Re: Ways of Getting Around Canon...

I edit a lot of things about Ravenloft. Fiends, for example are formed from the Demiplane itself and are not Outsiders. This was presented as an option in VRGTF, but I do not see it used often, or ever really. Fiends from the rest of the multiverse can still get stuck in the Demiplane, but it is no...

Re: Is Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft worth getting if you own all the 2E/3E books?

We have reviews for the Ravenloft 5e.
Basically, I would say that Curse of Strahd has some chapters that are not too Strahd focused that would be very nice in any campaign. That said, 5e Ravenloft also has some good ideas although not all mesh well with previously established canon.

Re: Insectoid

Animated exoskeletons? That... doesn't sound blasphemous. Does the insect has to be dead or it could have just grown out of its exoskeleton?

Re: Insectoid

I think it's more like a tri-kreen, it doesn't say insect, it says insectoid. Or how were those ant-people with four hands?

Re: I did a thing! Consider donating!

Honestly Rucht, I will be open and without fear of shaming: A small, well written RPG is useful for me because I can drop it on ChatGPT 4 and have it act as the Story teller. The more concise the rules the better. Thus, I pledged So, may I suggest that you actually change the 300% stretch goal to ac...

Re: Ideal Ravenloft Videogame

I agree with much of what you said, but I would stand on a point I disagree with: I strongly believe the game should take place within a single domain. At least for first timers.

Re: Ideal Ravenloft Videogame

I think Ravenloft has been converted to a module for NWN. (Neverwinter nights)

Here I found one two-part:

Re: Additional monsters for Hazlan

Actually, constructs gone wrong after their creator died - or constructs subtly sabotaged by rivals to eventually go berserk and attack their creator and kill him - make good additions to Hazlan. Flesh golems, that have a good chance to go gaga, are a good addition IMO and ... they don't have to be ...

Somewhere I have made a "Dread Nothic"... I don't remember where. I think it is... in a thread somewhere in the 20 years of this board.

Re: Ideal Ravenloft Videogame

I just remembered a game I played last year. It is called The Council. You play as an occultist investigator going to a council in a secret island in search of his missing mother. The game remembers a visual novel, but not so limited (you can explore some specific parts of the island and the manor ...

Re: Ideal Ravenloft Videogame

I'm old-fashioned like this, but I'd like a game in the style of Sierra's Quest for -games. There's a plot, there's social interaction, but there's room to roam around and look around and plenty of combat, too. Indeed, a "quest for Glory" like adventure, would be very good too. Or any kin...
