Café de Nuit

I forgot how germans mastered the gothic spirit. I just watched Nosferatu: Phantom of The Night, and the opening credits' atmosphere is just the kind that I'm looking for.

I always draw from this amazing game's score . The Hollywood and Chinatown theme songs make for great overall background. Sometimes I put straight hours of Creepy Music 1, 2, 3, etc (those are the names in the list), which make the creepiest and most involving things I've heard my entire life. I not...

Sociopathy is amazing research material for darklords, imo. I don't think they can be true sociopaths, though, like the chick in the reddit story is (great link, btw). Darklordship demands the gothic feel, the redeeming aspect. I mean, take a look at Dexter. The tv series had to bland it out and tur...

What the hell? I can't read this. Oh, there a creepy l...Gahhh! << me going "gahh" for the first time in my life. Never knew how it felt! lololol

I felt exactly the same thing. I think the soundtrack was paramount to my immersion. Music's always a big part for me. It can ruin a good movie or save a bad one. Anyway, I think the storytelling was nice. The strength was not in the plot itself, but the dialog and coaching was awesome. The director...

I consider myself psychologically prepared to watch any scary movie or somewhat inured to most horror techniques (or maybe I never watched a quality flick capable of horrofying me after my infancy). But I gotta say, that movie made me scared when I finished watching and walked the house to grab a bi...

Far darker (and dare I say “more mature”) than our hardest RAVENLOFT products. That's a point where I forgot to add. If we're talking about an average game, I would call RL more mature because it deals with human psyche losing it's structure in a more clinical, psychiatric and twisted way, whereas ...

In my country, you're introduced to RPGs either by D&D or VtM. If D&D is the King, VtM is the Queen. So I've played both. Two of your stereotypes are somewhat accurate - they are LARPers and gothics - at least the hardcore ones (and I don't mean this in a derogatorying manner). Vampire is co...

It was around 1998. I was the veteran GM and had a high fantasy campaign for some time, when one of the players decided he wanted to GM a campaign also. We started it in this high fantasy, greek-like world he made from scratch. This lasted for a few months, and our characters were chasing the major ...

The effect was somewhat spoiled by the fact that I dressed up as Anton Chigurh, complete with godawful hair. >_< ROFLOL Reminds me of He-Man and my childhood. lol For me, the greatest problem with incorporating sex into a dice RPG is that you can never quite get the thought out of your mind that yo...

You know, I feel like stealing Red Jack's coins or calling Brum from under a tree... er, or the other way around, in my future campaign. I like to think of fey as "the woods' evil spirits". I like that kind of murky definition, where elves, dwarves, goblins, elementals, beasts and even gho...

If you want to stay true to the setting's Gothic traditions, there must be a sense of decorum to everything. Even the most vile and repulsive subjects are to be described in an elevated and subtle manner. I think I understand what you and BBQDaddy mean. Actually, what you said is exactly what I'm t...

About sexual content and players' possible traumas, I'm wanting to apply lately a more realistic feel on the subject. I don't intend to make it one of the focal points - I would if it brought interesting plot hooks, but that's not what I'm talking about - what I'm saying is people tend to deal mainl...

Mistyping my name is no big deal. It happens. Especially since it's a rather new name (it's supposed to be Japanese, but kanji doesn't have an equivalent of the "L" phonetic and it's often replaced with the "R" phonetic). I guess you and Rotipher are right. Thinking back I did p...

So, here's what all this taught me-- * If you're a player and you run into something that really , truly bothers you, chances are your DM may not realize it. DMs are clever, but not mind-readers. My DM turned out to be an amazing guy for handling this, but it would have never happened if I hadn't t...
