Café de Nuit

I initially thought when I started this thread that I had misjudged the audience, but think it's just a slow burner. Anyway, after Manofevil posted the link to the Charlie Brown thread, I started thinking along the lines of Children's TV characters and suddenly imagined a green felt frog brandishing...

Partially inspired by Manofevil's thread regarding reversed Darklords and Jamesfirecat's take on a meeting between Harkon Lukas and Nathan Timothy, I have been thinking on another "What if?" scenario. One of my favourite 'Gothic' movies is the parody of the then-popular Hammer Horror films...

How about Gyula, named after the town in Hungary? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyula,_Hungary The picture of the Roman Catholic Chapel in the Wikipedia article does bear some resemblance, architecturally and aesthetically, to Petrovna's cathedral... Plus Gyula was, apparently, a term for a ruler/su...

Oooh, me like! Perhaps the incursions from the 'moon' are heralded by a red moon, as Bluetspur was illustrated as a red blob in the Red Box. I too like Marcu Vasilis from Forgotten Children (and the previous article whose name escapes me that introduced the take on Bluetspur where its reality 'trans...

"Here you go, Mistmaster, one can of worms. Any other takers? Ah, Mr Thomas, please help yourslef, I have plenty of cans of mindworms left...did I say mindworms? My mistake, they are merely harmless...er...nemtaodes. An ideal substitute for pasta, as they are Gluten-free..." His work done,...

Very cool, Manofevil.

And this is the disadvantage of not having any post-2e material, although I did know about the Canon shift between Darklords in Sithicus... Quite a lot of the fiction or flavour fiction has characters realising that they are no longer in their home plane by not recognising the stars above them, so I...

As most people will have gathered from my previous threads, I like a degree of consistency and internal logic to my version of Ravenloft, so have suggested revisions to various Domains that I felt needed...tweaking. However, having read the article about the Celestines group, I wanted to pose a few ...

That did throw me initially, as I was thinking "i don't remember starting a thread on Dementlieu..." However, if I do log onto this Forum and see a thread under my name which I don't remember starting and it only has one post saying; "Greetings from Ejrik Spellbender." I will fre...

Thank you all for your input - you've raised some interesting points and made some good suggestions. Regarding the Malken/Tristen dynamic, having read the comments made, I think I need to clarify my ideas a little more. Malcolm Hiregaard is the overall Darklord of Zherisia, and this is represented b...

There is a reason for this slight re-jigging of how the Malken/Tristen dynamic plays out. If we continue with the Batman/Joker analogy, one of the defining aspects of their interaction is exactly that...their interaction. Whilst Batman thwarts the Joker's schemes on nearly every occasion, there is a...

Thank all for the input. Yes, I realise that I got it back to front, which upon reflection, has now crystallised the new ‘origin’ of the Darklord of Paridon… Sir Romir Hiregaard was a pillar of the community and a member of the Council of Lords of Paridon. Unlike his peers, he truly believed that hi...

As I see it, the effort to cut a road through Tepest originates in Nova Vaasa which although a higher cultural level than Tepest, still isn't quite high enough for a mechanical golem. However, if Prince Othmar had posted a reward for a solution in Kantora, due to the cosmopolitan nature of this city...

Now, this started as an aside on my "Thoughts on...Nova Vaasa" thread, but as Zherisia was another Domain I was intending looking at, I thought I'd start a new thread regarding it. To reiterate what has gone before: That's what I like about this forum - you suggest an idea and someone come...

Thanks for the input. Based on the ideas presented by Jamesfirecat regarding the Batman/Joker analogy for Sir Tristen/Malken and my own ideas regarding a reworking of Zherisia with Sir Tristen/Malken as the Darklord, I think that's deserving of its own thread, so that will manifest at some point. Ge...
