New to Ravenloft? Or new to our forum? introduce yourself!

[SkiBird]

Hey gang. Just signed up the other day. What a great resource!

Not new to Ravenloft, I was introduced with the 2E boxed set. Sort of fell out of love with 3.0/3.5/4E for a few years, but I continued gaming in other systems. Recently found the site and the Arthaus stuff and it got me itching to get back into the Dread Realms…

Look forward to gaming with you in the PbP forum.

Welcome home! Hope you find an opening in a pbp quickly. Enjoy!

Hello all!

I'm new to being a DM and have been trying to adapt The Awakening to 4E on my own. So imagine my joy/relief to find this website!

I'm off to scour your vaults. Thank you for existing!

Welcome, Welcome! I'm not sure we have anything directly applicable to your task at hand, but I'm sure there will be people happy to assist if you have specific questions, so feel free to post and ask.
Off the top of my head, the only things I can think of that might help your are our Nova Vaasa entry in the adventure hook bank:
http://fraternityofshadows.com/TheVault ... Vaasa.html
and the Nova Vaasa Mistipedia page:
http://fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/Nova_Vaasa

I'm off to scour your vaults.

Enjoy! and be sure to check for traps! We do discourage loiterers.

Thank you for existing!

No problem, It's what we do best!

Welcome Depeched!
If you are planning to convert a 2ed Ravenloft adventure to 4ed, you may like to check Jester's 4E Rules for Fear, Horror and Madness, they are very useful! http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/Libr ... t_v2.0.pdf

[Depeched]

Thank you Gonzoron and Salemlord!

The Jester rules have already taken a huge weight off my shoulders and the Nova Vaasa material is great.

I might add a bit more Malken to my adventure. He seems like a great character

hello I'm here because the FoS and all its associated groups have created such a resource of information about ravenloft that I simply could resist no longer.

I've been researching for a ravenloft campaign for years now and am very excited about it. I'll be running it for a single player whose character even in a full PC group would take center stage. this is one of the reasons why my regular group will not be involved. the campaign has used the extensive notes found around this site and mistapedia as well as those made by John C. Mangrum, Alanik Ray and Ryan Naylor. the work each of you have put into this has really helped me. Ryan if you see this I want to thank you personally for your illustrated history of the core and John your name seems to show up on over half the files I use for major research.

[edit] Alanik Ray - I see this guys name as a character and at times I swear I've seen it as an author. if he's an author then special thanks to him and if he's a character then special thanks to the guys who made books using his name.

the campaign its self will use Ryan's predictions for the future but the ToUD has a very special end. it begins in the year 755 B.C. and lasts 20 years. it houses several moduals and infrequent time travel to keep events where they happened but at the character's proper progression in levels. I intend to record the entire campaign as I do all my games as of late and perhaps upload them or at least links to them here. I've not done any pod casts before but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

this campaign is the whole reason I'm here and so I felt it was important to have it in my introduction. as for me a huge part of me wants to get involved in everything around here. I want to fill out the wiki, ask questions to the writers who are still around and help make netbooks. [Re-Edit] namely I'd like to promote/ help finish the Gaz and VRG series but I like to bite off more than I can chew so we'll see about all that... also I posted this originally at 8am or some such and hadn't slept in about 30 hours so there's that lol.

currently my other projects involve writing my own gaming system, working from home as an online vendor of digital media and writing/running my campaigns. so you can see I stay busy but on my own schedule.

so that's me.


previously came after "netbooks"

ha ha ha sorry about that. yeah i was afraid I was possibly breaking some rules there. thanks for the leniency. I'll review those rules. just to say though I don't hate 4E I don't love it but to each there own. I however do not agree with the changes made to vistani, perhaps others do so thank you for correcting it. anyways thanks for the warm welcome.

Well hello
I've known this page for years and loved it but for some reason never felt like joining the forums and introducing myself here
Ive always loved DND and all the iterations of RAvenloft for DND. Although my current Ravenloft campaign is running on Pathfinder rules (yup, I've already checked your Pathfinder resources, -pretty rad-).
The Fraternity of Shadows is awesome!

[Zilfer]

^would this happen to be Aaron? or you just use a similar name to someone in my old group?

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

Welcome, Ravenous! glad to be of service!

Hail and Well Met, Fellow Travelers of the Mists!

I am Galladril,a Player of Dungeons and Dragons since 1989.

The "bug" to finish collecting my Ravenloft collection hit me recently, and over the past few weeks, I have been slowly acquiring a few "treasures."

I have a few questions, but in order to not derail threads, I figured I would introduce myself here, and create a new one, to keep the boards clean.

Thank you all for this amazing resource.
