Re: Carnival campaign ideas?
^^ Using the Carnival as a homebase might be a neat shtick. A lot of potential there. [I'll admit that I'm aware of, but not terribly well read on, the Carnival] If I had to rough out a carny-based adventure I would go with something like: -The PC's join with the carnival ... only to find that their...

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
^^ Looking forward to it. I don’t know the first thing about what goes on ‘under the hood’ when it comes to editing pages, but I’m sure there are enough FoS guys floating around to make the chore seem less onerous.

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
I've been diving pretty heavy into the Mistipedia pages to help suss out some of these connections ... It's been pretty neat to discover/refresh my memory on this stuff. *** Most of the call-backs are fairly easy to spot (particularly if the name has not changed), but I guess it might be a bit of co...

Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
Call me crazy, but I prefer the new Falkovnia from the old one ... Simply assume Azalin had enough of the foolish merc and sent his endless hordes. Drakov's curse blocked him from winning ... and he was quickly killed ... I was thinking along those same lines. The zombie plague could be connected t...

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
An NPC list would be helpful, but I’m also after the more obscure references. No name, just a vague description (like the murdered actor’s ironic death).

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
Martira Bay. Specifically, the unprecedented number of serial killers operating there. The Midnight Slasher. Likely a retread/transplant from the Karina-based Invidian mad(wo)man described in the Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium II. The Spider , the Weeping Woman ... no clue. Anyone out there see some...

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
Adventures in Darkon. A string of murders occurs near Redleaf Lake and somehow the dowager Damita Adler is involved.
I haven't the faintest clue on this one. No part of this is ringing any bells for me. Does anyone recognize this one?

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
These should all be gathered up and entered into Mistipedia somewhere. In time, this thread will just kind of fall by the wayside, but this is the kind of data that Mistipedia was presumably created to document. — onmyoji Totally agree. I figured that until someone edits/creates the pages in questi...

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
Nevuchar Springs, the famous Cascana Sanitarium, whose patients emerge 'psychologically changed.'
No clue on this one. Brand new, perhaps?
Cascana/Carcosa? A stretch, but maybe a cross-mythological nod to The King in Yellow?

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
The writeup on Idlethorp in Mordent contains a reference to the ruins of Punchinel Manor.
More info on this can be found in Children of the Night: The Created.

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
The writeup on Sturben describes a Faceless Court (and they appear again in Borcan Adventures, item #4). There is enough overlap that the FC is likely a progression / updating of the League of Nine (which, as near as I can tell exists only as unpublished notes from Gaz IV) The two groups are differe...

Re: VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
Mordent Adventures, item #6, lists Westcote Manor (and an accompanying curse).
This is detailed in the 2nd edition module, Howls in the Night.

Borca Adventures, item #1, lists Nostalia Romaine in an adventure seed.
This is, of course, is the emordenung detailed in the 2nd edition Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium II.

VRGtR: Call-backs and other Continuity Nods
Hey gang, I've been thumbing through my copy of VRGtR and I keep noticing little shout-outs to that-which-has-gone-before. Some of them are inconsequential to the plot ... simply mentioning a place name or minor NPC. A continuity nod, little more. A wink to those in the know. Others carry a bit more...

Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them
I can dig renaming the 'new' Dementlieu domain and keeping both sets. My google fu tells me that arriviste is French noun for an upstart / social climber. Somthing like Fauxarriviste (Fauxviste?) Or, if the -lieu place name should remain in use (a tip of the hat for the original place whose name it ...
