Café de Nuit

No.

I'd like to see it updated weekly over in the Fan Fiction forum, since it's essentially graphic fanfiction. That and, well, y'know, we really need more stuff happening over there.

Hm...well, if you genuinely wanted to push things, Malachie as presented in the original CAS story "The Enchantress of Sylaire" ( :wink: ) is a wizard who inflicted lycanthropy on himself by drinking from a cursed pool and was turned permanently into wolf form except at certain moon-phases...

Which brings up a question--does that mean that Ravenloft, "the shadow prison," isn't a prison for the darklords at all, but a place where the Higher Powers of good and evil alike imprisoned the Dark Powers ? (And every 1000 years, the seal weakens, so that they're able to force their way ...

Like the thread title says, here be spoilers, 'cause I'm going to do some posturing, self-aggrandizing yammering here about the story. First off, though, I'd like to thank Rotipher, NeoTiamat, Nathan, and HuManBing for clearing up several of my Darkon questions, and the writers of Gazetter II for cl...

"I-it was lying on my desk when I came to work this morning, Chief Constable." Marcus Bretton, curator of the Martira Bay Museum of the Arts, handed over the stiff buff-colored envelope. It had been slit open, Liem Osgul noted, by a very sharp letter opener, which told him something about ...

Man, I think I must have drunk Unclear-Up by the six-pack when starting this thread. I know--or at least assumed--that Mordenheim's belief wasn't per se idiotic (my "mad scientist" comment implied that I didn't, I suspect); my original "numbered 11" comment was directed at the La...

Mind you, I don't mean Ravenloft-the-game-setting; I mean Ravenloft-the-demiplane. Let's keep that straight! :D I'm especially tying this back into "Roots of Evil," but essentially what I'm getting at is the idea, from the Vistani's POV (and yes, IDHTBIFOM--that's really useful, Roti! :D -...

11. Lamordia's "rationalism" appears to be nothing of the sort. On the contrary, it more accurately resembles "rejection of the divine/supernatural as a belief system." Haven't you ever noticed that rationalism when in the presence of religion dost protest too much? Galileo wasn...

Problem is, when you get back to the DM notes, it still reads "Mordenheim's Monster (Adam), Darklord of Lamordia" in nice big black letters. And then on page 155..."Regardless of the truth, Adam became the darklord of Lamordia for maiming Elise."..."His hunger for acceptanc...

You remember rightly...and wrongly, too. They're inconsistent. Darned Dark Powers...it's probably all false history anyway. :twisted: Seriously, though, he's largely "Dr. Heinfroth" throughout the adventure (although the domain is Dominia, a nod towards his former alias). The only referenc...

Granted! 1,735 new theaters open, showing a quality selection of the types of movies you like. For an added bonus, the seating is comfortable, the prices reasonable, and the concession stand popcorn comes both with and without artificial butter-flavored grease. Unfortunately, they all open at variou...

Yes, to the public at large, Daclaud Heinfroth is only known as "Dr. Dominiani"; only a few selected individuals (Baron Metus, Akriel, Gundar, probably certain other evil correspondents) know him as Heinfroth-the-cerebral-vampire. It's doubtful that anyone in Gundarak realized that he was ...

All these years, and still nobody ever groks Lamordia, even with Adam flatly stating it: S: [Pause] Lamordia is his, isn’t it? A: Yes. It should not be his, but it is. We are all his. We are all his children. I read that, and liked it. Problem is, when you get back to the DM notes, it still reads &...

God-Brain: Not having any generative organs myself, and therefore not being subject to reproductive urges, I find your question clearly self-serving and designed not as a request for information but as an attempt to gratify yourself with humor at the expense of others. However, as I did agree to res...

Ahhh, Barnes & Noble's used bookstore network at work for me again (I also have them to thank for several of my long-desperately-yearned-for Basil Copper books...). I've pretty nearly read it through, making it the second-best Ravenloft product I've read this month (after VRS: Dopplegangers, nat...
