Café de Nuit

I disliked the railroaded morality pet kid/ghost (Marcel?)

I'm probably going to write up something more detailed on my blog, but how would you guys make a domain based on Geoff McKinney's Ravenloft? :arrow: Sorcerers already a lot of vile stuff so I can only see one going over the line to Darklordom if a sacrifice was a close relative (but then again one r...

The best way to bait a party is to appeal to the players' sensibilities. What are the characters and the players like?

I like it.

1d4chan has trouble accurately describing 4chan(nel), the fact that it messes up with FoS is no surprise.

Some of these currency names are a bit too on-the-nose.

While most of this forum (myself included) likes to play Ravenloft as a serious setting, reading through some of the modules reminded of the gonzo fantasy aesthetics of stuff like the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. I mean consider the following: The Awakening has a cat apocalypse caused by a mummy and ...

I thought killing 2e and ushering 3e was enough payback against the Dark Powers :p

Thanks for the clarification. That's a shame though, Netherese stumbling through Ravenloft could be an interesting scenario.

I don't know how many of you guys read Forgotten Realms stuff but there's a period of time in the setting's distant past when magic was insanely powerful (11th-level spells) and humans created an ultra-magical empire called Netheril.

My beef with the use of the word in Ravenloft is that 1) it...

If I were to use Vistani, I'd run them just as normal people. Much of the "magic" would just be simple herbalism and alchemy unknown to other cultures. Seers would be very much like wild psionic talents or dreamers (from Dragon magazine). Prejudice in Barovia would be because they had acco...

Thanks, ewancummins and Gonzoron

Sort of but not quite on-topic, I'm most likely going to be writing a paper examining Ravenloft's Vistani compared to real-life Romani. I was already considering analyzing I6, Touch of Death, The Crucible of Dr. Van Richten, From the Shadows, and VR's Guide to the Vistani, are there any other materi...

Thanks for the answers! but i must say i'm not agreed with you about punishment, mainly because i did not explain myself with proper words :D Sorry for misunderstanding you. On reactions (all the ones above) can i ask you how would you describe them ? some (short) example? (let's say the orog/elf/c...
