Café de Nuit

If you want to let your Star Trek campaign be more Ravenloft, you could let the bold crew of the USS Ezra explore a mysterious, unknown nebula which turns out to have it's own set of natural laws (quite similar to the Xindi Expanse from Star Trek Enterprise), the main being that you can't leave it e...

There were 4e domains? Maybe I blocked them out because of ...well...4e What 4e did to the Forgotten Realms was hard enough for me.

Updated some domains on pg.4 (Darkon, Hazlan, Sithicus, Nidala, Minossos, Seven Hills, Richemulot, Borca and some other minor alterations).

Added another map to my original post on pg.4 (The Core's Cities, Waterways and Roads, but without names)

You're welcome
Added the 'reconciled' Carnival.

William Blackmoor, if you have a backstory for this domain already, please feel free to ignore this, but since I do love The Creature from the Black Lagoon, I had to offer a story. (...) How does this sound? It hit me suddenly so it may not be the best, but I like the general idea. As I only had a ...

Made some updates to my first post in this thread.

Very impressive work so far, Mr. Blackmoor! I look forward to seeing the fleshing out, especially of the new domains - Omphale sounds very intriguing indeed; do I detect a subtle blend of Classical Mythology with African elements? Thank you :) Classical Mythology yes, african elements no. Omphale w...

The New Core of 760 BC (aka 'The Heart') This setting assumes that the VRGtR shows the Ravenloft Setting in the last year of the Time of Unparalleled Darkness, which was brought about by the actions of the Gentlemen Caller and his Children, most notably the Dukkar Malochio Aderre and the machination...

An idea for a darklord: Maybe the wer-curse of the old darklord didn't die with her and her slayer 'inherited' it in a sense? Maybe the wife the hero took / the mother of the current king was the were-hyena's secret daughter? She learned from her mother's mistake, that she couldn't rule the humans b...

The Beekeeper At the start of the 20th century Sherlock Holmes retired to a small farm on the Sussex Downs, becoming a beekeeper. What even his faithful friend and chronicler didn’t knew was, that Holmes was conducting chemical experiments on honey, especially the gelee royale of the beequeens, rese...

Hello, just read the pdf-Primer and seeing that Germany is now 'Ground Zero' for the second intrusion of the Red Death I thought that maybe you are interested in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wewelsburg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(occult_symbol) For Imhotep it was a pyramid, the Naz...

Merry Christmas or Frohe Weihnachten from Germany

Elminster, Alustriel, Drizzt Do'urden, Wulfegar and Shandril- shortly, all those power-stuffed goodi-goods from the FR, add anyone else you wish - are drawm to Ravenloft. Face it, these characters have been drawn into something far worse than Ravenloft: The Realms of the 4th Ed. As some of them see...

for those interested, the source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091011/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_mexico_apocalypse2012 One of them is Monument Six. Found at an obscure ruin in southern Mexico during highway construction in the 1960s, the stone tablet almost didn't survive; the site was largely paved over ...

And you might consider, that the mayan 2012 prophecy doesn't necessarily predicts the end of 'the world', but the end of 'a world'. The 'clock' just sets back to zero (and maybe starts to tick again). So maybe in Gothic Earth this might lead to the 'End of the Read Death's hidden reign' opening the ...
