Re: A Horseman's Intro - Looking for Advice and Ideas

Anyone know any details about this product? http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=58638 I've got the True20 Colonial Gothic and it's pretty good inspiration. Still I'm wondering if this has an adventure in it or if it's just source material for the setting + a reprint of the story (whic...

Domains with no Darklord (sorta)

I was just wondering if anyone else had ever created a domain for a certain type of adventure and not the Darklord to go with it, since he wouldn't be playing a central cast. Case in point, in my last game I set up a Old West type domain, to feature a demon turned gunslinger (this was to actually hi...

Re: True20 Conversions

Colonial Gothic - True20 Edition and Imperial Age - True20 edition are turning into gold mines.

Still, would anyone be interested in some serious conversion work with me into a pamphlet or something? Is anyone else interested in the True20 setting with Ravenloft?

Just things I'm considering.

Re: Steampunk in Ravenloft

Well, let me be clear, I don't have an interest in doing a HIGHLY steampunk setting. If anything I'm fond of Victorian settings sans the steam punk settings that are popular with them (see Masque of the Red Death of course). But this isn't for my whole campaign, in fact, most of the PCs will be from...

Re: Steampunk in Ravenloft

I'd keep in mind the propensity of technology to spread by diffusion. If revolvers, steam trains, telegraphy, dynamite, etc exist in Nosos or Paridon and either domain has even limited contact with the outside world- expect these things to begin cropping up in the Core. These advances are way too u...

Re: Steampunk in Ravenloft

I wonder about clustering Nosos and Paridon and centering the Victorian and tech typish movement there... thoughts?

Being familiar with of course the fact that Paridon is already a cluster.

Imperial Age just brings a lot of ideas with it.

Re: CotN: Werebeasts and Levels! Help?

I like the level ranges, though the only one that really baffles me is Andre De Sang, he's only 3+1 HD, and his minions are only a half each? Is there a reason you have it ranged for 6 to 8 that I'm not seeing?

i really do appreciate this. I resumed my list today and was rather thrilled about that.

Mind if I ask about how many players you had?

Re: True20 Conversions

To a point, but Blue Rose is romantic fantasy, which is almost in complete contrast to Ravenloft as well. Either way, I am farming Blue Rose for ideas, as well as "Imperial Age - True 20 Edition" and "Shadows of Cthulu - True 20 Edition". Quite frankly True 20's sanity save (one ...

Re: Steampunk in Ravenloft

Well I thought one of the domains was practically Victorian. But it's not part of the core if I remember correctly, and has a pollution problem? Other than that you are just looking more at the late Renaissance type domains are where my players usually end up spending a lot of time. And I'm going to...

Steampunk in Ravenloft

I've got a potential player who is obviously a big steampunk fan. He seems a LITTLE interested in the Ravenloft setting due to it's gothic nature but it's very clear where his true allegiances lie. Since I wouldn't mind recruiting this individual for my new game, I'm wondering what other people thin...

Re: A Horseman's Intro - Looking for Advice and Ideas

It shouldn't be a matter of telling them they are more likely to die, because that's not true. If they are smart, etc, it might not be an issue. If you are going to be running Ravenloft as a campaign setting (not a one shot) it's best that they know what type of game you are running. Saying that you...

True20 Conversions

I swear sometimes I just post here because I love talking Ravenloft. Does anyone else play Ravenloft with True20? I've used the system before (I was a player) and am pretty excited about the prospect, just wondering if anyone has already done any conversions of monsters, or modules, or even just cus...

Re: CotN: Werebeasts and Levels! Help?

Yeah, that issue, how to scale (which appears nowhere in the DMG for 2nd edition as far as I can tell) is Part in Part why I decided to switch to True20. Honestly I think it will lead to a richer experience for everyone anyway just means more work for me. That's okay. Still, I'd love to finish my li...

CotN: Werebeasts and Levels! Help?

So, I'm working on planning a campaign, ran in 2nd edition using existing Ravenloft adventures. Making a list of potential adventures (actually a rather impressive catologue (spreadsheet) of every Ravenloft adventure from 2nd edition that I planned on sharing once finished. But I ran into a problem ...
