Café de Nuit

Not to be redundant from the thrad that cause this one, but THIS class captures the flavor of the setting so well.

I agree with Cure. I don't have LoB, but from reading this thread it seems like the class has applications to several different games, but Ravenloft is not one of them. Chiurgeon is the perfect example of the "virgin field" of medicine and its applications in the Ravenloft setting. And a g...

just seeing the title of this thread made me think of veggietales.(you know the song "the pirates who don't do anything" I'm not ashamed to admit it, that WAS the joke! I am still trying to catch up on my reading, having been away fromt he setting for so long. So being backlogged on 3E st...

one thing about Gomez's Ravenloft Site List is his noting of the source-type of each site. ***** meant it was from an official published product, where * noted that it was from a etbook or something like that. The database should certainly focus on the published work, like it had on Kargatane.com; b...

SO if i punch in "Barovia" on Kargatane, i will get all the NPCs? I don't think so, i only got 5 hits with what should be a pretty heavy hitter for keywords. I envisioned more of a list like Gomez had, "Sites by Domain" where it just lists the NPCs, names, surnames, etc. THe Gaze...

Keening DID exist pre-conjunction, 588 to be exact. A funny thing about Arak. In the original Black Box, it is blatantly described as populated by Drow, though no further details are given. Arak's land was absorbed by Darkon during the Grand COnjunction, and it seemingly ceased to exist. The supplem...

Does anone know where i can find the Ravenloft TImeline Mangrum had on Kargatane.com all those years ago? My rekindled interest in the setting has become a bit of an obsession and I am even thinking of a project, or rather a combination of projects that would be a handy refrence to DMs. Two old scho...

I don suppose there is a place to get these books in ESD format? Having shrunk my D&D books onto my harddrive has proven so convenient that i now prefer that format to hard copy. Mongoose seemed to be pretty prolific int he material they put out! I've read some of their books, typically lacking ...

Does anybody use, or know anything, about Mongoose Publishing's Encyclopaedia Arcane series? And what is the Encyclopaedia Arcane Compendium, a hardcover compilation of the other books? SOme of them looked interesting, others not really. My campaigns are typically low-magic, but the ideas of Chronom...

My group are usualy good sports about things, but the eye-rolls and cries of "bring a raft" that come along with every ocean voyage kind of wreck what i am trying to do. By the way, great inspiration for sea adventures, listen to a little indie band called teh Decembrists. I swear these gu...

I was actually thinking Bluebeard and Monnette. Cmon, a guy named Bluebeard isnt a pirate? Anyhow. My point of this thread before i sent it was to ask one good reason a group of sane people would ever get on a ship in Ravenloft. They never seem to get where they intended. I am imagining a Ravenloft ...

OK, all the ex-pirate darklords have me wondering two things. Why do there NEED to be 3 pirate darklords? And, are there any REAL pirates out there? You know, the kind taht can actually attempt PIRACY? Seriously, Thou Shalt Not Pirate bust be one of the Commandments the DP are using as guidelines to...

RUnning the actal adventure wasn't the focus. As i tipped my hand in the 1001 Campaigns thread, it is going to be a time travel campaign. Having become a demilich, Azalin feels he can use his new power to unmake the demiplane altogether, allowing himself to escape. THe PCs will trapse through the hi...

That is why i only play with morons (i'm sorry, i couldnt help it)

73. CHRONOMANCY! Some being of great power is attempting to escape Ravenloft by keeping each domain from ever forming! The PCs must chase him/her through the real AND imagined history of Ravenloft to twart the plan. Each adventure would focus around some seminal event in every domain, and give the D...
