Café de Nuit

I mostly use skeletons and zombies because they can challenge the players to around tenth level. I'm thinking of using a zombie lord, I love the concept of the raise dead gone horribly wrong.

The one I'm most proud of was of my own design. In it, the main villian wanted to punish the pc's and a village that had sheltered them. So he had a minion poison the well that the village used. It was a fragile poison, only lasting for a few minutes before turning to water, but it did effect one ...

It's the only domain I know almost nothing about. I've searched high and low, but to no avail. Please help me.

I know it came from Athas, but I don't know the darklord. What did he/she/it/they do to deserve darklordship? What is the curse?

Negative Van Richten would be a vampire himself. Posibly the darklord of his own domain. You could still have darklords, just everyones personality is opposite of what it should be.

Negative Azalin would be a paladin. Or a cleric of the morninglord or ezra (the lawful good sect)

Negative Godefroy ...

I like eberron. A lot.

I think some of the material could be adapted for ravenloft (a mournland domain with the Lord of Blades as darklord, the warforged could be all that's left after an ancient war).

But some people tell me I'm crazy. Perhaps, but I still like my ideas.

How about you?

The black thumb of the Elven vampire is a good idea, except this is a corrupt noble, who isn't likely to care. The animals attacking him might also be good, but Chauntea deals more with plants, and growing things. Good ideas, though!


Actually, while the black thumb does kill plants, it also ...

Well, since she is the goddess of the world and nature (I think.) You could say that as he harmed nature, nature will harm him.

Give him a specter's unnatural aura, but instead animals in the radious attack him.

Give him the black thumb of an elven vampire.

Finally, have the trees themselves ...

Sorry, I forgot about Misroi's dance of the dead.

Yep, he can use the dance to cast any necromancy spell at CL 18. But the dance takes him one minute to perform.

I don't have access to any ravenloft products at the moment (local bookstore sold them) and I only started D&D in 3.5, so I had to do a ...

Well, hee's what I would have...

Morgoroth of Avonleigh: A high level wizard Rank 3 ghost

Yagno Petrovna of G'Henna: Cleric level 12

Elena Faith-hold of Nidala: Expaladin 5/Blackguard 10

Maligno of Odiare: Carrionet Rogue 5

Shinpi Haki of Rokushima Taiyoo: Gheist fighter 12

Ladislav Mircea of ...

(Hrtofdarkns: I think you're thinking of the akikage.)

Yeah yeah, thats it!

Designing paths of corruption is hard, but you can do it!

I can't remeber exactly, but it says somewhere that a failed powers check should at least in theory make it easier to commit the crime but harder to concel it.


It depends on the type of assasin the pc was. Was it a stalk from the shadows supprise hit? If so, you could make a path of the... the ...

Sadly, by the time I got in to ravenloft and other campaigns, the kargatane was already gone. I wish I could have seen it whole, and not just the burnt-out shell it is now.

Well shucks, I appreciate you FOS. Even though I don't run a true ravenloft campaign, I use your ideas a lot. Thanks for all your hard work!

I like the idea of the npc netbook. I have a few ideas I've been kicking around in my dreams and nightmares...

Something like this happened to me recently, but on a much smaller scale.

Last monday my water-heater exploded, flooding my house in about 2 inches of water. To get it out we had to leave the doors open and scoop it out. The carpets started to mildew, and about a million flies apparently thought ...
