Café de Nuit

Yeah, I haven't picked it up because it's only really useful for Curse of Strahd. I use the normal 5E DM screen and use the old 2nd edition Ravenloft handouts of the various Darklord lairs and just use paperclips to hold them on to the screen.

I'm not sure I'd ever use it, but it's certainly a novel approach with a lot of promise. (Not really a psychic prison, but you know what I mean; a prison of the personality, the s...
