Café de Nuit

I'm pretty excited about this and a lot of it sounds like good stuff though I am sad that Soth probably won't be included.

So it looks like the first session of this is finally happening this Sunday on the 30th but my one slight concern is the number of players. Its at a gaming club so there could be as many as 8 PCs which is around double what they recommend I think all starting at level 3. So I am just wondering if an...

Good stuff thanks so much! I have heard several times now about the Death House, Old Bonegrinder, and the Coffin Maker encounters so not surprised this review/tips says similar things.

Hey everyone, I looked around the board and didn't see this thread for this, but maybe I missed it. Basically though, it looks like I'll be running CoS in the near future, and I have been reading the adventure for months now taking notes for whenever I would run it and planning for it, but figured I...

The way I see it the GM's word is pretty much law. He certainly can and should ask if everyone is happy with his rule change and should be willing to not go through with it if his player's are unhappy but in the end it is his decision. If he keeps making poor decisions he won't be a GM long anyways...

If the rule(s) is/aren't working for your group then I say change or remove it/them. However, I think it must be a unanimous decision among the players and GM. If someone disagrees with the change, then a different approch must be taken. We once had a player that strongly disagreed with a house rule...

For music nothing beats Nox Arcana in my opinion. You can get their albums cheap and they are all absolutely perfect for Ravenloft. Their albums span the gamut and can be used in any Ravenloft setting.

I just wanted to share this with everyone. I had an artist from Deviant Art draw this for me, and I absolutely love how it turned out. The artist is Dave Holland, and the site you can find him on is www.unmedium.com. I'm actually getting a 16X20 version of it, but this should show you enough of the ...

Yeah it's just not meant to be given their personalities. Of course that doesn't mean Strahd will ever stop trying. I mean let's be honest, you want what you can't have.

Well I really like this idea. I'm definitely not a 4th edition person, but the idea of expanding everything and making it a richer environment to play in really appeals to me. With all the details added in, it will be easy enough to use our groups 3.5 rules with your updated setting. :D If you need ...

I do like the manifestation idea instead of it being a summoned monster. Yes Pumpkinhead is a tool of vengeance. Basically if something horrible is done onto you, you can call upon this witch to summon Pumpkinhead to get revenge on those who wronged you. Ultimately, those that wronged you will be ki...

For all of you that have seen any of the Pumpkinhead movies: So the thought popped in my head while watching the first movie last night to create a Pumpkinhead monster for Ravenloft and I guess for general 3.5 D&D. He/it wouldn't be very hard to make, but my question for everyone is what CR woul...

Is PotM still relatively hard to advance in level? I remember trying it out and not being able to do anything on my own except kill rats. I also remember dying resulting in a very severe punishment in getting XP decreased. I also had a hard time getting help as I knew nobody that played, and everyon...

So I just picked up the book on Amazon for $17 in like-new condition. The weird thing is that the next lowest price was $50, and then $192 and those were the only other two copies available. I found none on eBay. Was I crazy lucky and this book is really going for that much or is it just a weird coi...

Does anyone have any suggestion on mini use for a game? The D&D Miniaturegame minis are so expensive and I have a hard time finding pewter or the older Reaper minis now that a game store chain (Gamers Paradise) went out of business by me. Is there an alternative that anyone uses? I'd like to fin...
