The lady will think of one when she's done teaching for the morning. ;-) Oops... :oops: The dangers of online text-only communication. I apologize, madame. FWIW, the misquote may be justified, as Stoker might've been attempting to show that the Transylvanians aren't terribly well-educated, and/or t...

Don't know what to tell you, Jim. I haven't had any problems running it. I imported my 10th level Pool of Radiance Reloaded character, clicked on the dice, and I was ready to go. Are you sure your NWN2 is fully updated? Also, the module requires both expansions to run, especially Storm of Zehir, as ...

Misery Stone - new Ravenloft module for NWN2
Hey there, Recently released is a fairly large (about 10h playing time) adventure for the Neverwinter Nights 2 video game taking place in Ravenloft called Misery Stone. It can be downloaded at the Neverwinter Nights Vault. I thought those of you who play NWN2 would like to know. I haven't played it ...

Interesting. You know a lot about the Holy Roman Empire? I have only a passing knowledge of that hodge-podge confederation of feudal states, which was never quite an empire. A lacuna in my education, I see now. And no worries, I like to learn new things, and my knowledge of the Holy Roman Empire is ...

Nobility does not necessarily require ownership of a 'fief.' Many European kingdoms and principalities have conferred noble titles of one sort or another with no grant of land. The so-called feudal system , as such, didn't really exist as anything cohesive across medieval or Early Modern Europe. Wh...

Finally, what defines a language is its grammar, not its vocabulary. That's why Jabberwocky is understandable, despite having most of the words made up: because the sentence construction is English. Even if the *words* of Invidian Balok are based on Italian rather than Romanian or Slavic, if it has...

She is wearing a dress resembling one, and wearing headgear to match. Richemulaise society is, as far as I recall, a Renaissance society (real Renaissance, not what the rules call Renaissance), so my argument is not that the Land of Rich Fieldmouse is a 1920's domain, but rather that I find it enorm...

I missed the 19th century line. The way you were speaking about modern themes made me think of post-20th century literature, my bad. No problem. Modern is a tricky word that can mean all sorts of things, so I suppose I should have been more clear in my nomenclature. But, regardless as to which move...
