Café de Nuit

snip It sounded rather similar to me. I don't want the remain of domains to be "apocalyptic", i want them to be reduced to dust by being forgotten. Even if the darklord isn't dead, if he is forgotten or refuse to rule or act (as soth for example), his domain can be sent here. And rather t...

A very dangerous place where remains of domains with dead darklords can also be found, a kind of backdrop of the mist. As I have heard, isn't that the premise of the new domain of Klorr? Nope, Klorr is the bin of the mist, it is just a renamed Oubliette imo. Edit: and we have so little info about i...

I had a problem with the book, i wasn't able to put the finger on it but... The more i think about it, the more it seems this book is not for us or to better phrase it: we are not the target audience. I looked at the age of the d&d5 players and the majority is between 15 to 17 years old. Van Ric...

Okay! I have received my copy of the VRGtR ... and we have a lot of work before us if we're going to incorporate the bits that are worth keeping. I like the ideas I suggested for Lamordia, Richemulot and Falkovnia. The Lesser Evil's idea of using the 'Shadow City' dread possibility to explain the e...

Wow. It is a very interesting concept, much work are needed but i can be very good. You also have Adar as a darklord or demilord, a corrupt unicorn who became the first black unicorn and caused the death of a mighty paladin because of his arrogance (i don't remember her name...), almost canon (creat...

To be honest, their are far more "problematic" things in the book than Lyssa.

Btw, i'll use Dementlieu as decribed in Jester's works, i'll just change it a little. For Mordenheim, i just don't know...

The only people bothered by Lyssa being Tatyana are the ones who knew the setting before. I read several reviews on ENworld and everyone of them are enthusiastics. It is perhaps good, we will perhaps see more for the setting, even if average it is better than nothing. I plan to use the "new fal...

i bought it and you did a freaking good job. I have always such hard time to create stats blocks and i don't find any missing one from the 2nd era (beside the phantom lover and the headless horseman, but this one can come with the update for the 4th edition darklords). When i try to create stats blo...

I used Scena one time, when my players wanted to use their favorite characters, which were on another world and waaay too much powerful. They simply awake at the end of their campagne, standing in front of an applauding crowd and discovered they were just characters in one of Lemot's play. They fled...

I don't think it's cool... but it sure is horrific and disturbing. And while I'm all for horrific and disturbing in a nightmarish prison realm like Ravenloft, I'm pretty sure that including hints of incest in the book is diametrically opposite to WotC's current efforts to promote "safe play ex...

[ DOes someone knows how are the reactions about it ? As 80% of the population I don't have any social media so i don't know. Reactions are very mixed. Sites like Polygon are calling it stunning and brave, but fan reaction is mixed. Though I can guarantee if it wasn’t for the genderflipping and rac...

I guess my point is that if they cared at all about making a product that better appealed to long-time Ravenloft fans, they certainly know where/how to find us. certainly, but I don't think that was their goal. Let's face it, the book wasn't written for us and it is understandable, we already have ...

Oh I know. I didn't say there weren't any. Just that there weren't as many minority / female / LGBTQ+ characters as there were presumably straight white men. Of course there were some, but not as many as there probably should be by today's standards. And I still say that the best way to fix that wo...

There is certainly something to be said for fans knowing and understanding the setting really well. But, ya know, WotC knows that the FoS exists. There was literally nothing stopping anyone at WotC from making an account on this forum and posting here, asking about why there aren't as many female /...

Curse of Strahd was professional. This is ... not professional. But I am happy with my purchase regardless and I think it will bring people to the setting. The old books are still there to buy. Also, I may be in the minority but I honestly find some stuff to make more sense in the "glossed ove...
