Café de Nuit

I really have no intention to buy the PHB II. The first one is sufficient for me. Besides, isn't the point of tabletop RPGs to encourage folks to branch out and use their imaginations? Seems to me that stuff like the DMGII and others of its ilk are nothing but minutae that provide an out for lazy fo...

Hey...'Carcer'...I'm guessin' you're a Night Watch fan, then? :wink: Romanian is, in fact, a Romance language--closest living language to Latin, as a matter of fact. However, it has a whole lot of Slavic mixed in--basically, it's like speaking Latin with a Russian accent. A lot of their synonyms are...

I completely agree. The folks of the 4077th are and ever will be counted among my heroes. And, in truth, I believe that humor's place *is* as a defense mechanism, especially in a setting such as Ravenloft. In my own campaign, for example, my players of course joke and laugh--that's part of the fun o...

I lived in Transylvania for the better part of a year and a half, and in Wallachia...and I can tell you that Romanians have a really hard time with that 'th' sound. Make it a hard 't' And though it may also sound 'German', 'w' in Romanian is, in fact, pronounced 'v'... Though I've got no idea how yo...

Alternatively, with a willing and adventurous player, you might have one of the *player* characters disappear, perhaps kidnapped by the nefarious ...

Hm. I've considered adding trains my own self...I think it's a great idea--as is the Old West/Grand Central idea. 'Course, if I do this, I will get mercilessly teased by my players, who already pick on me for being obsessed with Victorian era tech. Then again, they already pick on me about it, so wh...

First, allow me to admit that I only know enough about HPL to snicker at Cthulu jokes. :roll: However, I'm familiar with his general themes...and I think it's a difficult aspect of horror to play nine times out of ten. Let's face it, very, very few of us have ever been exposed to the kind of alien h...

First, allow me to say I'm a brand new registree, but have been lurking about the site for some time. Wonderful content! I'm so glad to find a good source of RL material... Now, the topic. And no, I do not mean spoof/parody/welcome to Douglas Adams' world in Ravenloft. I've just begun a RL campaign-...
