Ravenloft themed Deck of Many Things
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2023 8:06 am
Hi I am designing a Deck of Many Things that I am planning to add in my Arkandale Gazetteer. So far I have the idea of making it Ravenloft themed, although I am not sure about that as it may give away some clues (then again this may be positive for use in an adventure) any suggestions welcomed.
Vizier/Sage ---------> Madame Eva (as in p.7 in VRGtGhosts)/.....................(any sage ideas anyone?)
Sun -------------------> Holy Symbol of the Ravenkind
Moon --------> Wolf/Werewolf crying on the moon (how original...). Or perhaps a panther in the moonshadows
Star -------------------> Van Richten's Holy Symbol
Comet ----------------> A comet in the sky over a doppelganger plant?
The Fates ------------> Three Hags of Tepest.
Throne --> A throne similar to the one Dr. Dominiati sat in Feast of Goblyns? A dead king on his throne ?
Key -------------------> Bluebeard's keys.
Knight ----------------> A Knight of the Shadows or perhaps ?
Gem ------------------> Either a phylactery, Magic Jar gem as in p.66 in VRGtFiends or Aggarath
Talons ----------------> Either a Talon as normally depicted or a Talon of the Hawk soldier.
The Void -------------> The Obsidian Gate opening. the Shadow Rift?
Flames --> The balor that guards the fracture that connects the Shadow Rift and the Mountains of Misery.
Skull-------------------> Death
Idiot/puzzle ---------> ......................./Leedericks labyrinth?
Donjon ---------------> As normally depicted
Ruin ------------------> Castle Tristenoira
Euryale --------------> Althea
Rogue ----------------> .........................
Fool ------------------> Lord Pidlwik Dilisnya
Jester ----------------> Puncheron
Balance --------------> Normally I would like to have the scale holding medusa statues from the Grim Fastness but there is already a medusa card in the deck so a blindfolded woman holding a scale is OK I guess.
