Re: What is Ravenloft missing?

A complete conversion to Swords & Wizardry Basic-but honestly, our gang did most of that ourselves... :)

Re: Ravenloft's Mr. Welch List

My goal is to destroy evil monsters wherever they may be found-not to weld them into a legion of unimaginable might and to rule over all of the United Domains as the benevolent deity that I am... :twisted: On a related note, I am to remind the DM that Megalomania is no longer on the List the next ti...

Re: Ravenloft's Mr. Welch List

I am not ever to attempt to convince Victor Mordenheim to turn his Golem-making research towards the invention of Pokemon. Wasn't getting tossed off the roof of his Schloss warning enough? :roll: I am not to use any of the following descriptors in my Dread Golem research ever again: -Pokemon -Catbus...

-Congratulations! Your replacing of the Richemulot road markers with "This way to the House of Mouse!" has captured the imaginations of every 'clued-in' resident of said Realm....now the bad news? The Renier sisters are NOT laughing... The Darklord of Falkovnia will find out who snuck into...

Re: Beyond the Black Rainbow

I watched Beyond the Black Rainbow, recently, and honestly, I quite liked it! The soundtrack and sound design were immaculate, and the cinematography was gorgeous. The story was also, rather intriguing! What brought it down, a bit, (IMO) was the pacing. The movie literally crawls at a snail's pace ...

Re: Strahd in real life

I've seen that movie-and the 'Re-incarnation of my Lost Love' subplot does make an appearance there (possibly the first time?). Palance's Dracula is by turns suave, romantic, witty, vengeful, petty and cruel as well- I concur that he would be a good fit for Strahd.

Re: Reverse Powers Check?

I'm not sure you actually need either a Powers Check OR it's reverse for a situation like this...giving the PC special Abilities, Skill Bonuses, Fame and Wealth should be more than enough. After all, if the knowledge is inherently corrupting (carrying the Seeds of obsession due to the nature of the ...

Re: Reskinning Outsiders/Extraplanar Creatures

You don't necessarily need to re-skin the entire race in order to be effective-you could always use the stats for a singular being: For example-on the Midlothian Island chain there dwell a family of horrible cannibal-men (the Bean-Midians), grown monstrous and corrupt on Manflesh, you could easily u...

Re: Thoughts on...Zherisia

Okay....I really, really like this version of Malken! Malken finally feels like HE is the Darklord, that he SHOULD be the Darklord-and best of all that he is SUFFERING as a Darklord. The original version seemed to be having too much fun while poor Tristan paid most of the price... But THIS Malken? U...

Re: Does Althea (QtR #21) deserve Darklordship?

Actually, there's a translation issue there that makes it unclear whether it was consensual or not. The Latin verb has been translated as "violated" which is where we get the idea it was rape. It could also just refer to a willing loss of virginity. Other translations of the same line tra...

Re: Thoughts on...Nova Vaasa

So if the 'Beast of Borchava' is only triggered by his attempt to relaim what was his, does this mean that Kharov could foil the Dark Powers by simply walking away, abandoning his Legacy and starting anew elsewhere? Because if that's all it takes, then the Dark Powers have Kharov in a trap as fiendi...
