Café de Nuit

There's no rhyme or reason as to how Amazon ships things. No, when I ordered LotB on Dec 9, the estimated ship date then was Dec 20. I expected it was just the time of year & crazy holiday shopping. I also ordered some things for one of my daughters at HotTopic.com & paid for three-day-deli...

No one else but Mortpierre are gonna use the book in their games?! I'm still waiting for it. It always takes between two to three weeks from the release date before things finally show up in my local Kansas City-area bookshops. Not wanting to wait, I ordered it from Amazon on 9 Dec (yes, through th...

OK, I'll join in this one. Here's one of me from a couple months ago, on vacation at the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

I have shown my closest work-friends my letter in Dungeon magazine last year, and was met with blank stares. :( I don't recall hearing about it (or am too old to remember ;) ). What was it about (and which Dungeon #?) It was Dungeon #93, July 2002. They did an adventure involving the githyanki that...

What do you think? A group of middle aged men with graying hair that plays Ravenloft is an abominable thing? Are they freaks? Have no lives? Do the right thing? :P Well, I'm a middle-aged (44), middle-class (makes something under $100K/year US as a mid-level manager), Midwestern-American husband, f...

An 'ignorant and bigoted' American needs to point out that you misspelled 'ignorance' in your signature.

If MotJD is intended to be set in the same Gothic Earth as MotRD, a clue might be the following from page 218 of the new book; "In fact, some sources claim that at least one qabal is even now searching for a way to re-create the original ritual or spell in the hopes of drawing to Gothic Earth a...

A couple of items real quick: Both Navy and Army pistols are mentioned as being six-shooters on page 129 Chapter 4: Money and Equipment, but no mention of the same in the Combat chapter. First-Aid is given as a class skill for Atheletes, Intellectuals, and Tradesmen; physicians and nurses gain a syn...

Ok, I made the 140 mile round trip to my closest real game store to get my hands on the new Masque book yesterday. I haven't had time to do more than skim through it, but I have two disappointments immediately. The script font used for chapter titles and some illustrations may fit in the visual them...

The new Wizards of the Coast Hardcover book Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead is out for sale now, beating Arthaus's The Masque of the Red Death release by a weekend. Written by Andy Collins and Bruce Cordell and priced at $30 US, the back cover proclaims "Nightmares from beyond the Grave! Hush...

To folks in my age group, RV stands for Recreational Vehicle. Usually when talking about where you are heading next as in "yeah, we're taking the RV down to Florida for a few weeks." I'm also one of the old fossils that still sometimes thinks back to 1E (even if all the old RL material did...

Hey, we should have a new poll: which Bride did you like best? I liked the redhaired Bride the best. :P Verona, the dark-haired Italian, played by Silvia Colloca. :wink: I was at a Hot Topic store yesterday, they already have T-shirts made with the three Brides and the word 'Succulent!' splashed ac...

What!? You loved Dracula? Through the whole thing I kept wishing he would die and shut the heck up! He has got to be the worst Dracula I have ever seen! Someone should have tied Richard Roxburgh to a seat, forced his eyes open ala Clockerwork Orange and forced him to watch Bela Lugosi movies until ...

Just got back from the first showing; I liked it better than I thought I would. I had read the novelization last night, so I would know what to expect (I hate surprises). Unlike Malken, I never cared for the recent Mummy movies. I could never accept the blazing-fast mummies bouncing off the walls &a...

Another 1998'er here, like Charney. Easy to recall, as that was the year I got my first home computer. I had been wanting to peruse Ravenloft sites on the internet, but my work computer blocks anything that has GAME as the descriptor. Does anyone recall when the MGT disappeared for several months wh...
