Café de Nuit

Hm, a good point. Admittedly when I get ideas for new Domains, I get a trail of ideas and it ends up sounding better as a cluster. On the other hand, this could just be a large Domain, like Darkon-size, which is split between factions. I just thought if I used Blasphemous as the initial inspiration,...

I've been surfing the net and just letting my mind wander when I came across a video of the various bosses of Blasphemous II. As I watched with interest of the bizarre and haunting imagery, it kind of made me ponder how many of the bosses or characters could be inspiration to new Domains and even a ...

I'm scrolling through Van Richtne's Guide to Vampires but I'm not seeing anything about potentially curing vampirism. Not that I was expecting one since vampirism is undeath and it is Ravenloft. What I'm wondering is if the fraternity may have come across some methods of curing vampirism, even if it...

When I would DM Ravenloft, I would have Domains like Mordent, Borca, and Dementlieu be more open about nonhumans. Depending on what they are, people may see them as an amusing distraction, perhaps even a new fashion trend like a model or something. Most people there focus more on their own affairs a...

I've been collecting Pathfinder 2E manuals, mostly as an alternative to D&D. I have been dabbling a bit of putting together a Pathfinder adventure set in Ravenloft. I have only a few ideas and such, but I do need to ask for some help. Is anyone here in the fraternity who has experience with Path...

The pictures of the giants that are barely visible int he horizon, or are blending into the thick scenery of their surroundings are the ones I think best fit giants in Ravenloft.

Kalakeri/Sri Raji Decision: Uncertain This one is complex… I don’t really see Ramya as a worthy darklady (She is a worthy character, but not a darklady... She's more of a victim here), and the wink about Inajira seemed cheap to me (I prefer the previous version of the Arcanoloth causing trouble eve...

I like the topic and I really like the discussion on how to fit giants into Ravenloft. For what it's worth, here is my two cents. In typical fantasy setting, giants are definitely supposedly larger than life. But in Ravenloft, focusing on their symbolism would definitely be the way to go. Their biza...

Paizo Announces System-Neutral Open RPG License

And Paizo says, "Don't split the party."

Wow. Makes me feel a little like being in the kiddie pool when I looked into EC comics Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Cape of Fear for Ravenloft ideas.

Okay, the Northlands work. Great. Thank you. So, if I understand the curse of Jarl Gravstein Hansen is that the only thing he is good at is being a warrior and any attempt at being a leader fails. He is forced to use violence to keep his people in line, but even that is crumbling as remnants of the ...

I've been looking for one on the fraternity, but has there ever been a Norse or Viking theme Domain in Ravenloft? I don't mind making one myself, but I was just curious if anyone in the fraternity had documented one or if some one-shot was created with it.

A Domain where there is abundant food and temptations with the finest foods, but the Darklord is someone who ruined the careers of many cooks and chefs merely because they did not serve him exactly what he wanted, and they are one of those finicky types who demand special treatment and custom-made f...

I actually think you have a solid backstory here. And how you looked into historic figures to help make it is a big plus in my book. All my Darklords have been based off other media. You hit Verbrek's theme pretty well. That Domain does not belong to humans. It was made for werewolves and humans can...

I first began considering this Domain when I learned about Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital and I thought a hospital Domain would be good for the Cluster. A simple ghost story wouldn't work though as it would feel more like a modern Mordent. Then I discovered WInston's Heart and he had ideas for a t...
