Café de Nuit

5e is very player friendly and can be hard to evoke that sense of dread needed for the setting. I disagree a bit here. Gameplay dread is a different tension than setting-induced dread. Consider the first two floors of the Death House which have no monsters*. It's just a tension building exercise in...

I have been rather busy, so I am only now getting around to QTR27. Jack the Reaper, Bitter Victory An extremely strong opening. It's just like Strahd to turn the forces of light and laugh at their misery. And the despair of being used for evil, the forced tolerance of what you despise but are unable...

Wait. That little girl was S ?! When did you figure it out? Alexandre is Erasmus?! I didn't think anyone would figure this one out because it's a much harder guess and he's a lesser-known character. The only clues were that I mentioned Alex staking monsters, and Erasmus' scar from being staked, lin...

I had to delay my answer, but that's basically what my QTR submission this year is.

Tragic. The eye bit was particularly inspired. And I'm choosing to doubt the hag-bear-woman's claim she can control herself, children or not. Did her hearing get better/curse get worse at the end? It seemed like she has been quiet for a long time before. Edit: Oh wait, with the hallucinogen theme, t...

I had a question, would you think the Linnorms would be in Ravenloft? They are close to dragons. but they are full of hate and want to kill anything that comes near it. They seem to fit in Ravenloft just for the hate, and they are close to mindless. I was just curious on anyone's thoughts on the ma...

I wanna know what the mystery of the missing car #14 is....

Or is that garage something we just don't talk about, around these parts.

Local history? Who needs that? Just fire up Contact Other Plane and wait for Azalin to pick up. PC: *contacts plane* "Hey we're hunting zombies. What's the conversion of 10 stadia to miles?" Az: "Zero" *click* PC: "Huh, they hung up. Zero miles? But that's..." Killer Z...

Halloween will be here next week! So will the next issue of Quoth the Raven! :D Are you excited? To kick off the festivities, here's a fun little thing to do. Assign 10 points between the following monsters, giving more the better you like the beast in question: [ 1 ] 1. Arak. - I like fey as villa...

Does each Domain have its own units of measurement? In-universe, probably, based on the domain's thematic origin. Ravenloft is already a mess of languages and currencies and calendars. I see no reason why units would be different. As a system, kept in check by the developers' desire to keep things ...

Canonically an "island of terror" domain, isolated from all others except by mist travel.

S- would have encountered it in the same Gazetteer as Farelle and I'Cath.

I don't think there is a compilation of border closings. This might have been the thread. http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7832&hilit=closing+border&start=30 One of these days, I'd like to add simple table pages to the Wiki like List of Darklords (with their c...
