I think--in line with most of y'all--that it's more a matter of how you play than who you play. I like a humanocentric Ravenloft style, myself, but being an orc, goblin, drow, aasimar, tiefling or what have you offers some interesting possibilities.

Speaking of giants in Ravenloft--how about the Wendigo from "Pet Sematary"? Joel, your comment about "Even a T. Rex would fit in Ravenloft with a good backstory" reminds me of one of the coolest movies I ever saw (at least, at the time--I was six or seven). It was an old black-an...

I had an idea for a mini-campaign based on the Isle of Ravens which I actually intended to write up for the long-lost Book of Storms (eek!). There are two articles in the Book of Sacrifices which touch on the Isle of Ravens--the domain synopsis (full disclosure and tooting my own horn: I wrote that....

Aha! Good call.

I like how the board is different yet the same from the SOK. Say, have you guys ever considered becoming the official Ravenloft site? Or could you I guess is a better question? We would have to be approved by White Wolf, and probably Wizards of the Coast too. It would be possible for it to happen, ...

How long have you been visiting Ravenloft message boards?

The subject heading says it all. Myself, I've been around since the summer of 2000.

(Pauses to consider the implications of that last sentence)

Somehow, that seems like a really long time.

Harkon Lukas. Because of the monocle.

Azalin Rex and Nathan Timothy also make the short list.
