Café de Nuit

I've just read most of it, sounds very good indeed, I'm already thinking about of how I could best integrate it into my new campaign in Mordent. Thanks a lot!

Greetings, esteemed masters of horror, Once again my imagination seems to have run dry - or maybe my lack of knowledge of English fairy tales is to blame? My PCs have already encountered a victim of Mr. Fox (Dark Tales & Disturbing Legends) - although they haven't realized that yet. As some more...

Shadowlands would be a definate however I personally would love a Bluetspur gaz although it would be limited. I agree with Archedius: Blutspuer would be awesome - and I'm not so sure whether it would really be so limited: while there is indeed very little IN Blutspuer for us to describe without fal...

From what I heard, the whole deal with Inajira was only created to cover up for the fact that Web of Illusion wasn't finished on time. (Inajira reversed is Arijani) I'm just going to cut that whole part out and use Web of Illusion as part of the hexad. I've still got that one lying around at home, ...

Even after a year of reading Ravenloft material I still don't feel very secure in my RL knowledge, so forgive me if my approach is absolutely non-canon and impossible. However, I plan to have my players meet a red widow as well, later on in my campaign, but I don't want to have my players have a dir...

4) One last mission. Just don't advance the timeline, play as normal. Then end on a high note and have the players and characters savour their victory. Their goals are completed, the badguys have been foiled and all is over. Then the big end happens, something draws the heroes out of retirement. It...

Thanks a lot everyone! Same as Vannax, I'm also trying to translate the prophecy, although in my case the target language is german. Furthermore, I'll skip two of the verses and replace them with my own creations, as I don't want to run Ship of Horror (I haven't looked into it yet, but some people h...

I've made the Barovians a good deal more religiously devoted, complete with lots of festivals for the saints and the like. Most texts on Barovia tend to describe the churches as nearly abandoned, half-ruined buildings. That's kind of hard for me to believe, given that vampires seem to be pretty comm...

That kind of thing is a grey area - the kind that Ravenloft thrives on. When a redeemed villian asks for forgiveness from someone he or she has hurt so badly, the usual result will be something along the lines of: "Yeah, there's something you can do for me, Die!!!!" At which point out com...

Great Commandment, ScS :-). I hope nobody here hates me for bringing the topic back into a more serious direction :-). Another part I'd consider vital for a "good" character is to take the blame for one's actions. For a test of virtue this could mean the following: even though your paladin...

Wow, this thread is growing FAST! Let me add my two cents... I like ScS's 'Stasis Gallery' idea, how about adding a little timer (Hour Glasses for each of the "paintings"), something that gets triggered when the characters enter the room, which shows when the stasis will end. Now, the play...

If you're in Germany or Austria I suggest you have a look at this great shop in Hamburg. Whoa, and I thought that shop had closed down years ago! Seems like they only moved a couple of streets. The "old" shop wasn't that great, extremely small with few books, but those prices on their sit...

You might want to think again about buying ALL 3E Books, essentially "Denizens of Darkness" is the same as "Denizens of Dread": DoDread is the newer 3.5 Version, I believe somewhere on this site you can find a list of the changes between the books, but as far as I know no text wa...

I agree with Jonathan Winters, Sandman is one of my all time favorites. While you may not get many gothic horror ideas, it tells you a lot about stories. However, "The Wake" is the single worst possible book to start with: not only does it give away the grande finale (which takes place in ...

It would be a sad day when Ravenloft fans would not know who the Morts-qui-dancent (excuse my hard to contain ego), Jack Karn or Ivan Szimin are. Seems like I was pretty lucky when I first browsed all the QtR and USS files a few months ago, I had already read all three articles - but there still is...
