Re: Putting Leo Dilisnya in Curse of Strahd

Yep, this does it. I'm stealing this idea. I'm not sending my characters through Ravenloft "backwards", as it were, but I now have another moving part to add to Vallaki.... not that I needed more. But I think, like you said, this could help tie things together. When I finally get my group ...

Re: Beauty and the Beast as a Domain

I'd like to inquire a bit further about chip- namely, what could he have done to be worthy of becoming a dark lord to begin with? You've established what he does when he's a darklord- but what did he do to get there. On this note- the woman (possibly a hag of sorts?) who ends up cursing Beast into b...

Personalizing Curse of Strahd to my PC's

Alright, so a while back I made a thread about running curse of Strahd and asking for help. I'm here to ask for more help on a similar topic. Before I continue though- if you play in a curse of Strahd game on Mythweavers with a character named Eddard's, Aeryn, Darian, Einar, or Pit, please shoo now....

Re: Running Curse of Strahd, seeking advice.

Regarding a certain wizard The mad mage of Mt. Murbdok (or whatever it's called, I don't have the book with me ATM) is supposed to be Mordinenkin. IIRC, he's supposed to be some archwizard who believes in preserving the balance of good and evil. The "ballance of good and evil" is a trope ...

Re: Running Curse of Strahd, seeking advice.

Oh, if that ever comes up, almost certainly.

Let me put it this way: if Strahd ever gets his hands on Ireena, I will probably be steeling most of the suggestions from the "Strahd has Ireena" thread.

Although... I should try and figure out how long ago Gertruda ran away from home.

Re: Putting Leo Dilisnya in Curse of Strahd

I think I have an idea. Strahd now knows that Leo is somehow still alive. On the list of "things Strahd doesn't want to happen", this is probably #3. Number #2 would be Ireena dying, and #1 would be Leo finding out about Tatyana/Ireena and getting his hands on her. As such, Strahd is curre...

Re: Running Curse of Strahd, seeking advice.

Heh. You're new here. :) Heresy is pretty much a constant on the forums. Every DM changes something. Some less than others, but some quite drastically , for example. I saw that bit earlier. An interesting concept, to be sure :lol: Not sure what other sources you have access to that you're pulling f...

Re: Ryan Naylor's Pathfinder version of Ravenloft

Would you mind if I used some of the text from the introduction of this to help explain to my characters the type of characters I want them to create? I found it to be very well written, and it gets across all the points I wanted too.

Re: Putting Leo Dilisnya in Curse of Strahd

RE: point 1. I definitely agree that's what Strahd would do, and on top of that, I'd have him make explain everything to the characters- with some lies and deception, of course. Leo Dilisnya can be treated as the most vile man who ever walked the earth. "In days of yore, he walked the earth, we...

Re: Running Curse of Strahd, seeking advice.

I now am a proud owner of Curse of Strahd. Additionally, I took the time yesterday to read "I, Strahd". Before I go any further, I should probably warn you all that I will likely be committing some low key heresy here, as I plan on altering aspects of the setting and Lore to serve my own p...

Re: Putting Leo Dilisnya in Curse of Strahd

Having Leo be a part of the game could be fairly interesting, and I love the idea of having the dead body be dropped onto the stage. I will probably steal something like that for my own campaign. As for making the murder mystery more interesting, maybe have Leo frame someone else in Vallaki- perhaps...

There will be spoilers for the curse of Strahd below. you have been warned. Background : When curse of Strahd first came out, I was in a play by post game for it on Mythweavers. It ran until October, when the DM had to quit for IRL issues. As I will be acquiring my very own copy of curse of Strahd ...

Re: New to Ravenloft? Or new to our forum? introduce yoursel

So I made this account a while back. I could have sworn I properly introduced myself in this thread, but apparently I forgot to. I'm relatively new to RPG's, D&D, and gothic horror. I've only been playing d&d for two and a half years now, but I've really thrown myself head first into it. I'v...
