Ravenloft (A Red Boxed Campaign)

The longtime traveler returns to the hearth, blowing off the dust of a dozen lifetimes. For those in the know, no introduction is necessary. To the novice observer, no explanation will suffice. I have my own chapter in the "Memoirs of the Fraternity Book Set" ( for sale in the Frat store! ...

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting

Love it. Still think it’s very similar to Urban Arcana, just with some “Ravenloft” vernacular thrown in, but I love it and support it 2 the death. Certainly an ambitious project, one I even tried to pull off myself. I applaud the effort and would love to contribute in anyway. Here’s an idea I had t...

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting

I'd assume that means no excessive profanity. Or graphic details or depictions. Just the general means will suffice. And don't post naked pictures or pictures of m***juana. Obviously.

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting

That's my boy, by the way. Long time campaign buddy (he's in all my write-ups too). OK so I'm out of the shadows now, because this is exactly what I needed. But I have a few questions as well. OK so obviously I'm very familiar with both the original 2E MotRD and the hardback revision... I'm very fam...

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting

It's about damn time! GREAT idea. Been waiting/wanting/working on stuff like this for years. I even started my brief d20 Modern campaign on this very Gothic Earth messageboard. My idea was to update all the old Grand Conjunction modules into d20 Modern adaptations. So it goes without saying I absolu...

Osama Bin Laden is dead (the RPG)

I, much like everybody else I’d imagine, has been watching this saga unfold real time – starting during the WWE Extreme Rules PPV last night (which – by the way – actually featured John Cena alerting the live audience to Bin Laden’s termination after the PPV went off the air!). Reading the plot poin...

Re: Languages in a weekend in hell campaign

One of the house rules I've used (something I'm sure I took from here years ago) is language immersion. I know it's Weekend in Hell and you don't have alot of time, but the isolation and uncertainty could work in your favor. Then, the longer they're there they can start picking up a word here and th...

Re: Update on the Ravenloft Board Game

Jeez, I can't believe how far this fell down the board already. It's like the only new thing we have for Ravenloft these days! Anyways, I am proud to say I will FINALLY be getting my hands on this thing Friday (if the UPS tracker is correct)!!! CAN'T WAIT! I read all the rules, downloaded the instru...

Re: "Fair Better in Death" Campaign Journal Comments

Very good! I never took the time to create a second thread for comments, I prefer to keep it all together. But it was a very energetic opening, the characters are cool and overall you stuck to the theme and gothic mood very well. Highly impressed. I liked the photo inserts as well, helped establish ...

SHADOWBORN

Any experiences you'd like to share? Use of the NPCs, incorporating player backgrounds, anything new or nifty with Ebonbane?

Just like to solicit some feedback on how you've used this domain in your campaigns.

It always bothered me a little that DnD characters could get to the point where a series of point-blank rifle shots wouldn't kill them. I stopped reading right about here, so forgive me if the rest of the post follows along with your typically humourous slant. But the simple answer is "miss po...
