valachan

I reda through teh domain descriptions and can't get a clear real world reference idea from this country. the Gaz mixes american natives with Swedish names and black panthers set in Norway/Canada-ish country. And the Darklord is just plain weird. Can someone give me some background insight on how I ...

For simplicity, base the whole bocklet around a single domain. Barovia I'd say. Barovia enthails all that is essential and classy about Ravenloft campaigns. Of course, mention that there are many other lands, but to start, Barovia will do by far. Mention the classic elements of Ravenloft: Typical mo...

Ravenloft in the old days was simple and straight foreward. A treat for players who like it that way and a relief from all the complex stuff. But those of us who started that way have evolved with teh game, have searched for more background and I for my part was enjoying reading and re-reading the g...

Heretics

In this dream he saw what really happend when Ezra spoke to the mists and offered herself to them: She commited sucide. She sacrificed herse...

not being into japanese horror whatsoever I never got my players into Rokushima Tayoo. But this material you've written is very enticing. Could you work it out the way places are presented in the latest Ravenloft core book? That would be absolutely fabolous.

how's Grimm?

I crossed Grimm RPG d20 on the net and seen a thread about a spinn-off on this forum. Fairy-tales gone bad sounds nice to me. Has anyone played the game, read it and used it in something else (Ravenloft domain ruled by Rapunzel)? Give me some short ideas on feel and material of teh RPG please. Thanks

The whole thing just needs more depth now, but I'll leave that to the players. I'm also considering translating some spells, erm, rotes. (darn difficult tiping with a baby o...

magic... how?

My troupe and I 've been playing Mage for some time and entered D&D for the first time. We find the magic system, storywise, lacking. How do magi learn magic, new spell, how do they cast them, any druid can use the same spells? Does a magic missile always look the same or does a wizards personal...

very clear pictures and mood drawn here. but I want to avoid overuse and overdose. The misery soon becomes common if mentioned that often. The blinded child playing with the two broken pieces of a doll, the girl in with the turn brides dress, the crying in man under te cage holding his starving wife...
