Café de Nuit

Was that Carmilla (Mircalla, Millarca) Karnstein? If so, here's my question: What two scientific minds played a part in Mary Shelley's creation of the novel Frankenstein? Hint: neither are fictional. Bonus points:which two non-fictional sources reputedly inspired Victor Frankenstein in the novel?

I'm keeping my copy of 2E Masque just as it is. :mrgreen: Seriously though-the Sinkhole of Evil concept from 3E rocks. I even ported it into my Classic Masque. It's good if you don't necessarily deal with Pocket Domains and Mini-Darklords all the time, but still want to emphasize a...Wrongness about...

A Blindingly Happy Birthday! Seeing as how we're all stuck with each other on this blasted Demiplane-and with our own respective Curses-I think he should have at least ONE decent Birthday, don't you? What? Oh. The Voices In My Head wish you a Very Special Birthday as- (LALALALAlalaLA...) Don't start...

Well, if enough of a Toolbox approach was taken (the way GURPS sourcebooks usually did) then gamers could have it either way... Having said that, I have no idea how that would be achieved without weakening both. If the Voices In My Head come up with any creative ideas(there's a first time for everyt...

I like a nice, stable world-but I have Masque of the Red Death for that. In order for the Dark Powers to maintain a dynamic environment, they need to be able to trap Darklords from other Realms-if we change that, we have to retcon the history of nearly every major Player in Ravenloft, and we negate ...

AD&D 2nd Edition, as the Dark Powers intended... :twisted: Nah, i'm not holding my breath. I've played Ravenloft and Masque with a variety of rules systems in the past though(MS&PE, MERP, WFRPG, Amazing Engine, BRP etc etc) so i'm going with the System-optional option. More work for the plug...

A shiny new Link! You shouldn't have!

No seriously, you shouldn't.This is going to play havoc with my Microsoft studies. Ah well-maybe JUST ONE before bed wouldn't hurt...

It seems so long ago...I was on the run from the local Constabulary naturally. I don't blame them, really-they had no way of knowing the horrible fate I had saved those poor children from,they couldn't possibly understand that I had freed their souls from a torment far worse than they could possibly...

Well, it's just a rumor then, like Werewolves becoming Vampires when they die, or nipping potential Undead in the bud by burying the corpse face down or nailing it into the coffin with spikes...just Folklore. It's up to the DM to decide, and the Players can make up whatever theory they please!

Well, i'm still a 2nd Edition man, but... I was always fond of Larry Talbot syndrome myself, so I always had all non-silver, non-fire and non-magical damage inflict Subdual damage in Human form. You could beat or stab a man to death, but when night fell, an angry savage juggernaut would burst forth ...

(places WELCOME SPAMMERS mat at door, puts on apron and sharpens knives)

Kitty, kitty, kitty...

I'd pull to the side of the road, grab my bolt-on window bars out of the back and attach the heavy bumper-then go about my business...

I'd keep them on all the time, but the additions look rather strange on a '93 Ford Festiva!

I say we let a few more of them IN. Last Harvest was a bit thin and I need to restock the Larder.We've got plenty of grain and sun-dried Vegetables, but Zombies broke into the Smokehouse, the Rats have learned to avoid the Keep and i'm tired of beans... Just a FEW, please? I promise i'll make it qui...

The people of Texas have my profound sympathies- (Hey!) -um, and the Voices In My Head express theirs as well. Hopefully, the citizens of Texas are dealing with a strictly local phenomenon. If not however, I have an inexpensive plan for the average Texas native: 1) Grab a bicycle. Try for a moped-if...

Superhero Bard? He's the Faceman/Trickster of the group. Amp up his Illusion/Enchantment/Emotion Control abilities up to 11. As an added bonus, maybe he can use his natural skills with perception and music to find the frequency at which a particular material vibrates, and crumble it! The more tradit...
