Café de Nuit

exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcellent.... I'm a little disappointed by this quote regarding the AP: Will be a Pathfinder Adventure, defeating monsters, etc. Not a Call of Cthuhlu Adventure where investigation is 90% of play. But you can't have everything, I suppose. It's Pathfinder, love them to death ...

I'd love to hear your take on the Carrion Crown adventure path.

If I were going to have a Batman character in Ravenloft I'd take the technology level of the setting as an excuse to take the character back to formula. Either go Zoro, or the full Edmund Dantes. A Zoro Batman would work best in a slightly more rustic domain (Nova Vasa comes to mind). Where he strug...

This is pretty comprehensive so far. We have pretty much the entire Western core turning into a chaotic mess over this. My question is.... What happens back east? The Vaasi have a history of being conquerors and you can bet Prince Othmar would jump at the chance to expand his power base. Not being t...

I think even the great detective would have trouble comprehending the scope of the obedient problem in Dementlieu. He's not a fool, I'm sure he knows something is up. Over the years several investigations will suddenly hit brick walls that he can't overcome.After a while he's figured out that such o...

I'm undecided, but I may include a white stag (or stag beetle?) encounter as a nod to Dragolance, with deeper roots in Western legend and lore. This would be a special encounter, like meeting The Bloody Cobbler. I figured the real Bloody Cobbler is gone now that Soth is no longer in Sithicus to be ...

I think the real trouble is that in making a female darklord like that by having her fight sexism professionally she becomes less about herself as a character and more a cartoon of a strong female darklord. That's not to say you can't have female dark lords who have struggles against sexism, there ...

Really I don't know why they gave Richemulot one of the harshest/most powerful domain closes in the book(s).

Because were-rats rule!

As a rat owner I agree.

If you want a female vampire dark lord, remember Lyssa. She's one trip into the mists away from her own domain. Her domain is an island that's a dark, dead reflection of Barovia... decades after someone else killed Strahd (maybe another terg invasion). She gets her wish, she gets her uncle's power,...

I would.

Yeah Inza is the poster child for the NE Vistani

I always thought what set most of the religions of RL apart is that they had some kind of solid basis. The Lawgiver is Bane, the Morning Lord is Jander Sunstar mixed with a mad Outlander's understanding of one of his home faiths. Ezra was an early fevered sighting of Isolde (that's my canon at least...

I had one of Ebb and Glooms children flee to the shadow rift where he's aged extremely quickly.

In my campaign Meredoth is from a homebrew world I'd created a few years ago. Essentially it's similar to where he's from canonically, a powerful group of mages ruling over a continent sized city-state. Part of his curse (other than a lack of genuine creative ideas) is that the people of Graben are ...

So anyone living in Southern Ontario this is just a heads up. I'm planning on selling a lot of my old AD&D Ravenloft products to Leon at the Harry Tarantula in Toronto next week after they finish their spring inventory. Here's a short list of what I'm expecting to part with. Masque of the Red De...
