Café de Nuit

Looking for tips and experiences from peoples own games. Have you ever done anything with Scaena... While I have not done anything with Scaena yet , I have been planning on using it for one of two options. Option A) Have the PCs enter a theater for the purposes of watching the show and use an old m...

Depending on how much your players know, isn't the *very much alive and not secretly a lich* king of Darkon ostensibly non-evil? Yeah, the player has been playing in Ravenloft for about 20 of the last 25 years. He knows Azalin is both evil and a lich. His PC, does not. He has stated that if approac...

Thank you both for the help, the 'funny' thing is I am aware of Janos from the CoTN: Golems book, but so are my players. They just dealt with that adventure last Halloween even though they are in the Greyhawk setting. Unfortunately, Janos did not make it, but what are you going to do? You can take t...

Hello all, been awhile since I've posted. I am picking the brains of the hive mind. A player of mine is looking for a high level (15th+) mage on the Demiplane, preferably not evil (I know). So I have a short list of the darklords who qualify for high level, but without digging through every adventur...

Did you check out the Gazetteers?

In my interpretation of the Core, I have merged the islands of terror and most pocket domains into the Core as to make one larger setting where most places can be reached more easily (at least somewhat conventionally). Paridon has been placed at the juncture of Richemulot, Borca, and Mordent. The Mu...

You could also make some assumptions from Soth's stint in RL. Nobody in Krynn mentioned that Dargaard keep had vanished, though it is mentioned as abandoned - so the Ravenloft version is another copy. Though this gets tricky due to the disagreement of Soth in RL. In the novel, Knight of the Black R...

When I plan an adventure series, I try to plan on a setting to get the PCs to about 4th or 5th level. I ran a Barovian campaign in small town where the PCs were kind of the 'go to' people for the village. They eventually were 'hired' by agents of Strahd to do some investigations in Borca, but got pu...

no time for a detailed reply right now, but: - the standard advice is to include Chicken Bone (from RLMCII) somehow - another frequent suggestion is to comb the FoS Souragne Gazetteer (available in our Library) for useful tidbits and added flavor I used Chicken Bone to replace the Vistani reading i...

I checked both videos out earlier. Very cool. If it is alright, I shared it on a AD&D forum on Facebook.

I once had my group make camp, go through the night, and wake up in a completely different locale than where they were. They had no idea what happened outside of the 'Mists retreating' as they woke up, had to find their bearings, and had no clear reason why they were transported. My reason? I had no...

And we are back in traditional fashion and bringing back the dead threads as usual! But more likely I have a situation that may dictate some refined touches that you all can solve. I have a fairly high level group (between 8th-12th level) and one of them happens to be a witch (as per the 2nd edition...

I knew Blackchapel is a reference to London's Whitechapel district, where the Jack the Ripper murders took place… but which parts of Paridon reference Paris again? ^^; I would say the easy answer would be the extensive sewer system, but too be fair the city of Paridon existed before it was combined...

From reading the prior posts I'll set some rules for myself * No live exhibits * No super stuff, all mundane * Limited space * Some congruent with a early Victorian England. Note: I just realised that Paridon is a combination of PARIs and lonDON. These are good and I am squeezing more in now so the...

A while ago, I had an idea that might fit quite nicely into the Museum of Paridon. Behold the tale of Melubat the erinyes ! And I recommend reading the replies, which made some excellent points. ^_^ Not a bad concept, agree with the points others make/made, but I am not putting in for a few reasons...
