Re: Review thread of VRGtRL 5e
The text says "Locals have varied hair colors and a range of skin tones from black to pink, often with reddish undertones." This implies Mordent is the most diverse domain in the book. At least, in regards to skin tone. Culture in this domain isn't bound by skin colour as it often is (ridi...

Re: Review thread of VRGtRL 5e
How can you tell he's black from these pics? His socks?... :mrgreen: Haha Apparently this version of Godefroy was an avid golfer. So, where's his clubs? Actually kinda cool attack now that I thought about it. Spectrally-wicked strikes against slave ghosts and any others unfortunate enough to be aro...

Re: What monsters don't exist in your campaign
For me, it depends on the themes I want to explore in the campaign or adventure. I've never really viewed Ravenloft as one hundred percent anything but a vehicle for Horror and the Weird. While I do like the worldbuild that it became, I can just as easily play it as a weekend in hell. Together it gi...

Re: Review thread of VRGtRL 5e
I am finally getting around to giving VRGtR a thorough read and have just got into the entry on I'Cath. From other reviews I've read mostly positive things about its new update, so I was going in with some heightened expectation. But after the first two paragraphs I had to stop reading for I was hit...

Re: Quoth the Raven #29 requests thread
Requests for QtR 2-9...hmm I'd like to see this community's response dedicated to de-D&Ding Ravenloft. A divorce if you will. Of sorts. What would Ravenloft be if we rewrote the setting into a game that better aligns itself with its (bulk) gothic literature roots? Ordinary people put in extraor...

Re: Quoth the Raven #29 requests thread
I hope I didn’t come across as downing the idea or request. That was not my intention. No, I never took it like that at all. Though to be honest with you even if that was your angle I would still appreciate your insights and thoughts. Sometimes ideas are best served by poking and kicking them a bit...

Re: Quoth the Raven #29 requests thread
Horrors of the Orient/The East can mean a lot of things, given how wide the Western perception of 'the East' was and still arguably is. The usual interpretation would be something East Asian themed (so China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Domains inspired by those places like I'Cath, Rokushima Taiyō an...

Re: The Sheltered Isles
I invite you to look at the domains' cultural levels. ^^; These domains are specifically - and intentionally - more advanced than the Core and the usual domains. And why not? Not all roleplaying has to take place in the Dung Ages; Ravenloft itself shows us that Renaissance-age domains are well-suit...

Re: The Sheltered Isles
Movie theatres are too advanced for RavenLoft. I'd change that to a stage theatrical community. Maybe even allow for the invention of the stage musical. Hang on there. Before we start capping creativity let's give it a think. Ravenloft can steal, hold, create and host any land from anywhere in the ...

Re: Ravenloft Comic ideas
Ravenloft would be interesting if it was allowed to breathe outside of the "wholesome" nature of current D&D. I don't mean for mature readers neccessarily, but in a demiplane that houses the worst of the worst in the multiverse, one would expect storylines to push the themes to just a...

Re: Ravenloft Comic ideas
I am very familiar with the TSR comics. And although they weren't great, they were Dungeons and Dragons. Vajra Valmeyjar should've been an iconic fighter that got carried over into this new era of D&D fandom, and the recovering alcoholic paladin Priam Agrivar was, and still is, a nice spin on an...

Re: What is Ravenloft missing?
Grit. Did you say ... 'grit'? You want it ... 'gritty'? Haha Yes, Ravenloft needs an injection of non-gothic colour, given the fact that the Mists have reached out to claim and reform things from sources other than gothic literature. Multiversal evil (the core of every domain birth) needs to be mor...
