility giving more information on the Keeper of Secrets. It...

Re: Ravenloft themed Deck of Many Things
Vizier/Sage ---------> Madame Eva (as in p.7 in VRGtGhosts)/.....................(any sage ideas anyone?) I recall that S visited a fey oracle called the Keeper of Secrets near Mount Baratak to ask about the Shadow Rift. Of course, all GazV says is that the Keeper is incorporeal, so there isn't muc...

Re: Archie's weird mysteries (hang in there, I'll explain)
I have memories of watching reruns of this show when I was little, but I couldn't remember the name of it. I particularly remember the beginning of "Misfortune Hunters," which could be inspiration for a Ravenloft story where an innocent is manipulated by villains. "Little Chock'Lit Sh...

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.
Then, after Viistaros does his magical whammy and the city is cast into the Mists, this Phantasmagorum creature shows up completely out of left field. This part feels incredibly really rushed. The author seems to be creating a full-fledged domain for Viistaros to rule over as darklord, which is fin...

Re: An experiment
It definitely seems that the servants have grown accustomed to carrying out such orders. Their only objection is that the dead man might have his suffering cut short by the cold before they can properly carry out the Baron's command. The excessive cruelty of the Baron definitely does not speak to a ...

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.
THE FONT OF MERCURIAL TEARS This (blessedly) brief entry is a very well done study of a unique magic item. I love the contrast between the logical Kranz and the more magically astute Tiberin. When writing, I find that maintaining one consistent “voice” is hard enough, getting two right deserves kud...

Re: The Black Vault Haul
I am in favor as well. As for attribution, I'm partial to a per-item mention. However, if the general consensus among my fellow contributors is that the proposed header is sufficient, then I'm fine with that too. You're the one who will be doing the hard part, after all. I would probably be inclined...

Re: QtR 30 Errata
This is a very minor thing, but I think I would like the word "the" added in the middle of the title of my article: "From the Collection: the Font of Mercurial Tears."

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.
5. Wolfglide's "Font of Mercurial Tears" is a real masterclass in thematic writing! Not only does it keep Hauptschrei's cold and analytic voice throughout the work (until our other, more fortunate and savvy commentator takes over) but it really manages to immerse the reader in caring abou...

Ehm, folks I'm afraid that my Blaustein article have been published in the uncomplete version, it was my fault basically, ignore the two mentioned new domains, they never made the final draft. Instead here is the missing oracle currse: New Oracle Curse Water Dependency These oracles are tied to wat...

Re: Latest site updates
I think a central place to announce site updates is a sensible thing to maintain.
