Café de Nuit

It looks like the old RAVENLOFT-L list still has all of the stuff on Draconis. RAVENLOFT-L was the old email group from way back when, and ORACLE-L has archived copies of everything. Here's some basic links to help you a bit: Google listing for "ravenloft" + "draconis" specifical...

The way I see the Eternal Order, since they placate the Dead, it's not unlike the Greeks sacrificing to Poseidon before sailing off to sea, trying to placate him to avoid a bad storm. Or making sacrifices to Demeter to ensure a good harvest, or alternatively to placate her to avoid a poor harvest. O...

Besides, if the Eternal Order already know all the dirty, kinky secrets of the faithful, Azalin wouldn't have to bother throwing those twisted parties of his. :wink: I've always seen Azalin's parties as being for a different reason than for accruing blackmail info, which Azalin should be able to ge...

The Eternal Order is a syncretic religion, blending the death gods of many different faiths (i.e. Wee Jas, Myrkul, Hades, Arawn, Kiaranslee, etc.) into a single pantheon of aspects of Death, and focusing on the appeasement of death and the undead. (At least based on the description from the Death/R...

Personally, I want to see an Eternal Order monk styled on El Santo. Fighting vampires with drop kicks - awesome. *Gasp* Do I see a reference to Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter ? :shock: Not exactly. You see a reference to my brain lesion ( Luche Libre En Darkon - Viva El Santo! ), which refers to the ...

I've been thinking of this lately. And come to the conclusion I would start again fresh with Ravenloft if I was given the choice. A complete and total restart. (snip) So I'd just make a new Masque and provide the rules. A dark fantasy world, possibly more akin to Midnight or a dark Forgotten Realms...

Oh, so the Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons doesn't come out until Feb 8th. Good thing that I asked my local comic shop to put it on my list, as I'm sure I would have forgotten about it by then...

Well, I wouldn't like to spoil your enthusiasm, but (...) (bottom lip slowly thrusts out like a glacier crushing the landscape) Oh, well. I was hoping that there could be some weapon-variability, rather than just the "huh, all picks are the same, all axes are the same... huh, [this type of wea...

Were full or partial game-stats for S ever decided upon, BTW? I can't find it now, but in an old thread reviewing Gaz V, Mangrum gave S's stats. IIRC I believe it was Expert 3 / Wizard 2. He also gave a link to his own website, where he had his sketches of what he pictured her as, but I don't recal...

EDIT: And you're right, I can't find any confirmation of Chezna. I must've confused speculation with confirmation. oops. (snip) But anyway, I don't believe that Chezna has any Vistani blood and so don't believe that she's a Child, but I'd have to go check "The Awakening" to confirm that s...

Looks like it's gonna be raining criticals, folks: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20080104 (snip) Check out the stat-list on the war pick, BTW. "Prof. 2"? "Category Pick"? Again, with the teasers! This is the most delicious teaser to me, especially the Column mark...

It's likely the hour, but this just occurred to me. From the 2nd page of this thread, in the original hints: * In my personal notes, I considered Gazetteer XIII a good place to end Ravenloft Third Edition. Particularly since D&D 4th Edition would likely be approaching (or here) by then, were RL ...

But we do know that Malocchio has been to Falkovnia in the past (as he drags Gabrielle there). He did?!? I missed that. Where does it appear? I knew that he had the potential taking a domain lord out of his/her domain, but I didn't realise he had done it. Whoops... Check Gonzoron's post: Sounds lik...

But Azalin would probably have found himself irked by this move of S's, since he wouldn't be able to get her back to fulfill his real plans for her. Hmm...I may have let slip more than I intended there. How annoying is it when you blatantly drop a hint like that, only to find out that people like m...

I thought Chezna was confirmed as the Gaz V GC child? I could not say on that point; I can only say that I've not seen it confirmed (though it seems to be the consensus choice of the board as a whole) and that it's not made it to the Fraternity's FAQ, in any case. If it has been confirmed then I ap...
