Re: Ravenloft Without the Core

Honestly, aside from playing the original Ravenloft with Strahd modules, and some other Ravenloft Core adventures in the first version of the box set, I've never cared to stick with canon on any published setting, always preferring to go my own direction and homebrew the rest of what I need. All sub...

Re: Vote Ravenloft in Wizards 5E Elements Survey

I voted for Ravenloft (and Birthright as well as Spelljammer), though I'll probably never play 5e - I voted for community support reasons, not that I really care if WotC does anything at all.

Re: Working on a gothic horror old west setting (Gothic West

Jonathan Newell's first one-shot module that he is writing for Gothic Western is called The Unclean Brand . Ranchers in western New Mexico are loosing their stock to cattle rustlers in growing numbers, and the adventure party has been hired to investigate and catch the culprits. Following the trail ...

Re: Working on a gothic horror old west setting (Gothic West

Interest is spreading like an aberrant contagion! Jonathan Newell on the CBG.org - campaign builders guild (who goes by Steerpike), though only as a single non-creative job with an RPG publisher in the past, has been a long time developer of very creepy settings and adventures as homebrew only poste...

Re: Working on a gothic horror old west setting (Gothic West

While I didn't have plans to bring in freelance writer/designers to the project, since I was planning to do that myself, Mike Riter, a new published freelancer expressed great interest in help designing for a Gothic Horor Old West setting. He's already designed a druid variant, as the Texas Ranger, ...

Working on a gothic horror old west setting (Gothic Western)

I have previously posted a Pathfinder magus archetype called the Shootist , and I am at this time working on both a one-shot module and some setting materials for a gothic horror old west setting with some steampunk elements called Gothic Western . In some ways influenced by Gothic Earth and Deadlan...

Re: Silent Hill style horror in a Ravenloft game?

Well I did state, "I heard this was true", but I've neither played the video game (I don't play video games) nor seen the movie, so I'm not making any real claims. I can be honest in saying the only video game I ever played was for a map commission job, playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfa...

Re: Pathfinder v 5e

Well, I think I have a good eye for PF balance, so it really isn't work to get that accomplished. Any of the traits, feats, spells, haunts, class archetypes, and alternate classes created in Kaidan are considered by most of the reviewers very balanced, even going as far to say that Paizo material of...

Re: Pathfinder v 5e

Yeah, I'm not here to discuss rules issues or differences in systems. To me which rules are best for your game is completely subjective - and rules system even those not d20 based are viable options for a Ravenloft game. For my point of view, as a game designer, I'm not interested in inventing a new...

Re: Pathfinder v 5e

While I empathize with your point of view, I did not state that WotC was not creating some kind of license allowing 3PP participation - so you stating that they likely won't open themselves up to an OGL (they in fact continue to do so in alternate form). To be fair both 4e and 5e has some kind of 3P...

Re: Pathfinder v 5e

Probably having nothing to do with the differences in rules, for me the biggest problem I have with 5e is the same problem in 4e, WotC still haven't worked out a good license for creating 3PP products. I know there are a number of 5e 3PP products out there, but there seems to be a dance on how best ...

Re: Sentient Magic Items

I didn't notice that, however, since PF is based on 3x, despite 4e being largely a different animal, I think a conversion of magic items from one edition to another isn't as serious of a difference as the difference between player classes in either edition. Also 4e, as far as I know, due to the natu...
