Café de Nuit

Perhaps it would be quite practicable to use D20-Past....but, why not having some cursed aztec gold in gothic earth. Perhaps the story from "Pirates of the Carribean" was only the prequel and someone finds the cursed gold in 1890 ?? There would be quite a lot possibilities to involve the c...

I would agree with UG that Ebberon would´nt be a perfekt Source for Steampunk (at first simply because there isn´t any real steam-technology in Ebberon ;)) One thing, I could still imagine concerning Ebberon would be a kind of postapocalyptic wasteland-domain drawn from the mournlands. It could look...

The domain could be organized around one-to-three heavily crowded urban centers, ala Victorian London, with the rest of "civilisation" being vastly spread out, like the Wild West. Perhaps you could look at the Trainmaster-Thread, we had some very similar ideas about a steampunk-domain (we...

Of course you have the permission !!!!

Anytime someone brings up the numerical taboo of triple six to me, I inform them that it is also the numerical symbol for the sun - thus blowing the air right out of their baloon. Could that point to this british newspaper ??? :roll: :P (Oh, I love conspiration-theories...you can create them out of...

Hmm...I like those starvation-idea really ! The indirect reason for the burned fields could be the imperial highway through the domain. Over most parts, the road is paved and makes fast travelling possible. (However, inside the Schwarzforst, the highway isn´t very reliable) So, during the war, more ...

As a real world comparison, would the Empire that Sorbria was a part of be anything like the Holy Roman Empire under the reign of Maximillian the First? Hmm..could work ;). But I thought of some later comparison. I think, Sorbria could be compared to a random german province some years after the 30...

Great pictures :D !!! The mindflayers are quite a good idea !! I think, there are quite a lot ways to include mindflayers into the Plains. My first thought was to give them a certain lovecraftian feeling (thanks to the fact, that we create a "Mock-USA" and US-horror-literature is unthinkab...

Hmm...I think, that would work quite well !!! I am still busy with writing some details about the domain itself and already created a map for it ;). The "Herzogthum Sorbria" is a almost typical CL-9-domain I imagined to have ca. the size of Nova-Vaasa. Most of the population is concentrate...

Wow, a cool picture !! I think, it fits more than perfectly !!! It´s just like beeing painted for Grand-Central !!
Where did you find it ?

Wow !! Great ! I although thought of Max as beeing the darklord. This would be the most "gothic" way ! I would also suggest, that Samiel is in fact without a corporeal form and needs a messenger - and Max suited perfectly. So Max serves as the new "Black Ranger" and tries to coll...

Thanks the gunpowder-thread, I wonder if some darklord could be somehow specialized on guns and rifles. First, I thought about the german opera "Der Freischütz" as inspiration. You can get a story-synopsis and some further information about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Freisch...

Yes, german nobles where said to love those martial playthings (The combination "mace + pistol" seemed to be quite popular) . But there are two major disatvantages about those combination-weapons: There where very unprecise and they got broken very easily. Much more popular where hidden pi...

By the way, if the 06.06.2006 was a "evil" date, how much more evil was the 06.06. 666 AD ? Or how "evil" will the 06.06. 6666 be ?

Well, I would not care, if guns would be a bit more common in Ravenloft. That would fit a bit better into this 17-18th-century-gothic-novel-feeling the northwestern core has. Policemen in Paridon or Port-au-Lucine carring a crossbow just to cause no culture-shock to wandering adventurers from more t...
