Café de Nuit

And if anything you can still run the old stuff, and for example Gonzoron you could easily just flip some of the names and run the New Dementlieu as a completely new Domain floating out in the mists. Again for me regardless of whether they change anything, it's up to me as the DM whether it changes ...

That is something i've never gotten around to in my games. Wax Museums!

I made a post in the 'what we know topic.' Hopefully I didn't totally misplace it there, but as the DM of this game seems to have access to the book early, and has mentioned he'll be playing this one "close to the book" as possible. I figured it warrented discussion over there. Overall I c...

So I apologize if this is the wrong place to put it but I feel like the possibility of it being true to the changes in the book could be fairly high being as it is a streamed campaign on the official DnD youtube channel. (The same channel the Dementlieu interview is coming from above) Ok take this w...

Yeah I think it's been calculated here already that the Core itself does not make sense, despite there being tidbits that try to make it make sense. Most people already change the Core to be larger in scale than it actually is (or I do) so you can't cross it in like a week. I'm pretty sure somewhere...

^I'm actually wondering if it's more the base assumption will be you can't leave without an extra device, whether plot device, or actual physical object. Vistani, Erzan Clerics, or otherwise. Personally my players being a bit trepidatious of stepping into the mist might be a bonus since most of my g...

As it has been mentioned before, the Editor? (I believe) knows the lore, which is unfortunate as the setting has gone a step backwards being many Islands of Terror for differently themed "weekends in hell" To be fair he also mentioned just as an example how to handle Tatyana being outside...

Mark Meer is an OG Ravenloft fan similar to most of you (and me) here. Without spoiling too much, there is someone you will recognize in session 1 that is unexpected. Also, if you cannot make it through the whole thing, at least check out the last 12 minutes for something special as well. Heh watch...

Not sure how prevalent that line of thinking is in all domains. Vistani always seem to ride a line between mistrusted and respected at least in my head/campaigns. I had thought somewhere it was mentioned though that people were already hiring Vistani to get through Mist Ways without getting lost. (m...

I kinda like how you have each of your strahd's named a title. Helps a bit flesh out different era's of his rule, and possibly give a bit more credence on people believing someone would name all their descendants the same name. I'm currently using Strahd XIII because well 13 being that unique number...

Another thing to note, is the Vistani probably have a much more booming business of shepherding people from domain to domain. Not sure exactly what it would do for trade. It boggles the mind to think that across the same misty border you might be able to easily get goods from other domains as easily...

Sounds good, I plan on it. I just can't listen to it while at work. So maybe sometime by the end of the week i'll be through it, since i'll listen to it on the way home.

Interesting i'll have to give it a watch. It has a few familiar faces to me. (I watch Vampire the Masquerade a bit so know B.D. Walters a bit, Becca Scott was in commercials of Critical Role half time for a good bit, and Mark Meer is of course the voice actor for Commander Shepard in Mass Effect.) I...

Took a quick listen to it, what I took away is the books will take from Bram Stoker's Dracula in they want to have a bunch of letter correspondence between characters at the beginning of the book. During mentioning, Dilisnya in one of crypt of Strahd he mentions you can find out that oh one of the o...

An interesting thought I had not too long ago was that if Strahd hadn't become a vampire, and wasn't jealous of his brother in that regard Sergei and Tatyana will probably would have died along with Strahd and Barovia would be probably ruled by a Leo Dilisnya whose successful coup would probably not...
