Re: [VRGtR]: Alhoon's ramblings and discussions of them

Oooor... I could just eliminate Ivan completely and Borca remains the same anyway. Well, the concept of two Darklords sharing a domain and fighting over it is a good trope. For Ivana, I say keep her poison elements, as that is one aspect of the culture Borca was made with. Her need for romantic lov...

Re: Grand Estate Cluster: Inspired by Darkest Dungeon

Your writeup for Veldesteen intrigued me, because I got the impression that the Dark Powers' act of snaring the Crystal might have been almost... benign. Like they wanted to insulate the Prime Material Plane from what might well be some monstrous disease from the Far Realm. In their own playground,...

Re: Grand Estate Cluster: Inspired by Darkest Dungeon

Well, intentions do matter; did she understood exactly what she was doing? After all she was trying to save her land and people by starvation and draught. When I wrote her up, she was being reckless with the ritual, perhaps to the point of willful negligence. Since she was no arcane expert, she mis...

Re: Grand Estate Cluster: Inspired by Darkest Dungeon

Aside from the situation of Gwydion and Loht, simply because something else is "eviler" than the damned in question doesn't necessarily call the damned's candidacy for darklord status into question. I mean, technically speaking, summoning a horror beyond space and imagination to one's wor...

Wow. Thanks for the compliment. Not to sound like a complete newbie, how would I do that? Is there part of the forum to submit it or some official process?

Edit: Nevermind. Found it.

Re: Grand Estate Cluster: Inspired by Darkest Dungeon

Wonderfull; we need some good-aligned Corbeau to balance this out now. I pondered doing that in Veldesteen with Henrietta Corbeau. It's partially why I left if she was the Darklord there ambiguous. She's receiving punishment for summoning the Crystal Out of Space, but the alien entity is clearly wa...

Re: The Caliban Chronicles: Nonhuman-Friendly Ravenloft

I love the idea of genasi based off the dread elementals. While reskinning regular genasi works in a pinch, to see ideas for true dread genasi for 5E would be a treat. It could help build up the lore of the Dread Elemental planes and update them for 5E as well.

Grand Estate Cluster: Inspired by Darkest Dungeon

Note: These are first draft ideas and I had to try and see how they might be received. The Grand Estate Cluster The Grand Estate Cluster is an unusual Cluster in its creation. Like many Domains, it was started with one land for a new Darklord. As the years continued, the location in the Material Pla...

As I only had a few notes on the backstory, I took the liberty of combining them with your story.
I'm flattered you liked the idea. Thanks! :)

Re: Cyre 1313 The Mourning Rail domain

I would say that the train doesn't stop so long as the Last Passenger is awake, since he believes they're still outrunning the disaster which killed them all. His punishment is constantly seeing and being in constant fear of the calamity which killed him, which he experiences when he sees mist. When...

Re: Devils and Demons in Ravenloft

*If you don't know what I refer to, the way the dark powers trap fiends is tempting them with rituals that give them increase power but bind them more and more and more into the land. When the fiend does the final step, he is trapped for good, as a darklord. Your printing press fiend sounds like a ...

Devils and Demons in Ravenloft

I'm just curious about the consensus since I had an idea to bring infernal enemies for an adventure. I just hope to pick the brains of the people who know Ravenloft inside and out. Considering the metaphysical nature of Ravenloft, trapping summoned creatures inside the mist, would Devils and Demons ...

Re: An expanded Shadowlands Cluster: Fallen Avonleigh?

Well, perhaps you can take inspiration from Gawain and Tristain. Gawain accepted a challenge from a Green Knight and beheaded him, but the knight survived. Then when he quested to meet the green knight for the returned strike, he found a citadel and was tempted by a maiden. He received gifts from he...
