Café de Nuit

took a quick look through the domain list looking for any we'd missed... The Shadow Rift: Primariliy Celtic fairytales (although I caught some Brothers Grimm fairytales creeping in ,in Gaz V) L'ile de la Tempete: Has a french name, but I don't remember enough about it to say more. Markovia: Well, Dr...

Lamordia is based off of Switzerland, as Lamordian, at least in the Gaz #2, is based off of the Swiss dialect of the German language. Right! I knew, I was confusing the language there. And the Alps map to the Sleeping Beast pretty well. As well as the reputation for precision clockworks and crafts,...

Oops, forgot Odiare which is directly stated to be from Gothic Earth's Italy.

Alright, let's do the easy ones: Mordent: English countryside Dementlieu: Urban France Richmulot: Rural France Barovia: Transylvania (movie version) Borca: Italy Sri Raji: India Har'akir: Egypt Rokushima Taiyoo: Japan I'Cath: China Sourange: Louisiana Tepest: Ireland Forlorn: Scotland Wildlands: Afr...

Thanks for the correction on Hilda. Frankly, I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did. I wasn't real fond of that adventure. I don't think both seas in one book is a stretch. Gaz I has 9 NPCs in the back, so does Gaz II. Gaz III has only 6, oddly. Gaz IV has 8. Gaz V has 8 (11 if you count the Ha...

Great job. you might want to fix the link in the "What do I need to play?" section, though.

From the top of my head, so I may be off on some details: The Shay-lot is a race of undersea creatures roughly analogous to Lovecraft's great old ones. The Hilda Borganov adventure in CoTN:Werebeasts introduced them. Hilda was a cult leader worshipping them in a coastal town in Darkon(?). As a rewar...

Heh, does anyone ever believe Timothy's "yawn, I was just sleeping off in the woods while those nasty wolves attacked. Did I miss anything?" routine?

I liked g'henna moving out of the core. The starvation theme didn't really work well when it was right next door to Falkovnia, the breadbasket of the Core. If you moved it back, I would put it out to sea, with dangerous shoals preventing shipments of food getting in. Is Sourange really on 6 miles ac...

hehheh.... I had a feeling I might be jumping at shadows. Thanks for the correction, John.

Not a child, per se, but I think I just stumbled on a possible GC reference in Gaz II. page 24. "In the weeks precedding Azalin's return, Tavelia [Kargat vamp and cleric of the Overseer] engaged in incresingly odd behavior, eventually announcing her upcoming marriage to a gentleman she refused ...

This might be too late, but here's a few things you might do with it: Never too late until after it's over. :) - Children of the Night: The Created had a mechanical golem possess a house and an adventure based on it. The cosmopolitan culture of that adventure might not work in Falknovia though. Yup...

Well, I've let your ideas stew a bit and I think I've come up with a direction to go in. I also read up on Cube and 13 Ghosts (haven't had time to rent and watch them, but I definately want to see Cube sometime.) I'm thinking the Gears is ALL of the things that have been mentioned. (No, this isn't a...

The climate fits the moors of mordent, but Sourange's just too big to nestle hidden in there without pushing mordent proper out to sea.

Kislova is also written up in one of the Kargatane Books of S__.

Went through the exisiting FAQ and found a few things. You've probably noticed some of them already: "What do I need to play" makes no mention of the MM or Denizens of D__. I suppose you could play with no monsters or even animals at all, but it would be unusual. You also might want a ment...
