Café de Nuit

I reda through teh domain descriptions and can't get a clear real world reference idea from this country. the Gaz mixes american natives with Swedish names and black panthers set in Norway/Canada-ish country. And the Darklord is just plain weird. Can someone give me some background insight on how I ...

toe be exact, it would be die Wächter. the 'n'shouldn't be there. But seing van Helsing in it, the Dutch name would be de Wachters or de Bewakers.
oh well, whatever you like you use

I am starting a game in a few weeks. And knowing that little place well allready I just found my inspiration. Thanks.

For simplicity, base the whole bocklet around a single domain. Barovia I'd say. Barovia enthails all that is essential and classy about Ravenloft campaigns. Of course, mention that there are many other lands, but to start, Barovia will do by far.
Mention the classic elements of Ravenloft: Typical ...

Ravenloft in the old days was simple and straight foreward. A treat for players who like it that way and a relief from all the complex stuff. But those of us who started that way have evolved with teh game, have searched for more background and I for my part was enjoying reading and re-reading the ...

Just a little idea for share:

Brother Lucien Brinedeaux of the Exalted monastery of the Guradian in the Mists in Southern Richemulot had a revelation, a dream. In this dream he saw what really happend when Ezra spoke to the mists and offered herself to them: She commited sucide. She sacrificed ...

ooh yes, second core, or a massive cluster.
make it a cluster, I like clusters

not being into japanese horror whatsoever I never got my players into Rokushima Tayoo. But this material you've written is very enticing. Could you work it out the way places are presented in the latest Ravenloft core book? That would be absolutely fabolous.

I crossed Grimm RPG d20 on the net and seen a thread about a spinn-off on this forum. Fairy-tales gone bad sounds nice to me. Has anyone played the game, read it and used it in something else (Ravenloft domain ruled by Rapunzel)? Give me some short ideas on feel and material of teh RPG please ...

Tome of Horrors I allready had a Huecuva. And it wasn't a template.

aah, we have decided to take the best of both worlds. standard wizard is hermetic. hala go verbena, anchorites are choristers.
The whole thing just needs more depth now, but I'll leave that to the players.

I'm also considering translating some spells, erm, rotes.
(darn difficult tiping with a baby ...

My troupe and I 've been playing Mage for some time and entered D&D for the first time. We find the magic system, storywise, lacking. How do magi learn magic, new spell, how do they cast them, any druid can use the same spells? Does a magic missile always look the same or does a wizards personal ...

isle of the raven did it for me. currently reading all the gazeteers and happy with any more material as sharp and clear as this. Very crisp, very clear, will be used within this month,
thanks

aaah yes, masterraces, good idea. I like the idea of jester, colour lacking, but only in the cities, the countryside is breathtaking.
this is a fruitfull thread, very inspiring

very clear pictures and mood drawn here. but I want to avoid overuse and overdose. The misery soon becomes common if mentioned that often. The blinded child playing with the two broken pieces of a doll, the girl in with the turn brides dress, the crying in man under te cage holding his starving wife ...
