Café de Nuit

To combine Pizza and Rock's suggestions, perhaps the all-nighter could be accomplished by way of the vampiric equivalent of Mountain Dew? Acquiring the components to brew such a potion might be what brings the vampire to the party's attention. Alternatively, an affluent vampire could hire the party...

And there is always the Mimic mortal-spell, which can be cast into a ring or brewed into a potion.

The Hook: There is an orphanage on the outskirts of Mortigny, "Granddad's Home". In a twist, the orphanage's general manager, Grandpa Ors, isn't trying to push his wards off on whoever's willing to pay. In fact, very few children are fostered out; the old Grandpa is adamant that prospecti...

In that case, I guess I'd raise the percentage.

A while back, I read another fan-made option. Henri DuBois was a rake and a wastrel, who went from one woman to another, using them until they had nothing left, until he finally wound up with Jacqueline. His last victim before her was a mousy young woman who loved him with all her heart - only for H...

Alternatively, the Weltaulkügel could be a Ravenloft take on the idea of the clockwork universe, or at least the variant thereof that precludes the need for a divine being to set the clock in motion.

I typically check the wealth-by-level table and adjust starting gold accordingly. Consider marking up the price for genuine magical items a bit, given that Ravenloft is mostly a low-magic setting, and make sure the players give a good backstory as to why they're packing magic gear ("granddad br...

As an ex-Kargat himself, von Kharkov was in a prime position to learn about the ways of "social control" as interpreted by Azalin. Heck, he may have been part of several operations.

To me, von Kharkov's antipathy towards wizards seemed to stem more from his backstory. Morphayus messed up any chance von Kharkov ever had for happiness by turning him into something neither man nor beast but with the yearning to be both. And then, when he'd finally set up his Kargat nosferatu sire ...

The Hook. The party is in a large city, maybe in Borca or Dementlieu, when they are approached by a collective of well-meaning and concerned citizens. The committee asks them to free the eldest daughter of old lord Delacoeur. Apparently after the old boy popped his clogs after a long sickbed, his s...

I ran an adventure in Souragne, once. I ... failed to keep it going, but for a while it was pretty fun. I introduced elements from the Wheel of Time to a scenario where Souragne was in the grip of an unnatural drought, which threatened to release plague from the swamps, and both a new and an old Loa...

There is another option, which could bring food to the vampire: posing as a generally debauched rake. The kind of handsome party animal who never wakes up before evening and parties the whole night through. He's so scandalous, but his massive charm makes him seem exciting. He's every rich gambler's...

This all reminds me of a Buffy episode, where a bunch of teens are possessed by the spirits of hyenas due to a shamanic ritual. Even setting the possession bit aside, the in-universe lore about those particular hyenas is compelling; the legends that they'd hide just beyond the circle of a campfire's...
