Café de Nuit

Well, the fact that no one can agree for Dominic seems to tell me that Dominic is based on no one. He's probably based on an archetype character, and that archetype being the classic manipulator, which appears in numerous stories from The Bible to Othello to Wall Street . I don't buy that Azalin is ...

Interesting topic. 8) While some of this parallels are spot-on, I think you might be reaching for some. Toben the Many based on Lecter? I could see that in the web enhancement (again, why it wasn't included to begin with). However, I think he stands on his own in the Walking Dead Guide. There's alot...

We already have a mechanic for dealing with that problem: Powers Checks. How many of the darklords slowly turned into slavering beasts? None? Instead, you could say that the benefit of failing a Powers Check was to turn one of your basic class levels into an advanced class level. An interesting ide...

Personally, I like the d20 Modern system alot. I currently run a campaign using that system and it's turned out pretty well. I do know that many people do not like it because it's essentially the D&D system watered-down. Why play with only a poor substitution, in their minds, when you can play w...

Anyway, Toben had kind of a Hannibal Lector thing going on, didn't he? Oh definately, that might be my one quibble with the otherwise excellent enhancement. The Lecter thing has been so done to death already. Precisely. Which is why I left it out of the original guide.... The new monsters seem slig...

I realize that the author of the thread has probably gotten what they need out of this, but I just wanted to respond, since I've recently run a number of war scenarioes. In my recent d20 Future war campaign, I had the characters all members of a special forces unit. I specificially instructed the pl...

Well, I haven't heard anything. Of course, that doesn't mean anything. I'll let you all know if I do hear some news. Unless I'm barred from doing so by pain of death. I'm just hoping that I can get one more specific book in. It was an idea that I've been pushing since 2001, and if we keep going it t...

To answer the question about modules - the powers that be have explained that modules do not typically sell well on the market. Thus, no new Ravenloft modules have been planned. Now, before people start pulling out the "corporate conspiracy" card and bemoaning that the gaming industry is b...

As the DM, you always have the power to say, "No." The best time to say no, by the way, is at the very beginning of the campaign. Right up front. If you say no in the middle, or after you begin, the more likely you are to get bulldozed by your players. I usually give my players are narrow ...

Actually, what I said was, "If you are looking for Red Death in the Phillipines, you need to look for Masque of the Jade Horror, which I'm working on right now. It's set in Asia." I did not say that it would specifically feature the Phillipines. I do not know if it will or will not. It wil...

I'm working on this project, and some of what people are guessing here is accurate, and some of it is not.

Interesting.

My big peeve is the sorcerer though. I think the idea is great but with only 1 extra spell per level and a horrible spell progression the sorcerer just sucks. Not so, true believer! In both of the Ravenloft campaigns I've run in 3.0 and 3.5, the sorcerer has been the MVP of the campaign. :) Alot of...
