Ravenloft waterways poject

I, being a great boat lover, have always felt that RL inner waterways are sadly underdeveloped (for seas we have QOTR9). There is the great Musarde river, Arden, Vuchar... lots and lots of miles to explore. And all we have is River Dancer and Nathan Timothy's Virago. What about river harbors, encoun...

Re: Toben the Many? o.O'

I remade Tobens infectious aura, as it kind of ruined the game for me. So I made him retain the aura, but the effect was just possessing the individuals and giving them Toben zombie appearance/thinking etc. Toben could be exorcised from possessed victim by successful turning undead. Possession laste...

Re: Some doubts about Falkovnia

4) If all Falkovnian natives are branded on forehead with the mark of the hawk at their birth, do such characters as Ivan Dragonov, Hildegren and others carry it too? If so, why doesn't it appear in any portrait of those npcs? Do Falkovnian spies carry it too? If so, how can they fulfill their secr...

Re: DarkSun-style domain

In some Dark Sun book it was stated that Kalid-Ma in dragon form was killed by several other sorcerer-kings. There is not much info about Kalid-Ma: there is some in Wanderers Journal (ie. Dark Sun Revised Campaign Setting), in module Merchant House of Amketch and in Psionic Artifacts of Athas. Plus ...

Re: How do you see Drakov

A warlord like him that can not wage a successful war once in and a while doesn't seem to be much trouble for the people of other lands to concern themselves about. Kim Jong-Il has never conquered anything, but he's a scary bastard. Drakov just has to convince his neighbors that he can take them, a...

Re: Drakov and seige engines

In canon materials, have Drakov's invasions of his neighbors failed because their armies defeated his or because the Darklords defeated him with supernatural powers? Both? Sure, in RL there are basically no forts, however, some cities have walls. So in my opinion - Drakov has all kinds of different...

Re: Drakov and seige engines

My explanation for Drakov not using gunpowder is that warfare with gunpowder is completely different from medieval style warfare. To change from one style to another requires whole different mindset, strategy, tactic, equipment etc. So for Drakov it is simply VERY big step to take and get adopted to...

Nice adventure hook

I stumbled upon a nice Ravenloft theme anime, rather old (so maybe some of you have already seen it), that is simply great and can also be a good adventure hook.

That reminded me:
compare Daniel Emilfork( http://data-allocine.blogomaniac.fr/mda ... ilfork.jpg) to Vjorn Horstman picture in Children of the Night - Werebeasts (page 78 ).

Pretty much like twins. Or clones.

If they need only some modifications, they are good enough. I usually change the story details a bit anyway.

So thanks a lot for briefings!

Death Unchained/Ascendant reviews?

Hi, I couldn't find any Death Ascendant nor Death Unchained modules' review. Can anybody who has run the modules find some spare time and write here a short review? Not a summary of whole module, but rather what's good, what's bad in the modules, some changes you've made, preferable twists, is the p...

I've made it once. PCs got a "weekend in paradise" in Forgotten Realms with lots of high magic, elves, deep dwarves, aquatic elves and gods.

And the charcters still haven't recovered from the shock of homecoming to Ravenloft :twisted: .
