Hello. I'm Brian.

From the Ravenloft books I've read, it's probably my favorite setting, but I've never actually got to play a game in it.

I'm currently working on a new website for RPG gamers called QuestKick.com. It addresses some issues I've had as a GM.

I'm in the middle of running a Pathfinder campaign. It doesn't have the darkness of Ravenloft, but I do enjoy the streamlined d20 rules.

Greetings! i am Steve (44 yr old father of 3). The kids and I love 3.5 D&D and Pathfinder. I have played D&D since 1984. Not many people playing here in Midland, Texas so I travel for the occasional game and hope to make some Ravenloft friends here. Can even host games! 1000's of minis, terrain, maps etc... Hope to make some friends and learn some fun stuff here!

Howdy, just a lonely Canadian gamer who has played for about two and half decades and is currently DMing a Ravenloft campaign for his crew and wanted to read some more about a few topics and get some feedback.

I will be reviewing Expedition to Ravenloft soon and in my last video I listed the top 10+ horror RPGs and the 'Loft is on the list.

Hi everyone,

I have been an ardent fan of rolplaying games for some thirty years now, although there has been a hiatus or two in that time. I have played and GMed many different systems and settings but have a particular preference for those with an element of Gothic Horror about them or Sword and Sorcery.
I am a huge fan of Werewolves. My mum bought me Issue 8 of Kull the Conqueror when we were travelling to visit relatives by train. It was an adaption of the Wolfshead tale by RE Howard and my lifelong love affair with Lycanthropes and Sword and Sorcery started right there.(my Username is that of the Protagonist from the original story).
I first encountered Ravenloft upon the release of I6. The cover art was amazing and the premise was so different to the dungeon bashing we had been doing up to that point. I bought it, opened it up and I was hooked. I have, in the past, owned most of the stuff that was released for the setting but my personal favourites are Dark of the Moon(of course) and Feast of Goblyns.
After a 'long' time away from Ravenloft and concerning myself with events in the Hyborian Age, The Young Kingdoms, The Savege World of Solomon Kane, The Tragic Millenium and WFRP2, I found myself coming into possession of, I believe, the entirety of the White Wolf release line. Got them at a car boot sale of all places! £85 very well spent, I might add.
I also play a little bit of Warhammer FB with an Ostlander themed Empire Army (4000pts Radetsky's Black Band).

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find this site still in existence. Been lurking for a few weeks and have finally decided to take the plunge.
I am working on a idea of my own which was inspired by Lorna Doone and Wuthering Heights and a villain who's kind of based on Carver Doone. I hope to post some ideas soon.

Hello everyone! I discovered the Land of the Mists a year ago and it instantly become one of my favorite settings.
I've been visiting the site for about 6 months now and decided to join the forums (please don't hurt me).

P.S. I apologize for any errors, English is not my native tongue (I'm Italian).
