Café de Nuit

The spell shout possibly. Maybe even charm person once a week?

Requiem?

You really should stop thinking of RPG's that much and play more for the fun of it.
I mean "lying", the DM is the only source of info?
Dude, relax, you're playing for the fun of it. This isn't the end of the world if your players dont like one scene you play.

If I am not mistaken there is this "phantom lover" domain lord of a pocket domain in one of the 2e books I have, dont remember now which, they're back home in Greece. I think it was the "tales from the crypt".
Anyway, if you can get a hold of it it has some really good info that could descrobe the ...

Guys, you're way off the point here. Yes I agree that keeping IC information out of players OOC is not a good idea and can be irritating. I totally agree that the whole point of playing is fun and a DM should never do something that would irritate the players in question.
But I am talking ...

Maybe I got misunderstood. I am not saying you should play your game diregarding your players. Yes it is not good being the kind of DM that kills PC's for fun. throws them into situations this is impossible to get out and making their lives difficult in general just to satisfy your evil DM pleasure ...

You should let your players know however that this isn't a goody goody save-the-princess-from-the-terrible-dragon campaign. This is Ravenloft. Most of the times, things they dont want to happen are the ones that happen. And stop thinking how the players will react. Do your game as you see fit, not ...

Exactly!!!

Actually I totally disagree with cutscenes. They take away the best element of Ravenloft. Getting the unexpected in your face the very worst time when you have no chance to react with coolness. They prepare the PC's of what to come and that is never a good idea.

First off the adventure states that if for any reason any of the PC's stay alone even for the slightest of time the dooblegangers will assume a form of their friends and kill them when the least expect them.
Though this would require the classic rolls of ...

Hour of the knife!!! For sure, amazing plotline and very good flow of the plot.
The part where the PC's find out they're dead... oh man, this brings back memories.
Shadow is very nice also but I would play it after I played the hour of the knife.

I suppose it all has to do with location. Where the half-breed is at the moment of the moon.
For starters when the half-vistana starts having his lunacy upon him(whic I agree should start at puberty) he is rarely by his own, so his own people could look out for him.
Now chaining, I don't think that ...

How would you use this class in Ravenloft?

I mean Warlocks seem thematically good for Ravenloft as villains, but what about the power checks ?

Most of their spell-like abilities seem to need a power check the way they are depicted. . . Not to mention they are inherintly demonic! :roll:

They are ...

Vidocq...

It doesn't sound bad. A decent teenager fantasy movie. However, I haven't seen the 1st movie, but most people seemed disappointed by it.

Dissapointed is such an understatement. The movie simply put, sucked big time. It was for the max age of 12, and even kids would reach the point of saying "is ...
