Café de Nuit

With this background, I would at least consider going for the full Pinocchio line you seem to be mulling: the Twisting is slowly turning him into a "real boy," at least physically. Does he want that? If he lets it go to completion, would some kind of ensoulment also occur? How would he kno...

This one was mine, so I suppose I might as well respond! Unlike most of the other SoS articles I've reviewed, I really feel like this entry needs more added to it. The most notable thing that is lacking is monsters. Grab those sea wolves (from QTR #20) and “scalies” (from QTR #21) and throw them int...

This is an idea that has always intrigued me. I'm surprised I've never seen any attempt to explore it. There are darklords that don't give a hoot about political power and wouldn't even mind. Whether through conquest or otherwise, I'd love to see a place where the domain borders and the political b...

Currently running a once-every-two-weeks campaign with my family (dad, sisters, brother-in-law, nephew)--not in Ravenloft but with a very Ravenloft vibe.

Erik van Rijn, huh?

Yeah, we might do something with that, after all these years.

I don't think I'd do a whole domain for her, but La Belle Dame San Merci would make a pretty great NPC if worked up well.

Elves? Um...prancing about the woods sipping wine and festooning the trees with brightly colored ribbons? Being unjustifiably arrogant and supremacist? You could always dig into Tolkien. There are several tragic stories involving elves in his writings. Just off the top of my head, the Noldor's obse...

Dunno if this is quite what you were looking for, but I wrote up Saarkaath--a domain of orcs and half-orcs--for the Book of Sacrifices.

There's the Captain of the Mists prestige class, from the Zherisia Gazetteer, too. Not that that speaks directly to what the Church of Ezra does, but it does offer a way for PCs to avail themselves of others' expertise for Mist-travel (and is especially relevant for active trade routes). I was under...

Hi i've Been making maps and i stuck in one of my favorite clusters that is Nuova Aragona...since it doesnt have a map and i can't transform this scenario so i was wondering. Hey, Guardiani. I'm glad you liked Nueva Aragona; it was my first ever Ravenloft article and it's still near and dear to my ...

I had a LOT of notes on Hazlani astronomy at one point, if you're interested in that as a supplementary option.

The original Fraternity of Shadows writeup (in Domains of Dread) specified that all the members must be able to cast illusion spells, and that the leaders were all illusionists. Under 2e rules, that meant no necromancers and the leaders can't cast necromantic spells. When I did the netbook writeup, ...

This thread might be useful? Here's my take on Harkon Lukas in a modern Gothic Earth setting to give you an idea of what people were doing in that thread: Black Luke (born Harold Lucas) is a former rock-and-roll demigod, one of the most popular performers of his era. After a long and successful rec...

If you're up for non-canon, I wrote a short adventure set in Mordent in Quoth the Raven 15 ("The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea").

The idea that Falkovnian=German, High Mordentish=French, and Low Mordentish=Anglo-Saxon/Old English is...actually, I think it's been around a while, but it's specifically and canonically referenced in the Gazetteer series, where each Ravenloft language is given an equivalent (usually a real-world eq...
