Café de Nuit

Gondegal is probably one of the biggest threats along with if Eia Pia ever passes through Falkovnia and decides to take an active role in over throwing Drakov rather than fighting the creatures of darkness. Gondegal being a high level fighter, and Eia Pax a high level Paladin that wanders the core. ...

Check the first post of this topic seems suspicious not sure if we can keep the discussion however.

I'm kind of curious how Pathfinder is doing since their whole thing had pretty much the whole ruleset up for free on a wiki. I've probably used the wiki much more than the books I physically own since i could search it all at once without pouring through book after book, since it eventually got tot ...

I was looking for a PDF too, and ended up in the book-version of D&D beyond... which I can access only online. I cannot download it. You can have it downloaded onto your phone via app, however it's only accessible through the app. Not sure if most are trying to find a work around to get an actu...

Pretty much what Gonzoron said. I've a feeling when they went back to Tracy and Laura Hickman to flesh out CoS they wanted to emphasis the evilness of Strahd by making him having conquered the land despite some of the additional development that had come out after. They are the creators of the origi...

As a note, someone did point out there is a carnival on the cover art and furthermore Isoldes new backstory has her trading her Old Carnival for the current one she has... Could this be connected vaguely in that direction? Food for thought.

I presume you mean that in Hyperbole(the 99% of people that is), I'm not convinced if I was introduced to the 5e product and worked backwards that I'd consider one 'better' than the other story wise. I'd just consider them alternative timelines that I can play with, much like I do now reading it 'fo...

You make an excellent point, but my counterpoint is that Mina is turning into a minion of the night. She is not one yet. If I might extend the Dracula metaphor, my worry is that "Dracula" would function much more differently if Mina were already a dhampir at the start of the story, rather...

I guess that depends on how you play it. Keep in mind that Castlevania is gothic adventure with horror elements, not straight horror. Horror focuses particularly on dread, a major component of which is loss. I mean, if you want to run a more fantasy adventure campaign in Ravenloft, that's perfectly...

To alhoon's point about her pure soul, maybe this version of Tatyana isn't power hungry like the old one. All we get in the blurb is that "her first step to depose Strahd was to become a vampire". So her motives may be more pure than the previous canon version. Whether or not motives matt...

While I have a nostalgia for Fear/Horror/Madness of old, I can say over time I've grown out of using the system and relied more on the players to play their characters in a way. It was a nice back up system to originally train my players per say but I hardly ever use it. Dark Powers checks I also mi...

^yes and no. I believe somewhere in the book it is mentioned at least some of the people in the Domains of Dread are made up of shadowstuff, but are indistinguishable from anyone else. I'll see if I can't find the reference, but seems to also imply the PC's are 'bright souls' among the domains.

My book doesn't arrive until later today though I have access to all of it through DnDBeyond so if anyone has specific questions, without me copying and pasting huge portions I can give you broad strokes here. Might be available around the discord as well if there are specific questions. That being ...

My least favorite darklord in the book is probably Viktra Mordenheim, whose background, despite my initially high hopes, turned out to be extremely bland. Basically, she became a scientist at a young age, then started doing evil science, then progressively more evil science, until she was cursed in...

I'd say things like Geek & Sundry and Critical Role have probably done more to boost DnD's popularity in recent years. (If their kickstarter for example is anything to go by they hold massive sway in the community at large)
