Café de Nuit

Also, while I don't mean to question a FoS member... The concept of "true names" has existed in mythology going back to Egyptian mythology if not earlier, where Isis draws most of her power from her knowledge of Ra's true name. As such, the concept has always existed in magical theory. THA...

Also, since they're trapped in the snow (which can be another metaphor for the Mists), this might not be the same Azal'Lan that they might expect. This could be a Mist-led version of Firan as he leaves his Barovian ordeals to face Darcalus in "King of the Dead." If you have a need to drop ...

I admit that I'm already finding myself geeking too much on the overall idea, though I like my idea of things breaking up into Clusters... I want to take Ryan's map all the way up to of 613 ("Kartakass Forms") and consider that ominous enough, having both a "6" and a "13&quo...

Oh my god, this is so beautiful that I want to cry! BLESS YOU, Ryan!! You have no idea how overjoyed I am to see this. This is EXACTLY what I dreamed of when Strahdsbuddy and I worked on it. The way that you compressed the mountains and lined up the rivers to show their new paths... I just don't hav...

This is a great picture for representing The Brain[/url]

I seem to recall someone floating the notion that S's adventures would end with her incorporation into the God-brain, which would certainly fit the bill for "horrible end" . That would also fit the bill as "conscious choice" and "likely to send Azalin insane with rage"...

I agree with others who have voiced a dislike of the Nazification of Falkovnia. It's King Vlad, not KFVD, darn it! :wink: After looking up some information on old Germanic knights, I'm really surprised that "Fuhrer" was used, seeing as it only means "leader" or "guide,"...

Ditto

So you mean I'd get an early look at the SoS Gaz and all I have to do is something I'd be doing anyway? Sign me up!

alligator pear basically a mutant canaverous pear location is unknown! the item is priceless! fyi,this item grows unpredictability anywhere that normal pears do! Thought for the day: there's only one of it, but it's a pear! (For ESLs: "pear" and "pair" are homonyms in English)

So, I'm finally getting around to reading the Noctural Sea Gaz... Here are my own notes on Liffe! - (p12) Why the short days in wintertime? Liffe matches with Darkon in terms of lattitude, and I've not heard of Darkon experiencing such... Or are there portions of Northern Darkon (and the Isles of Ag...

Simply not having the Mind Switch psiconic power fits somewhat nicely with the Apparatus experiments. Their goal, so far as the God-Brain was concerned and we should assume it orchestrated the entire episode, was exploring a different avenue for its transference into a humanoid form. Actually, it j...

Wow, that's a pretty cool article. And in 2E, even! Excellent.

Kind of like AM from the short story (and computer game) "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream." Wouldn't be surprised if the God Brain had a jealous, sadistic hatrid toward humaniod because of this (not unlike AM did). For some reason, I'm not at all surprised to find out that this is one ...

I noticed that there was some mention early on of a spreadsheet, but no one had the time nor desire to do it. I actually do database admin stuff for a living, so I'm used of dealing with data cleanup etc. and it didn't take me that long to scrub it up and import it into MS Excel. I figured it was t...

Wasn't that also the name of the Thundercats' Castle? From what I've read of the place, it looks similar.

You're thinking of Cat's Lair. Or, maybe, the Tower of Omens.
