Café de Nuit

I always figured that the Baron's curse didn't allow for a proper exploration of a gothic background. I wondered if it would be better to use an idea like Silent Hill 4: The Room. The heroes would be trapped in the room and can make escapes, but only into pockets of time from the Baron's history. In...

Merry Christmas to one and all,
Let us friends and family gather and see what Santa-Azalin has left us under the death's head tree.
Let's all raise a glass of raven's egg-nog and make a toast to the spirit of Christmas!

Dark Powers bless us, one and all!

I like your masquerade idea. Its wonderfully full of cinematic possibilities. Malus might explode into a screaming rage, or better yet, get cold and calculating. "What a lovely choice for a mask. Surely you are person of singular tastes. Perhaps you would care to see something else that is equa...

I'm not so sure that Batman is a hero. He's more like a Darklord. The heart of the Dark Lord of Gotham is his desire for absolute control. He lost his parents in a moment of utter helplessness, so he has dedicated his entire life to always being in control of everything around him. He sacrificed his...

A poem: Good for evil, evil good Walk Noden's road to wash away the blood You must cross 100 miles, with the blink of an eye Seize the Iron Dragon in the hands of a fly And meet a newborn babe, whose soul is stained in blood Quench the flames of vengeance in the freezing of a flood Noden's road is a...

Oh course, if films have taught us anything, its only a matter of time before his grave is struck by lightening, doused in blood, or subject to some sort of demonic ritual. Inevitably, Sr. Christopher Lee will walk the Earth once more, pursued by some reincarnation of Peter Cushing and also someone ...

That's a very well reasoned argument... for a filthy HUMAN . The key to Althea's fall is that she is not supposed to be a human, but a creature that merely looks and acts human-ish. Sure, we'd see Althea as a good person... well, better person, due to her very human unconditional love for her offspr...

I think that there was a kind of learning matrix included in the D&D 5th edition Dungeon Master's Handbook. There was also the classic future-tech learning tables in the adventure Expedition to Barrier Peak. Other than those, you could use a series of Int checks, modified as the group experiment...

Merry Christmas, everyone. Your friends at the Fraternity of Shadows wish you the happiest of holidays. Here is to hoping that Santa successfully cast dimensional door on your fireplace, reached into his Sack of Hefty Capacity and stuffed your stockings with XPs and a few random rolls from Table 25:...

I thought the Demise article was inspired. One of the major problems with non-human monsters as darklords is how much of a reach the writer has to make to create a suitably gothic character out of ogres, trolls and goblins. I think this new Althea is a fantastically melodramatic character. She is a ...

Happy Halloween!
A happy All Hallows to everyone!
May the great Samhain appear in the guise of the Great Pumpkin and shower us all with tidings of fun sized snickers.

In all fairness, it wasn't Elena's evil that brought the wrath. She made the innocent mistake of walking up behind the hero and saying: "You're in my way, sir."

Happy birthday

That's not bad.
Deadlands is my second favourite setting ever, and I have to say that I just love the idea of Strahd wreaking havok in the West, yes sir-ah!
