Café de Nuit

It's funny, I've actually never used Van Richten in a game. I started DM'ing Ravenloft in 2003, during 3rd edition. Also went with the canon that he was "dead" based on Bleak House. I used the twins quite often in the game , however, and they always spoke so highly of him that I guess my p...

Yikes....domains of delight?? That just sounds...icky! Boy, I'm starting to question if Wizards is just trolling people at this point.

Liked the connection of the 2 Lamordia's....nice little funhouse mirror kinda concept. I chuckled at the fact that Dominic's Dementlieu is feeding Saidra's....very amusing. I also noticed there was an update a couple of weeks ago for Heroes of the Mists. Was there anything new you added or just a ge...

Just to piggyback on what GonzoRon said, real representation means portraying the bad and good guys diversely. I'm drawn to the funny line Chris Rock said when he was on Ken Burns' baseball series on PBS. He was talking about integration in baseball and saying real integration did not happen because...

COOL!!! I'm really into this as I am planning on featuring the Nightmare Court in my new campaign....they are "working" with the Fraternity of Shadows actually in my game. I'm going to give this a deep dive. Trying to figure out how to link the Court w/ the Fraternity's larger machinations...

I mean labeling VRGtR as "one of the best D&D books ever" or “the biggest, best D&D book of this generation” are far-fetched statements. If the second one proves to be true I am sorry about this generation, they have my condolences... Superlatives bring page hits, which bring ad r...

WOW!! This map is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us. It must have taken forever to put something like this together!

No, there is no mention of any of Ravenloft's native faiths, outside of the new fictious pantheon invented by Ankhtepot in order to spit in the eye of the gods who damned him. I thought I heard that Ezra was mentioned. Was that a misunderstanding? Ezra is mentioned. I was asking if any of the other...

What about fear/horror/madness? I know it's now changed to fear & stress I believe? What were any of your impressions of how they are handling that now?

Three questions:

1: Any mention of Soth/Sithicus/Azrael/Inza in any shape or form?
2: Is Godefroy still similar in terms of his curse & background?
3: Any mention of Hala/Lawgiver? (saw Ezra was included, but was wondering about the other faiths)

Drat. They pushed the delivery of my copy back to thursday... Lucky you....I'm not getting mine till next week. Stupid Canadian postal service!! Strange, got a message this morning that it would get to my house tomorrow. I ordered through Amazon...what about you? We're both in the Mtl, strange you'...

The reason this kind of thing baffles me is that splitting the difference like that is just about guaranteed to split the existing fanbase on a product, which for an already niche product is rarely a good thing. You have to appeal to new buyers, but a big part of that is endorsements and praise fro...

^I can attempt to read the blurry text that is borca. Give me a few. :) ---- Edit: Levkarest has an 'ineffective government' of 'People's Parliment'. Grand Cathedral is still there worshiping Ezra however beneath the cathedral is a secret(?) society that cultivates Psionic powers to determine the e...

On a more positive note, I have to say, I was a cheater and looked at the book from Zilfer's link. I swear, I can never wait for things!! I really liked the art for some of the images, specifically the ones that are not Darklord related. Have to say wasn't really impressed with the portraits of some...
