Re: Van Richten vs Strahd

That was basically the framing text of "I, Strahd". Van Richten entered Castle Ravenloft seeking him and read the journal, but they didn't actually fight. I think it's the only other description of how the Tome of Strahd looks, besides House of Strahd and Ravenloft - I6. Strahd actually k...

Re: Turning into a fiend as a dark gift/failed powers check.

Yes, I made it so the chicken blood sustained them, at least for a while, they didn't gave them the chance to see what will happen further on. Regarding the keeping them alive, they did try to feed them normal food, but they were either reluctant to eat or they wouldn't eat at all. Also, they did h...

Re: Turning into a fiend as a dark gift/failed powers check.

They have defended themselves against a number of enslaved-to-vampires-humans, kept them as prisoners for a few days, and when they saw that their systems have started to fail from the lack of vampiric blood, and desperate to get some info on their leader, they devised a plot: they took a chicken, ...

Turning into a fiend as a dark gift/failed powers check.

So, my lovely party.

Re: L'Morai and Dementlieu

I haven't read the novella, but, couldn't that be the homeworld of Dementlieu? Or maybe the inspiration for the "organisation" called "The Carnival" in Ravenloft?

Darklords Origins.

I searched for a similar thread, but the search results kept saying that the terms I'm using are to generic and couldn't be used as a search term. I hope there isn't something similar/same in the very recent past. So, most (if not all) of you, apparently, know what was the inspiration behind the Dar...

Re: Video footage of the Shadow Rift

That was one amazing video. I am quite lucky here in the UK, every Autumn it's like I'm in Ravenloft. Sometimes even in the Summer, but if something like this happens in the Summer, we do suffer from the heat.

Re: Alternative Sea Spawn

Reading about the internal struggle (in lack of a better word) for the aftermath of someone who survived a Sea Spawn attack… Have you seen Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher? To be completely honest I haven’t read the book and I’ve only seen the movie when it came out. But I do remember the race against ti...

Escape from Ravenloft

I saw something written in the welcome thread, saying "if you are able to leave this place", and I thought I'd make this thread, since I had this question for quite some time in my mind now. Do you use the Escape from Ravenloft sense as a main plot, as a side quest or as a completely vague...

Re: How do you set the mood and set atmosphere in your game?

Hey thank you! So the channel is called Cryochamber, and he uses theme names like Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Atrium Carceri, and what I can see, he has some collaborative works with a collective called Dronnie Darko. His collective works can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVHOgH4XEyYx-...

Re: How do you set the mood and set atmosphere in your game?

I mostly use music, candles and theatricality. I found out, that through my years of role playing, one of the things that I have obtained (if not anything else) is the ability of not feeling awkward towards any new or old players, and use gestures and different voices and such. On the music part, I ...

Re: Best Haunted House Adventures?

Hello All. Long time not seen. I am a little surprised that no one mentioned Castles Forlorn, since it can be quite grim and dark. Having lived in the UK for a few years now, I can also relate with a lot of stuff that this boxed set has to give, and tune it up a notch (or two) where the need arises ...

Re: Barovian/von Zarovich Heraldry

A long time ago, I was browsing the internets, and found someone who had designed some insignia/heraldry for some of the domains.
