Re: Domains of Delight confirmed.

I personally like the idea (I had ideas for similar stuff before). It would make sense since the Feywild mirrors the Shadowfell, and even if Ravenloft fans aren't a fan of mirror domains in the Feywild, I can't imagine too much overlap aside from maybe the Carnival so it wouldn't be too hard to igno...

A new take of Verbrek and Alfred Timothy

Reactions have been mixed on van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, but personally, I like it and most of the changes it brings. In particular, I'm a fan of some darklords being changed up -- like Viktra's new relationship with her monster being more than a mere Frankenstein expy, and Tsien Chiang comple...

Re: An expanded Har'Akir: More Modern Har'Akir?

My Har'Akir will be big and prosperous and Anktepot curse would be inability to leave his tomb and rule. He can leave only periodically and his attempts to take back the throne are doomed to fail by the hands of his own descendants. His minions try to help him escape and conquer back the nation but...

A new cluster based on the Americas?

I got this idea while running Curse of Strahd -- a party member was going down a very dark route, and she incurred a lot of dark powers checks. She was soo close to getting her own domain, before at the very last moment she redeemed herself despite her past sins and helped kill Strahd (He gave her t...

Re: Traveling in WotC's New Divided Core...

For domains that have the faith in it, what if the clergy of Ezra had a task of guiding people through the mists? Say a traveller wants to get from Borca to Mordent, they can beseech their local Church of Ezra and ask a priest of Ezra to pray for them, or to accompany them through the mists. Dependi...

Re: An expanded Har'Akir: More Modern Har'Akir?

Har'akir in canon is basically in the same vein as Forlorn as a glorified wilderness encounter that really doesn't cut the mustard to actually be a full-fledged domain and would frankly go unnoticed if it was dropped entirely. So this? This is a very marked improvement over what we have in canon. I...

An expanded Har'Akir: More Modern Har'Akir?

So Har'Akir has been confirmed for van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, and I am excited to see what's been written for it. However, I WAS a little upset cause when it was announced I already had the framework for a rewrite of Har'Akir set up. Regardless, I'll post my idea for a different and more expa...

Re: An expanded Shadowlands Cluster: Fallen Avonleigh?

I've been pondering this a few days because I really like and respect how much work you put into this even if I find myself disagreeing with a lot of the creative decisions. The corrupted knights seem like promising characters, but most of them work just as well as cursed or afflicted characters wh...

Re: An expanded Shadowlands Cluster: Fallen Avonleigh?

If I can ask (As someone who has never seen Labyrinth), what is the Goblin King's deal in that movie? And is it based off a real tale about a Goblin King, or was it just David Bowie's fever dream?

Re: An expanded Shadowlands Cluster: Fallen Avonleigh?

I like the idea of prince Sirius being a King John figure a lot. I also looked up the guy who fought along Joan of Arc and he also seems an I threshing figure to add in. Maybe another reason that Elena Faithhold felt so betrayed by the circle and took refuge solely in her faith.

An expanded Shadowlands Cluster: Fallen Avonleigh?

Intro So the Shadowlands seems to have a theme of Arthurian tropes, especially with the Circle, King Ferran, and Morgoroth. The Heretical Wars are mentioned, an allusion to the Crusades (imo not a tasteful one) surrounding the past of Kateri Shadowborn as well. I want to preface this by saying I HA...

Re: Redemption and Consequence

In my version he killed Sergei to steal his youth and strenght. He got it but with a twist. Strahd V and Strahd X got dangerously close to redemption, but failed respectively because of Inajira and (Unwittingly) Azalin. I'm curious. How did these stories go, with Strahd V and X almost redeming them...

Re: A domain based on Harry Potter?

The first thing that came to my mind was the domain of Hazlan, where magic is probably the most accepted. Going off your original idea for a new domain however, I really like the idea of the Dumbledore figure being evil. It would be a splendid deconstruction of the Old Mentor archetype that Dumbledo...

Hi! Sooo I've been reading the FoS stuff for a while. I've been a fan of Ravenloft ever since I discovered it, and with the announcement of the new book which I am excited for, I decided to join the forum to talk with some other fans of Ravenloft!
