Re: Using the Fraternity of Shadows in a Ravenloft campaign

I'm actually using the FoS as the villains in my current campaign. I like your ideas, but I promise I won't steal any of them! :lucas:

Re: Dark Powers

Normally, I just have the Dark Powers as the nebulous puppet masters of a tiny slice of the multiverse in which they have absolute dominion and are in control enough to keep out anything and anyone whom they don't want sullying their playground. In my current campaign, I decided relatively late that...

Re: Quick Survey for DMs (any edition)

The party has currently taken over an abandoned asylum in the ass end of nowhere as their base of operations. They keep running into the expected...problems that come with a place like that, but for most of the campaign, they've either been crashing at various Ezra-ite outposts or fleeing the enemie...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

It also helps that the Paladin is pretty simple-minded (INT of 8 ) and trusts his companions a bit more than is probably healthy, though not so much that it strains the boundary of plausibility. I swear I am not trying to cause a problem, but wouldn't various levels of duplicity be detectable by Wi...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

Up until this point, the party dynamic has worked out well enough, as everybody but the Paladin and Cleric has either perished tragically or quit adventuring to pursue other interests (mostly the former), and most of the characters the other players roll up start with the best of intentions only to ...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

So...how long do you think a Paladin of Ezra, and one of the greatest champions the faith has seen in recent years, can remain in denial about/ignore the morally deficient actions of his adventuring companions? With his fellow Ezra-worshiping Cleric's machinations and valuation of expedience and com...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

Say...is there a canonical (or semi-canonical) destination for the Oak of Screams ritual mistway? Nope. The only reference to it I can find is in VRG to the Mists. Apparently, legend has it that it will take you wherever you like, but no one has ever come back to say if it works. I can't help it: I...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

Say...is there a canonical (or semi-canonical) destination for the Oak of Screams ritual mistway? It's something the party will want to investigate if they catch wind of it, and since a couple of the members run in darker circles, they'll probably hear about it when they start looking for shortcuts ...

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

That's definitely an interesting idea. The players haven't run into any paka as of yet (either in their true form or disguised), so I may need to accelerate their introduction because your idea is a fun one.

Re: The relations between Mordent, Dementlieu and Richemulot

Offended? Nah. Mad as all get-out? Heck yes. :evil: Nah, not really.

I understand your point, and I guess we're probably just working from different directions of "culture." I certainly won't deny that we here in the U.S. have had a great deal of influence from the U.K.

Re: The relations between Mordent, Dementlieu and Richemulot

I just had a gigantic aneurysm when I read that the U.K. is apparently the cultural center of the English-speaking world. :evil:

Re: Suggestions and questions for my campaign

Well, the foe ended up being a hit (literally and figuratively, with a third of the party perishing thanks to poor tactical choices), so thanks for the suggestions! Now, there's something else I'm having a little trouble thinking of: a LN Cleric of Ezra has been one of the player characters since th...

Re: I need suggestions for a draining-type attack

I'm having trouble coming up with a good justification for anything to have telekinetic ability in this particular campaign. None of the players have tried out a psionic character yet (despite this campaign's high mortality rate) and they haven't run across anyone who's demonstrated such a capacity...

Suggestions and questions for my campaign

***EDIT: Rather than make a new thread, I figured I'd edit and update this one as a general catch-all for when I'd like input from the fine folks here at FoS. I definitely appreciate anyone's help they wish to provide! Basically, one of the chickens the players raised early on the campaign is finall...
