Café de Nuit

Overall, I like it!

I consider it a straight reboot of I6 ("Ravenloft") and would therefore run it in 735 BC. That said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with messing with timelines. In fact, that's probably a better choice than slavish adherence to "canon" timeline for the sake of maintaining "...

I remember that film giving me nightmares as a child, in the early eighties. Haven't seen it since, so I don't know to what extent it has stood the test of time.

Nitpick: It didn't advance the timeline so much as roll it back. Azalin blew up Darkon in the Requiem. He just never returned and now the land is vanishing. What happened to him is a big mystery, but one we'll never know the answer to. Is it plausible that VRGtR may in fact be set post-ToUD, and th...

I've been meaning to ask for a while now, but... what exactly is DMs Guild and how does it work? Do I understand correctly that you can present fanmade material there without incurring the wrath of lawyers? And if so: how so? Here's the "how so": https://support.dmsguild.com/hc/en-us/cate...

You can download a free preview PDF from the Kickstarter page and judge for yourself.

Wow!!! Awesome stuff!

Picked up volume 1 a couple days ago. A lot to go through, but I'm loving it so far. One of the coolest things is that they have included histories and statblocks for every known darklord, past or present, for every domain! Nice! I'm usually more concerned about quality over quantity, but sounds li...

Thanks for sharing your impressions, FiranDarcalus.

I may have to save my pennies to order hardcopies someday.

Has anyone here purchased either or both of these two volumes? If yes, what did you think of the quality? https://www.dmsguild.com/product/389818 ... 0zqkYHbGkk

I might even go with Souragne for Ghosts of Saltmarsh instead of Mordent.

It's interesting to see WotC's approach to D&D canon back when 3.0 was on the verge of being released in 2000, as per Ryan Dancey: https://www.enworld.org/threads/wotc-on-canon-whats-the-difference-from-3e-in-the-year-2000.681773/ I especially like this quote: First, the amount of knowledge that...

WotC's Chris Perkins has just published a blog post going into the subject in a bit more detail: https://dnd.wizards.com/dndstudioblog/dnd-canon

I'm looking forward to this one, just because it has the potential to be so different from more typical D&D adventures. I'm especially intrigued by the way the encounters will be designed, as one of the Witchlight campaign's main features is that it can apparently be completed without ever havin...

At a media press briefing last week, WotC's Jeremey Crawford clarified what is and is not canon for D&D. Novels and non-5E products are officially considered non-canon for the development of 5E D&D products, though the latter may draw inspiration from older game products and novels. https://...
