Café de Nuit

Right now the NPC with them is purifying the water for them. I made sure to point that out, as I'm thinking she will be separated from them at some point and it will lead to illness. Also, she is an illusionist/enchanter.... What do we think Anton Misroi would think about these types of spells being...

Well after several months of play, my group has finally landed in Souragne! Key points from their first session: - they only got as far as the Vistani encounter before we had to call it for the night - they fought some interesting swamp wildlife including Giant Frogs, a Snake and a few Crocodiles - ...

I've read a number of good posts on here regarding adjusting the module, specifically in making the PCs not have to run back and forth so much. (I did a search on the forums under 'hexad' and it gave me lots of ideas for running the GC) From what I've read of the module, the biggest problem that I a...

Any thoughts on how either would react on encountering a Shifter? I'm assuming it would likely be the same or even worse (for the shifter)...

You know you will have to keep us posted right? The situations you are potentially describing are priceless already! Oh I definitely will! The only drawback is that we're all old men (35 for me on Monday!) with kids, so sessions are not as often as I would like. Also, seeing as its 4e and they're a...

I had fun with Sithicus (as previously mentioned, I have one player who is half elven), as the majority of the group is human. They were not accustomed to the terrible prejudices of elves towards non-elves. When one of my more frustrated players questioned this, I just looked at them and made it ve...

:shock: They will need something to pass as human basically all of the time. Maybe with Darkon being the exception? And possibly Sithicus? Wow. Just remember to play the Ravenloft people as you would medieval people of our world if a Dragonborn walked up. Lots of screams, shouts, and fleeing follow...

And add a giant toad to each encounter. Let your players be baffled by its presence.

The druid in the party has a summon for a toad, I'm wondering if he's going to make them go toe to toe...

Also, have many of you run Ravenloft in 4e? If so, any thoughts or tricks (besides Jester's guides which are GREAT)

My thinking is that when they "land" in the swamp, the first human contact they make will be the catatonic brother. I'm thinking they'll run into the vistani, before heading to town. They'll be given a dose of their new reality and after that it will be up to them. It would be funny if the...

I was a little sad that Acererak was the lich character, and not another famous A...

I really like the idea of using the environment and making it oppressive, and I'm planning some similar things for when they get into the swamps. I had really wanted to use Touch of Death, but I had a hard time reconciling why they would be going into a desert, so I decided to give it up in favour o...

Since I'm running this in 4e (for a group of video gamers and people not used to anything more tabletop-ey than Risk it seemed the easiest transition) I will have to convert all of the encounters etc. already. In doing that I can make everything level appropriate while maintaining the overall story....

Hi all, I've been a big Ravenloft fan for many years and have read many of the novels, but have not actually had a chance to play before. Recently I've started a 4e game for some of my friends and I have acquired the adventures for the GC thinking that this would be a fun storyline to follow. I'm ig...
