Oh well :) What you didn't like in i[ Dance of The Dead ]? But I can admit the point of view was often a little girly :) Joël Not girly. Sappy. Sentimental. Sometimes this can be good. Vampire of The Mists used it to good effect in the right places. Rona Jaffe's Mazes & Monsters is a sappy, sen...

...and, as an aside, the audio book of I, Strahd by P.N. Elrod is one of the coolest because it was performed by Roddy McDowall! :shock: Where to get? I bought mine when it was a new release, so I got it at a retail book store. At the time, audio books were released only on cassette and the I, Stra...

The one thing that grabbed my attention was him saying thaat he would rather play CoC, as the characters had more of a chance to save the world. That's the thing that had me scratching my head. CoC, and the works of HP Lovecraft, were all about the insignificance of man in the cosmos. The Elder God...

If I am contracted to write more RL material and it's appropriate to the project, I'll weave in some of the ideas I have for the development of the domain and the characters--as I did with the memory mirror and the Blessed Knight adventure hooks in the Dragon article. (Such plot hooks were, in fact...

What do you mean by "piece meal"? (btw, shadow fey ruuule, it's sad you threw out the rift, aaah :P) I don't know about Legends and Lore supplements, please elaborate on this. PS: Welcome to the boards Lord! :D 1) Piece meal: The lands of canon RL are stitched together like Frankenstein's...

The White Wolf Tarroka is probably the best iteration of the deck to see print. The designers were smart enough to know that the deck itself is a PROP as well as a gamemaster's tool. So, there were no logos and every effort was made to get the deck to look akin to an old tarot deck. Fortunately for ...

I discovered The Black Box in the shadowy corner of a favorite used book store one grey, rainy, depressing, unemployed day well over 15 y...
