Café de Nuit

I like the water bulge idea.

Again ty for all the opinions. I did the power check and he failed, so there is no going back on that. The Paladin had his horse trample the evil npc so it wasn't the horses doing. I'm really glad the Paladin killed the evil npc. I wanted to see the response of the party to something horrible and th...

Thanks for some of the quick replys. It happened at the end of the adventure so I have time to plan this out before the next one. I will put him on the " path of the brute. " he will lose some looks and gain strength +2 and I will additionally take away 2 Charisma from him. I will leave hi...

I'm a new DM in RL. Our campaign is just getting started. The players have no idea what RL is all about. To some it up quick, the DPs have sucked the players into Barovia. The players are not sure what power checkes, horror checks etc are. The Paladin had to do his first power check. It was for murd...

We play in my basement. It is real nice because there is poor cell service down there. No incoming phone calls or text messages. I do notice one of my players starting to play with his phone a bit during down time too. He did make me laugh though because he played the mortal combat theme when we wen...

This is a very good thread Desdichado. I was going to start my own, for I am also starting a Barovia campaign with lvl 3-5 player characters. They have no experience in RL. So I've been following this thread and will be using much of the suggestions listed.

Vampire Hunter D

Not sure if anyone mentioned D. But I really enjoyed it.

Salems Lot was the first book I ever read for pleasure. It scared me and it kept me in the horror genre.

I was always affraid to get stuck in the mud up to my armpits and then having the insects slowly devour me.

I know they used to have deck of wizzard or priest spells back in the 2nd edition. Do they still make those for 3.5?

I placed my order for my starting package for RL. I ordered: Ravenloft DM guide, Ravenloft PH 3.5, Denizens of Dread, and Gazeteer v. 1. Looks likeI'll try Barovia.

Thanks for all the advise. Looks like I'll start playing early in 06.

Korath, what kind of setting appeals to you? Standard fantasy with a dark edge (Darkon), medieval with fear of the dark and all that is inhuman (Barovia), social and advanced with intrigue and advancement (Dementlieu)? There's a huge amount in the Core alone for different settings. Bloody Morgan I ...

TY for the prompt replys. This is the best site I've seen so far for my research and the forum seems fairly active.

I've been playing D&D for many years now, mostly forgotten realms. I really want to get involved in Ravenloft. The research I have done tells me to buy the following books: Ravenloft PHB 3.5 Ravenloft DM guide Ravenloft Gavetteer Denizens of Dread Is this a good starting package? What other reco...
