Because of course I have an errata to my errata: I meant to type "dread snow beast" instead of "dead snow beast". If you would be so kind as to fix my fix, please.

Merci beaucoup, Joël!

An excellent point. To Ron and Joël! Raises a glass of G'Hennan red.

Re: Languages in Ravenloft

Tears of Translation? What's that? That sounds fun. (Love some alliteration, too. :P ) From Quoth the Raven Issue 30, p.124: Tears of Translation The so-called tears of translation are a magical potion which eases communication for the user. Drops placed in both ears allow the user to comprehend la...

Re: Languages in Ravenloft

I've run three short Ravenloft campaigns. In the first, the characters were not only native to Ravenloft, they were native to Darkon, so languages were already accounted for. In the second, I had a mix of native and non-native characters. Because the campaign started months after the non-natives had...

Re: QtR 30 Errata

Gah! I left out a site from the text of my survey of Sanguinia (even though it appears on the map). If you could, please insert the following entry onto p.90: Caresh A village on the slopes of Mount Radu. Generations ago it was threatened by a dead snow beast until the beast was slain by a local her...

Re: Latest site updates

Especially since it shows up high in the list of topics whenever it gets updated, yes, I agree that it's still useful.

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.

2ed stats are not my cup of tea but Ian Work will be a base for me to work on when, soon or later I will have to write Pharazia, and G'henna for the Mistworld. My only complain with this two, @IanFordam, is that I greatly prefer the dichotomy Devourer/Provider. I will have to rebuild the Provider's...

Re: QtR 30th issue is out!

The Mistipedia page is also up. Please don't take my tongue-in-cheek descriptions too much to heart, I'm operating with a tired :Brain:. :wink: If the authors of the various entries would like to update the description of their own work, that would be lovely. https://fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/Qu...

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.

So I think its fair to say we can declare Ian Fordam's domain work as canon, cause that amount of quality must be made official. Pharazia especially is a beautiful expansion of NeoTiamat's Pharazia, with plenty of love to old-school dnd and Al-Qadim. I declare it the standard and mold by which all ...

Re: Quoth the Raven #30 reaction thread.

G'Henna, Pharazia, Sanguinia, and the Adventures set therein: Ian, please accept my compliments. Not only did these Gazetteers show a love - and extensive knowledge - of the 2e source material, you created two thrilling adventures that tie in nigh-seamlessly with that very source material. The Sang...

(Note: To non-psionicists or psionicists who prudently erect their Towers of Iron Will, this song is usually perceived as an extended remix of John Cage's 4'33" instead.)

Re: Favorite Published Adventures

Thanks for the responses, folks! I had not expected the love for Castles Forlorn or Feast of Goblins , but of course learning about the unexpected favorites is why I asked my question. I'm also happy to see attention paid to the shorter adventures from Children of the Night and Chilling Tales since ...
