Congratulations on your new little one!

While I really ought to check From The Shadows before posting, my opinion is that a person's history should reflect what that person actually knows/knew. It'd be a completely subjective history containing no more secrets than the individual knows about. If (s)he was part of a hidden plot that (s)he ...

Does anyone have the Dragon Annual 1 (for the Vampires A-Z article) and the Dragon Annual 3 (for the Denizens of Dread article, just extra kits for Ravenloft 2E)? Has anyone looked up the Annuals? Else I will. Er, no, looking back on this thread, it appears that was missed... Great catch, Giamarga!...

How about making it weirder (and semi-undead related) by adding this:

Have to disagree with that last sentence. An "anti-_______" is created by reversing everything. An ALTERNATE _______ is created by different choices. Similar but different animals. While I realize that you created this thread and so can set the discussion to anything you'd like, I disagre...

--- Romance from Beyond the Grave - Trash novel series, containing .... --- A Love Beyond Death (VRGttWD p80) .... --- The Dead Travel Fast (Gaz3 p19, SoD p249) I've only just now caught the reference of "The Dead Travel Fast" in my current rereading of Dracula , by way of the new comic b...

An intolerant cleanser of all those tainted by darkness, who'd callously slit a young Gennifer Weathermay-Foxgrove's throat rather than risk her ever manifesting the Dread Disease? Every time I read this idea when proposed in this thread, I thought to myself, "If Van Richten had become such, w...

Very, very, very, very, very cool! Thank you so much for this, Joël!

Thanks! This is one of the many updates I told you about.

So there's going to be more coming in the future? Badassery abounds.

As for Ghastria, I actually found a real world Ghastria / Gastria Castle ... although that Ghastria isn't derived from "gastric" but from "castria" meaning "castle"... But as for cool / silly names, I still think Strahdsbuddy wins it: his (purposeful?) misspelling of Pe...

I just had another thought, seeing as this thread started with a discussion of DC Comics and then went into the idea of how an anti-Ravenloft would be unworkable, and so: Isn't the DC Universe technically an anti-Ravenloft? I mean, look at it: Superman is technically the anti-Darklord for Metropolis...

Hey, everyone else is doing it, so: Anti-Richten: Whereas VR was an herbalist who sought to protect and nurture life, AR is an herbalist who seeks to avoid and forestall death. Whereas VR's life was peaceful and idyllic until the tragic death of his family, AR watched family member after family memb...

One of the things the Fraternity has considered doing is dumping the "Domain of the Month" and replacing it with "Darklord/NPC of the Month" and starting with 3e/4e stats and requesting hooks and stories. But we're all busy so it hasn't started yet. I've been meaning to request ...

Something told me to post what bits I have here and ask the esteemed Fraternity and my fellow posters to help fill in the missing pieces. [...]she’s somehow tied to her father’s curse (similar to Mordenheim with Adam, but she’s NOT the DL); due to this connection she has some of the undead creature...

They'd just shed the unprofitable portions like so much dead skin and be done with it. Basic business strategy. With any hope, they'll do sufficient damage to the D&D brand that it will be small enough to be purchasable by a small group of creatives like TSR used to be. If it's still so large t...

I might find that idea tempting, using The Brain and his cohorts as internet pirates and smugglers versus D'Honaire and his Obedients dutifully conforming to the new rules...
