Re: CC2 map of Mordent

Same map, Heidelburg-Normal font. It's probably embarrassing how excited I was at being able to use to right font. Mostly it was cos I'm not hugely tech savvy, and it took me a while to work out

Re: Alternate Core Expansion

I was thinking post-independence Africa/Caribean (is there an ex-German Colony in the Caribean?) I can't remember the false history offhand, something about the Vaasi? but I imagine a revolution against the colonists, led by von Kharkov. Given the variety of skin tone suggested by the gaz, I'm leani...

the kristhomas's map collection

I made a map of Mordent, based on the original map from the black box, with the following info added Heather House and Gryphon Hill from I10 (their locations based on their relation to each other and Arden Bay from the map in I10, I'm pretty sure the distances are a bit off, but if I'd tried to work...

Re: Mordent and Dementlieu timeline question

I always thought D'honaire v the Brain to be a fairly static setup, they're quite evenly matched at the status quo, D'Honaire can't get operatives any closer to the Brain and the Brain can't really expand without risking his established territory. My thoughts would be to add a third player, Madame G...

Re: Meredoth

From what I remember of Mystaran liches, there is no way to become one other than by accident or as a immortals curse, there is no ritual to be researched. There are several, the House of Klantyre is ruled by a specific type, Prince Macgregor is a Radiance lich, a high level wizard who attempted to ...

Re: Ravenloft Without the Core

This kinda how I imagine the Demiplane during the GC with the core torn in chunks. Then when it got put back together bits were missing and there were pieces still in the box

Re: Alternate Core Expansion

I did not get south american, caribean maybe (but then maybe I'm splitting hairs) I always thought more post colonial african, but I suppose the main reason for that is that I always assumed von Kharkov to be RL's Blackula (It's a real film, times have changed)

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel

A series that I find solidly RL in feel, this BBC fantasy drama concerns the rivalry between two magicians as they attempt to herald the return of English Magic. Set in the Regency it is closer, in costume at least, to the more civilised core domains, and the settings of the misty moors of Yorkshire...

Re: Meredoth

I think only Hazlik would serve, Lichdom is never sought in Mystara, it being the result of failing an attempt at true Immortality, likewise Strahd would remind Meredoth of a Boldavian, who only achieved their prowess thru pacts with the Alphatian traitor Immortal Alphaks

Re: Black Box Falkovnia

I like the idea of him trying to breed a better slave, this might be completely non-RL in tone, but if you bred multiple demi-human breeds over generations, choosing those most suited to labour to breed, and brutalizing and torturing them within a militaristic society, might you not get orcs? or som...

Re: Alt- Gundarak

I get that you're changing things, but isn't Medraut an outlander? or are you saying that gundar comes from the same prime as Tristen? sorry if i'm not understanding. IMC we played out the death of gundar suggested in Feast of Goblyns, with some adjustments. My version of Gundarak, was based on the ...

The Great God Pan and the Arakan Fey

So I finally got round to reading Arther Machen's The Great God Pan recently, and immediately began trying to think on how to utilise or adapt the ideas and conception of the faery from that work to the fey of Ravenloft. My initial thoughts, A scientist, probably Mordentish with a Lamordian educatio...
