Café de Nuit

Having something of a fascination with this series, I went to see the remake tonight. When the credits rolled, my reaction was 'meh'. I didn't HATE it, but I didn't LIKE it. :x I'm not gonna say it didn't work. There are no glaring flaws. Jackie Earle Haley does a very convincing and very distincti...

The Basic D&D red boxed set is a great starting point for a 9-yr old interested in RPGing.

I ran the AD&D2e adventure Night of the Walking Dead using WFRP2e and it went extremely well. Have you flipped through a copy of the Old World Bestiary ? That might be able to help you a good deal on your issue with critters. Don't sweat coming up with a curse mechanic. If you, as DM, deem a cha...

Anyone here try HMB? If so, what are your thoughts on the game?

I don't like 4e.

Will anyone here be running a Ravenloft game at Dragon Con this year?

Hi all. First post in this awesome community. Not sure if this should go into Roleplaying Games or General Forum . I got a bunch of 3.5 books borrowed from gaming buddies so I can plan a Ravenloft campaign for them. I'm still homebrewing the system (wich will likely come as a mix of True20 and SW S...

Anyone here ever game using the HarnMaster system? If so, what did you think?

half-demon/devil/insert lower planar creature name here (a la AD&D MMII Cambion) and other such critters were meant as NPCs to use as foes of the heroes. Check out the Planescape Campaign Setting boxed set from 2nd edition. Tieflings were a PC race there. Dragons were a PC race in Council of Wy...

Has anyone here ever used the HarnMaster system for the Ravenloft setting for a tad more combat realism and less high fantasy feel?

I recommend Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay2e for use as a system in Ravenloft. WFRP2e has a dark, gritty feel, Old World feel that works well for the horrific setting of Ravenloft. Combat is dangerous , spell casting has its perils (Tzeentch's Curse) that can easily be explained as corruption by the Dar...

My ignorant outsider's perspective was mostly shaped by the preview booklets they put out early this year. It didn't seem much like D&D to me. It seemed like a vague approximation of D&D, more or less indistinguishable from any generic fantasy-themed online game. None of it persuaded me tha...

The lack of credible creativity movie-making is spreading.

I ran Night of the Walking Dead using Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2e and it worked great!

Self-discipline consideration for your players is a good place to start. By giving up too much too soon, you do your players a disservice by not allowing them enjoy the tone of the game and basically handing them whatever it is you planned for the PCs to discover on their own in due time. Don't beat...
