Café de Nuit

OK..Good Old Frankie is not so nice in Gothic Earth as in some of his theatrical renditions, but he is just as pitiable...and he has always been one of my all time favorite characters in fiction!

Congratulations all! HAHA! Looks like there have been a lot of changes since I was lurking around in the shadows of the forum. I've missed this community, even if the Mists drew me back against my will!!!

Nemesio at your service!

This is a damn good explanation.

I second Mephisto of the FoS’s comment!

Thanks sooo much for the feedback SkiBird!!! I just figured if I'm going all nuts, I may as well share in case others could make use of my efforts! LOL I have a few sources to thank for this one...

Hello there shadow folks! I'm back to share some more obsessive non-player character adaptions with y'all! This time I'm trying to flesh out a few of the big baddies for use with the 5e Masque of the Red Death Player's Guide. I highly recommend it to fans of the setting and 5th edition D&D! Thos...

One of the issues with people thinking Tatyana was a blonde is that Virginia Weathermay was a blonde, and the cover to I10: The House on Gryphon Hill (i.e. the above picture) showed Strahd carrying Virginia's unconscious form. A lot of people seem to have mistaken her for Tatyana. Wow! Thanks for c...

"A natural beauty in her late 30s, Tara Kolyana has a creamy complexion, full lips, a gentle face, expressive emerald green eyes, and auburn hair, highly unusual traits for an ethnic Barovian." -Gaz 1, pg. 144 "Ireena, a striking young woman with auburn hair, has been bitten twice by...

It's also worth noting that there's a 3rd reincarnation of Tatyana running around in the contemporary era: Kristina von Zarovich, who reincarnated on prime material Barovia and was featured in Roots of Evil (my own personal preference is to have Kristina be the current generation's "official&q...

Player here, I don’t see why the Dark Powers couldn’t create a “Tatyana” that looked exactly like her (since Tara doesn’t look quite like her at least hair color wise right?) I mean there are many “soulless” husks running around in that module, maybe it’s someone else’s soul in this form of Ireena....

Wow Dion! Countess Astrid Von Zarovich what a trip! I'd love to know what all the PCs were playing in that campaign!

Ha! Yah, me too! The Gazetteers rule! So much work went into them. But then again, a lot obviously went into CoS too. Its well written, but obviously created to be an homage and stand alone.

Cool Ender. Thanks for your response. So you are saying you would just avoid using Ireena Kolyana, who had lived hundreds of years before Van Richten, according to older Ravenloft products and substitute Tara as the reincarnation in CoS?
