Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
Other than partially absorbing the ethereal plane's functions there isn't a lot of difference aside from the Raven Queen being added. The Spelljammer adventure Under the Dark Fist actually had an option where the main villain gets pulled to Ravenloft and has a domain contained within a crystal sphere.

Re: Cyre 1313 The Mourning Rail domain
Having reasons the train needed to stop but that nobody could leave for people to end up onboard and whatever repair crews wouldn't bail on them was part of the problem. I guess one way would be for part of the retinue of the Last Passenger to be extremely loyal warforged that are out "supervis...

Re: Devils and Demons in Ravenloft
There is actually a printing press in Sigil that is housing part of the essence of an evil diety and it loopholed its way into Sigil despite the ban on gods. I believe it was mentioned in In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil. Kind of surprised they never brought that up again.

Re: Devils and Demons in Ravenloft
Assuming you manage to destroy the phylactery for the fiend, it would be permanently slain barring a wish spell or artifact being used or similar high powered option. Outsiders/Fiends brought to Ravenloft are fully dragged in, thus the creation of the phylacteries. (See Van Richten's Guide to Fiends...

Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
Between 4th and 5th, I suppose not. Further back than that, I am given to understand that the Mists were in the Deep Ethereal, not the Plane of Shadow. This is correct, the Demiplane of Dread is located in the deep ethereal. For the Planescape view on it (limited though it is) the "A Guide to ...

Re: "Domains of Delight" in upcoming 5e adventure
It could easily be an unintended reference. But also they know what they're doing. It's hard to ignore that specific phrase when people have already pointed out the Isolde/Carnival connections. And I think more importantly, personally I wouldn't put it past WotC to try to make Feywild "domains...

Re: Looking for Ravenloft / Masque of the Red Death RPGA Mod
Oh wow, that's actually a great idea! I'll follow up on that, thank you! And yeah, I agree. I'm not sure why the RPGA modules aren't there either. I wonder if WotC was aware of the demand, if they would be willing to release them? If I remember correctly it has to do with how they wrote the contrac...

Re: Cyre 1313 The Mourning Rail domain
I assume it kind of builds its own lightning rail line as it goes kind of like the Headless Horseman's road superimposes itself over things. Having it show up in Mithras court and derail itself by hitting the damaged train blocking the tunnel there could be an interesting "help the darklord acc...

Cyre 1313 The Mourning Rail domain
So... anyone have any ideas how to actually use this thing? There are basically no details and due to the very nature of the domain, it doesn't really make much sense to have it interact with other places. The whole point is the continuous flight from Metrol, so it can't even be like it stops to pic...

Re: "Domains of Delight" in upcoming 5e adventure
As a note, someone did point out there is a carnival on the cover art and furthermore Isoldes new backstory has her trading her Old Carnival for the current one she has... Could this be connected vaguely in that direction? Food for thought. The people running it appear to be the ones from Isolde's ...

Re: Looking for Ravenloft / Masque of the Red Death RPGA Mod
It might take some legwork but sometimes if you can locate some of the authors on social media and message them they are willing to share them.
I really wish they would put the old rpga stuff up on dms guild like all the current convention stuff.

"Domains of Delight" in upcoming 5e adventure
https://comicbook.com/gaming/amp/news/dungeons-dragons-wild-beyond-witchlight-synopsis-revealed-feywil/ Given the text from the back of the adventure it sounds like they are making something along the lines of the Domains of Dread but for the Feywild. "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adven...

Re: Learn the basics of the ravenloft setting as a whole?
Wizards is hardly known for making products with correct stating either. Their collector's edition of the D&D cartoon came with a short adventure and stst blocks for the heroes and their weapons as well as Venger. Excper Venger's build doesn't qualify for the archmage prestige class he has.

Re: Learn the basics of the ravenloft setting as a whole?
(8d12+5d8 hp for mummy clerics etc). That was wrong?... Oops... I guess the d8's are turned to d12's is the answer. No, the cleric level hd would supercede using undead racial hit die as far as I'm aware, otherwise things like kobolds with their dragon hd would be ridiculous as spellcasters. I'd ha...

Re: Reconciliation
If we're pulling from an alternate dimension Ravenloft you could always pull one from the Forgotten Realms 4e playbook and have the affected domains swap with eachother. Not that I think 4e FR was a positive time for that setting.
