Café de Nuit

:) I am a French contributor AND I've heard of Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne stories. I've been planning on reading them for a while, but now it's at the top of my list! Especially since there's a city named "Touraine" in Averoigne, so I think that someone at TSR might've been interested...

Thank you, Speedwagon! Quite a few of the works I reviewed are on sale until the end of Halloween. If you had to ask me if there's any that I'd call "must buys," they'd be these ones: One Night Strahd, the Red City, the Barovia Gazetteer Collected Edition, Captain Snowman'e Guided Cruise ...

Just wanted to say, Libertad, that your work reviewing all of these DMsGuild products has been wonderful! I know that with Halloween fast approaching, there will always be a slew of Ravenloft content being made. So your reviews have been great in figuring out what might work for my games and has bee...

Although I own "The Real Devil Strahd" and other Mistfactor Press products, I'll admit that it isn't their best work. Well, compared to their Darklords & Domains Encyclopedia (volumes 1 and 2) which I use for 5e conversions of domains that might not be covered in the work of Jester or ...

Thanks for the thread Ian! I haven't had the chance to run too many modules as written or with modifications, but of the ones that I did, my PCs enjoyed their heavily-modified version of Thoughts of Darkness . It was really just Thoughts of Darkness in all but name as I changed the major details of ...

I may have found a real-life example of the Falkovnian Giant Soldiers: The Potsdam Giants , Fredrick the Great's Dad (also named Fredrick) regiment of 'giant soldiers' (a little bit over 6ft which was impressive at the time), and was over time filled with giants sent over from other monarchs such a...

Amulet of Memory can probably protect people's memories in Darkon. As in, you store the real memories there and retrieve them once outside. I like it. I was also thinking that someone like Dominic D'Honaire or the Living Brain could use that item for their mind games with each other through proxies...

Don't worry, all is well. And more stuff from another source will be added soon to the list: I don't know if it's too late or not, but I submitted my articles for QtR just now. If it is, I understand, but if not, then that's cool! Sorry, was away traveling the last two days. Please send again as di...

Just so you know Libertad, "Allies Against the Night" was created by one of the Fraternity of Shadows very own members: Jester of the Fraternity of Shadows! He's also made a DMsGuild product giving statblocks to prominent Darklords and evil NPCs in Ravenloft ("Who's Doomed---The Lords...

Revised list of what we have so far! 70 Domains and Nightmarescapes (domain ideas) By Jack the Reaper Six Persons of Ill-Repute (NPCs) By Jeremy16 Red Like Copper (adventure) by Ian Fordam Sanguinia (domain) by Ian Fordam The Mist-Borne Post (new courier idea) by Ian Fordam Nayyif al-Tawil and the ...

I have submitted Blaustein, and if I can ask for a couple of days more I will submit Tepest too. Sure! Ahhh! I realize now that I never sent my stuff, so is it bad if I send it tonight/tomorrow morning? I know this sounds like a student asking for an extension (and it totally is) but I don't mean t...

Little late on this (since submissions for QtR are due tomorrow), but another potential giant: The Davana, a type of asura descended from the primordial goddess Danu and an ancient sage Kashyapa, they are said to have been exiled from the world by the devas, and have hated them ever since. They are...

I like the concept! And I'm also happy to say that there've been some ideas proposed before on a similar train of thought, in this thread here: https://www.fraternityofshadows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11122 (I forgot that I made this thread last year, so if this feels like a shameless plug, please...

The problem with the Shadowborn Cluster, at least the way I see it, is that Elena Faith-hold sucks all of the air out of the room. (Don't worry, I'll present some solutions to this issue below.) By far, she's the biggest personality in the cluster and the first one that PCs are likely to ever hear ...

Those immigrants will forget they are immigrants pretty soon... As for names, I may suggest something a bit controversial: Use ChatGTP. A prompt like this would do the trick, I think: " ChatGTP, in the Gothic Horror world of Ravenloft, give me 20 male names that would fit the Domain of Darkon....
