Favorite Module
Not sure if this has been done, if so sorry.
With all these Ravenloft enthusiats, I was wondering which module you liked and why?
I really enjoyed running Bleak House. The asylum gives the opportunity to truly enspire terror. My players were of a higher level and believed that they were superior, that is until they were mentally tortured for a few days.
Bleak House is of a length that gave me the opportunity to put together a couple of sessions. The players really enjoyed interacting with Richten. The module gives a great look into the character of Richten.
What I enjoyed most was the puzzle aspect. My players prefer a hack and slash approach, the built in mystery of the house allowed me and the players to really feel out an evening. The thinking required forced them to push themselves.

Castles Forlorn was fun for me. We really didn't run it out of the box though. It was more a backdrop that worked nicely for the game.

Everything about the game, from the mechanics, to the artwork, to the layout just screams creepy, creepy, creepy at me. I love it.

I loved The Created mainly because at the time I had a mosty munchkin group and it was a hoot to watch the normaly 19 str barbarian strugle to lift a butter knife and be smacked around by a teddy bear.

Night of The Walking Dead
I just love zombies, I lean towards amping this one up a bit though, The encounter in the storm with the zombies being revealed in the lightning has a strong impact, but it was a hit and run in my opinion. I would really like to do it again, but stretch that scene out for as long as I can.

Bleak House, first part. Simply great. Mindgames, being subject to twisted mind "cure", and and the feeling that you're constanly monitored...! It took several and several sessions to play, players really hated dr. Dominiani and were totally afraid of next "therapies" and "lobotomy", that was only whispered about.

Ditto here. Evil Eye is a must, as it has all that makes a great RL adventure: no dungeoncrawl, and the adventure doesn't end with the PCs killing "the boss".gonzoron wrote:The Evil Eye is my all time favorite. It's such a sprawling playground and a uniquely Ravenloft location. With some great NPCs and background story. Very fun.
Other favorites are: When Black Roses Bloom, and the Created.

I must have played night of the walking dead countless times and have really fleshed out the detail on it. I used several NPC's from various sources like the werecroc from children of the night: werbeasts , chicken bone the voodan from the monstrous compendium, uncle skeleton from the internet and good resources and map from the modent society. Dramatic atmoshpere is easy and effective, mine included a frog chorus CD, a fogger, plus licorise treats for players (at the appropriate times in the story). Also a macabre dinner with covered platters etc. was a good break from gaming during the zombie meal scene. for extra effect have them sit on the table top for a raft like effect (don't try this with portly gaming friends or cheap furniture)
I enjoyed dark of the moon, the created and touch of death as well.
The nightmare lands was alot of fun and had endless possibilty. unfortunately my gaming group went their ways before bleakhouse could be used.

THe combined: From the Shadows and Roots of Evil. I'm against the use of Darklords in adventures but I loved these.
Night of the Walkind dead also is one of my favorites. I really can't decide between FtS and NotWD.

The Nightmare Lands is my favourite. The whole atmosphere of dreams and not knowing what's real and what's a dream, completely freaked out my players, and they loved it all the way to the Grieving Cathedral..
Also other Favourites: The Price of Vengance (the first module I DMd) and The Evil Eye.
