Back to Wizards!!! ASAP!!! For one simple reason: MORE NOVELS!!! I've always felt that RavenLoft, like DragonLance before it, is better driven by novels than by source materials. We receive all these materials outlining classes and feats and whatnot, but they lose a lot of their alure when we don't ...

I've tossed this idea around in my head a couple of times and given certain factors, I've concluded that the most likely function that Ravenloft serves is as a battery of suffering; who knows what for. Consider, There is very little joy in Ravenloft. Almost everyone is for one reason or another depr...

I wonder if it's fair to include Sithicus, Darkon, and Hazlan in this discussion as they are all based on other gaming worlds. Strip away the Ravenloft influences and you're still left with DragonLance, Greyhawk, and Forgotten Realms influences respectively. Any real world influences may have been a...

Re: Giants These aren't really all that difficult to gothic up. Truthfully, it's already been done for us. George Lucas did it for us in (oddly enough) the first five minutes of his first Ewok Adventure movie. There were two parents outside their grounded ship calling out into the forest at night fo...

I've been following this and as another who prefers to play paladins (i like to keep people guessing) I think that this really should run on a case by case basis. Why, for example, should Strahd take time out of his quest for Tatyana to go chase down some metal-clad lunatic on a horse who may not be...

I haven't read the book yet, but I do remeber the Azalin novels. I wouldn't expect much coherent Darkonian nobility from any future publiations. Azalin tends to burn through them rather quickly if I recall right. In fact, if Azalin's perceptions of them are anywhere near acurate, then one of the pri...

I'm gonna let you guys decide this one. See, I'd love to do 'the Evil That Men Do' but most of my stuff would fall under the Masque of the Red Death setting, which is all well and good, but I couldn't do any RavenLoft Stuff and QtR seems to lean more in that direction. I'd also need someone to write...

I don't remember the date but I DO remember the topic. I had been posting as a guest for while, tossing in the occational comment or little known fact. I even contributed to the 'Book of Sacrifices'. I actually began posting under the name 'Manofevil' on the Realm of Evil Games' board. I established...
