Café de Nuit

Caveat: I played this game at GenCon (Indianapolis; August 4 – 8, 2010) however, as of this writing, the game is not yet available. At the time it was a complete shrink-wrapped game box and package as one would purchase and I am inclined to believe that it is the finished product, pending any severe...

I wish that Brittney Spears was unmasked as a doppleganger in the midst of an identity crises. Granted. Unfortunately, the doppleganger failed to kill the real Brittany Spears who is actually much, much, worse and people STILL buy her crap and follow her around. I wish those little heart candies yo...

Hey, folks! As one submitter has a medical excuse (how's the hand, Nathan?) and at least two others have had IRL delays crop up, I'm extending the deadline for first drafts of written text by another two weeks. How's the end of this month (Feb. 29th) sound? Consider it a Valentine's Day present, bo...

Hrmm...

Yeah, should have checked that out before the Holidays...


The deadline is February, if I remember right (cannot find it admits all these posts). February... what?

just a small tidbit, there actually are excerpts fron azalin's journal in that book. Yeah, there is two or three. Not really enough to get a true take on events from Azalin's perspective. if my memory is exact, in the ravenloft 2: house of the griffon hill, the land has no darklord, azalin ca use h...

Granted but, in so doing, now every day except the Day after Thanksgiving (as it now officially called on the calendar) is deemed 'Black'. Black Monday Black Tuesday Black Wednesday Black Thursday Black Firday , unless it is, The Day After Thanksgiving Black Saturday Black Sunday I wish for vulcaniz...

30) The PCs slowly wake as if from a very long sleep but still feel tired. as they slowly try to stretch the stiffness from their limbs they come to realize that something is wrong and must now discover what happened to Il Aluk while they slept and why more and more of the residents are developing f...

"Death is a release, not a punishment" - Braveheart. Darklords that age notwithstanding, the idea that the Dark Powers would let their pets 'die' of something as rudimentary and ordinary as 'old age' almost makes them seem benevolent and that just is not 'true to form' for the Dark Powers....

FWIW, I thought of a simpler explanation for that: One does not simply teleport out of Mordor.... Sorry, ahem. One does not simply teleport out of the Dread Demiplane. Until Forlorn arrived, where else was Azalin going to go? He could simply bop about in Barovia to avoid Strahd but, that is neither...

Much like modern media, I would think they would have an actual ceremony. Something to publicize the event and to show support and faith of the Church of Ezra (which has a Dementlieu Specific Sect).

The Caliban is just plain all kinds of neat. The other side of the coin is that, like the 1/2 orc, I have never seen more than one PC play it in the past 4 years. The other thing that I see in its disfavor is that the Caliban, as a PC playable, was strictly an Arthaus idea, not WotC. To that end, Wo...

I am in the middle (maybe, it is early and I only just started) of an essay on the importance and use of sailing superstitions in horror fiction.

That said, I need a defined word count and where it goes when its done if its wanted.

I sea all manner of monsters and animals but, what about plants? Perhaps an animate/intelligent Sargasso? Coral mimics? Fun Fact - Coconuts float and use that to get from place to place, surely some kind of monster could look like an innocent coconut until someone takes it and loses a hand. Essays: ...

I have a few decks scattered about and I like to keep one of them in the briefcase while at work or travel. I find the art and instructions for background use to be a handy tool when writing adventures or looking for ideas/inspiration. I have the White Wolf Tarokka deck and it has never failed for e...

WotC's books have been real hit or miss, so far as I am concerned. Heroes of Horror, Excellent! Fiendish Codex, Poor! When they dedicate themselves to trying to improve the game or expand on a niche (say, for example, the Complete Books series) they do remarkably well on average. Then, when they try...
