Café de Nuit

Organs are/have often been associated with certain physical and mental traits by many cultures. Perhaps the Gentleman picks the organs he harvests based on these qualities, and he targets someone who strongly exhibits these traits? As an example, the liver has variously been associated with: -the da...

Perhaps she was his maidservant and mistress? I find it... disturbing. Suffer not the furry to live. :azalin: ''The prettiest one I made. My very favorite little pet." I think this is a good idea. Reminds me of that Markovia adventure, where if any of the PCs show interest in the girl in Dr. F...

Maybe some monster pigs? Markov was a butcher after all and his depravity could still be causing physical mutation to the livestock in the area. Maybe the cult feeds its ground members to the pigs and that mutates them? I don't know, but some mutant pigs (more bestial and animal like than the broke...

A halfling darklord/domain could turn a normally harmless love for hearth and home on its head by turning said love into a militant paranoia against perceived threats to that status quo. Like something that motivated weeding out elements that were perceived to threaten that status quo (adventurers,...

On the surface, I'd likely say yes. If you felt the hag might be powerful enough, you could maybe have the shaman make some kind of a check for it to work. If you'd like to avoid having that spoil things, if the hag knows there's an Abber shaman, maybe she uses polymorph instead of an illusion spell.

A new player I picked up wants to play a dwarf which is normally fine but they are headed to Falkovnia. That is a land that enslaves dwarves. Any ideas on how to pass him off as human? Disguise him. Everybody knows dwarves have beards. Get a razor and some lather... Get him some custom-made boots t...

I don't give Azalin any control over it. I never liked that bit. As a poster noted above, the Black Box is clear about how it works. Outsiders lose their old memories and come to believe their families have lived in Darkon or in neighboring domains for generations. The whole idea has gotten pretty ...

Interesting movie, thank you. I noticed the floor is sand, and it may ease stopping and turning? Would they have the same 180 degree manoeuvrability on hard floor? And to complete : what is the maximum angle of turn in a move action an unskilled rider could do? Does a 90 degree turn every twenty fe...

Also, what is the manoeuvrability of a horse moving at 40, to make a 180 degree move? Rider has to use a move action to stop the horse and turn back ? (Otherwise the horses’ kneecaps will explodes :) ) Ok, I'm late to this thread, but I'll post this as someone who has ridden a lot of horses from th...

I kicked about an idea for a dwarf and dragon domain in which the dark-lord was a dragon who had been a dwarf but was cursed for his greed. This was inspired by Fafnir. I never got further than that, though. ...imagine being a dragon who is too big to get past the dwarf-built traps designed to keep...

Interesting, but I find the Kargatene version more of my taste. If that's the version I'm thinking of, I originally liked the idea when I'd read it but over time I soured on it a bit. I just felt it was...too human?...for something that felt more eldritch horror to me. YMMV of course. Have you cons...

So as part of a larger project of collating all the various dark lords and domains I've taken a liking to from canon and non-canon sources, I'm touching up or editing some of the details (especially on some of the canon ones with little or no details) to bring them more in-line with the general aspe...

The first, most obvious thing to me would be a better understanding of physiology and anatomy as evidenced through bonuses to any healing abilities he uses. There may also be something of value for a doctor in having non-corrupted knowledge on performing basic grafts and transplants, and the knowle...

I have a couple questions for some details or clarifications that might help. Does this player use his doctor skills in play? If I understand right, the basic knowledge Karl discovered is a super-advanced version of surgery involving grafts, transplants, etc. Is that correct? The first, most obvious...

Thank you all for your ideas and questions. I think the real issue that's coming into relief is, what kind of message would need to be sent by this code that could not be sent easier by just telling someone in private? Why would you need to tell someone your status in the cell--wouldn't they just k...
