Banes for... human cleric?
Dear fellows, I need a bit of brainstorming help. In my non-Ravenloft but Ravenloft-influenced 5th edition game, there is an upcoming situation that involves NPCs. Here is the situation, in short: Clerics and Paladins in this world are "divinely blessed" i.e. have good stats and are on ave...

Re: 2nd edition rules question, please help!
Strongholds and Followers is another good supplement for 5E too. Reminiscent of Basic (Expert/Companion/Master) rules D&D. Nice touch. I thought anyway. Never heard of the company that made those. Is it good? It is very expensive for my tastes but through the years I have bought some such suppl...

Re: Is Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting if you own all the 2E/3E books?
There are some good parts in the new books, for every taste though. Specific domains or changes have received praise from various people. Perhaps VRGtR is not for you, but I don't think it would be "a waste of money" but at worst "I wouldn't get my money's worth".

Man, I have forgot how needlessly complex 2e was. Never liked it. Only 4e was worse.

Re: Is Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting if you own all the 2E/3E books?
Honestly, new Dementlieu is a great setting. And it works as an island of terror. I love the idea I read somewhere of Saidra's Dementlieu being connected with the Core Dementlieu, in the sense that pantries in Dementlieu-Core swap with Saidra's Dementlieu occasionally, with food appearing in Saidra'...

Re: Could Transgenic Humanity fit in Lamordia?
While Transgenic Humanity could apply to Lamordia, I would like to say that the Fraternity of Shadows is also working with something that could be considered a way to transcend humanity. Azalin was doing a lot of effort to transcend lichdom. My point is: This is not just Lamordia; there are other su...

Re: PC stats for Howling One Calibans?
I would treat them as hagspawn and tie them to hags in the swamps of Mordent.

The image is not showing, Mephisto.
Aside of reviews on 5e VRGtR, what do you guys think of the Curse of Strahd? I found it very useful as an adventure; there are parts you can simply steal for other campaigns.

Re: Additional monsters for Hazlan
I think the El-Koch should be Mind-flayer made horrors, and not the very smart kind; like an Ankheg-Mind flayer hybrid or something.

Re: Intrigue and secrecy in a venice
You can't beat 5e Dementlieu when it comes to Masks and intrigue IMO. I would suggest making it larger, though with farmland and a few villages outside the city as well as using ... someone's idea (I don't remember whom) that Mirror Dementlieu (5e island of terror) and Core Dementlieu (gaz) are so c...

Considering what you have to steal from me is a sentence, I can say with confidence that go for it.

Re: Ways of Getting Around Canon...
I edit a lot of things about Ravenloft. Fiends, for example are formed from the Demiplane itself and are not Outsiders. This was presented as an option in VRGTF, but I do not see it used often, or ever really. Fiends from the rest of the multiverse can still get stuck in the Demiplane, but it is no...

Re: Is Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting if you own all the 2E/3E books?
We have reviews for the Ravenloft 5e.
Basically, I would say that Curse of Strahd has some chapters that are not too Strahd focused that would be very nice in any campaign. That said, 5e Ravenloft also has some good ideas although not all mesh well with previously established canon.
