Café de Nuit

Legacy of the Blood includes the details of being a descendant of a Darklord, or connection to the great families of the core. So what about the families outside the core? I'm sort of tossing around some ideas of a Legacy of the Blood thing for the grandchildren of Haki Shinpi (sons of his sons) and...

A halfling darklord/domain could turn a normally harmless love for hearth and home on its head by turning said love into a militant paranoia against perceived threats to that status quo. Like something that motivated weeding out elements that were perceived to threaten that status quo (adventurers,...

Ya knows whats something we could have done for this ones theme? Children of the Night: Ancient Dead. We tried to do it once but it never got off the ground but theirs plenty we could have worked with.
Ah well, theres always next time

My big challenge in coming up with demi/nonhuman domains is that demihumans in D&D tend to be humans with funny hats, that is humans with set fantasy cultural tropes. Very few would be alien enough to constitute something different from what I could do with humans. The main poddinl exception I ...

My dark powers are equals with the Serpent from Die Vecna, Die and the Lady of Pain. Basically the universe was reshaped by previous being managing to ascend to heights beyond our knowing, and left behind several "familiars" to do jobs for him. The thing is, the only one doing its job is t...

Pick some ideas from the greatest bayou movie of all: Scooby Doo on Zombie Island

Odaire is a bit of a favorite of mine, this town of orphans still recovering from the tragedty of Maligno's rampage and living in dread he will do the same to them. But I have always wondered its relationship with outside realms and how big it actually is. Do the children of Odaire even know of the ...

This calls for a short module: "Blood and Chocolate".
And it should in no way resemble that magicalrealms adventure "Blood in the Chocolate"

Could also be the result of an insane Dementleiu confectioner. He gets the coca beans from one of the those south-american-like realms from the fanbooks, and either grows obsessed or gets cursed beans.

What are some custom artifacts you've made or had ideas for in the Dread Realms? I'm tossing around a couple of Lamodian Artifacts: Three Automatons that are controlled via remote (and who as they are gathered together are more and more likely to gain sentience and become dream golems) and basically...

My take with Falkovnia's effectiveness has always been that it has great potential and is capable of great acts of subterfuge...when the guys in charge ignore Drakov's behind the times, near insane, standards. While Drakov is head of Falkovnia, his curse just means that HE can't win in games of war,...

A living Raunie with ghost sense, she and her tribe help the ghosts as they travel in exchange for protecting the tribe in turn.

I'm tossing around an idea to submit for the latest QtR and could use some help filling out ideas. Basically its a collection of ghosts who have agreed to help each other with their unfinished business as well as defend each other against ghost hunters, wizards, and others. I also have some prominen...

I'm planning on making an npc who is a half-vistani male diviner. He doesn't have the sight ability, so would that still be allowed, or would that be verging into Dukkar territory? I'm having him be an agent of the FoS who aspires to be a member

What have you done with Cavitius in your Ravenloft campaign? I've always held that after Vecna left, the realm still managed to stay around as a living wound in the Mists, and a possible way out. However, this also made the place extremely dangerous, full of undead and horrors unheard of in the rest...
