Café de Nuit

One of the few things I liked about Eberron was the points a PC had which could be spent to make whatever they wanted to do happen. The idea was if they’re the heroes of the story occasionally they should just guaranteed be able to do something really impressive. If you give major (does he have a ba...

There was a request for British Isles accurate supernatural beings. Has DND ever statted
anything like the ghostly black dogs from Celtic folklore?

For immersion in running water, I am not sure. I could see the vampire dissolving and the ashes flowing downstream. However, the last movie I recall seeing death by running water in was Dracula A.D. 1972 (in which a vampire was killed by a bathroom shower), and the body was not turned to ash. I’m m...

This is a great idea. I get the impression I am more into the fantasy races than most, but the lack of villages especially non-humans struck me as leaving the setting bare. These domains are supposed to be vibrant places with distinct cultures, and it is not uncommon for them to have like two two to...

In 5e, the Keepers of the Feather secret society has a network of "messenger ravens" that can reliably deliver letters between domains of dread, and they offer it as a service to those who are seen as the society's allies. It is implied that these are special birds that only Keepers know ...

As someone new to this whole thing what is the tie between Lamordia and whaling? I'm not sure that there's anything in canon specifically associating Lamordia with whaling. However, Ludendorf sits on the Sea of Sorrows, and the Sea of Sorrows does have whales per Gazetteer II. So I don't think it's...

As someone new to this whole thing what is the tie between Lamordia and whaling?

[*] Whaling Stories and Jokes: Despite having seemingly no tolerance for 'flights of fancy', whalers are seen as the common-class 'hero', and so see stories and exploits, as well as oddly specific whaling jokes, fill the taverns night after night. I highly approve of this whaling related content an...

There was once, a while ago but still, that none of the QtR submissions were about the suggested theme

What was the suggest theme then?

Good question. Here's another. Does, indeed CAN, anything migrate in Ravenloft? Fish, whales, birds, anything? This perhaps takes us to the larger question of how the seasons function in Ravenloft. The Core at least seems large enough that there would be at least a small difference between the nort...

Can carrier pigeons carry a message from one domain to another? So the mists are a problem, and if the message attracts the attention of the Dark Lord or Dark Powers then the chance of success can easily go to 0. However, presumably for some secret or just normal message if you sent 10 pigeons, ther...

Sloth: Got lazy :mrgreen: Ol’ Slowy - Carnivorous dire sloth rumored to live in a swampy area Some sort of carnivorous plant/fungus that causes sleepiness with accompanying willpower/constitution save or something? A chair that causes you to sleep if you sit in it A side mission wherein the PCs are...

Was it whales and/or sea monsters?

I would say those two states have the same inspirations... but they don't seem to. Unless I remember wrong, as my lore in WH is very rusty, the Empire of Man is fiercely imperialistic. I.e. it reminds me much more of the British Empire in the 19th century than Nazi Germany. So it is sort of weird. ...

I’m not talking about the game. I’m talking about the setting and lore of the game.
