Café de Nuit

As for Croc's curse, I have to wonder if he's less of a darklord, in truth, than he's an embodied curse on all the other animals . Remember: the domain's origin-story depicts the animals voluntarily handing over all their own strengths to Crocodile, relying on him to eliminate the hairless ape thre...

I went with the Mad Scientists, for one thing it would probably include some neat cursed artifacts with them.

Yes, that's much like what I had in mind. It is important to have human tribes there for me, human tribes that mesh with the jungle as much as the animals. As far as I rememer, the original writing doesn't have any of that, does it? Not since King Crocodile ate all the hairless apes, at least. :rol...

The other problem is that Wild West firearms were greatly superior to anything as appears in standard Ravenloft-I'm leaning towards some sort of FORT save vs. a "Gun Rating"+the shooter's skill+miscellaneous modifiers to avoid an instant kill if hit, making sure it's understood armor bonu...

Logistically speaking, it's unlikely that Stezen could monopolize every bit of flavor-bearing food that's harvested during his "up" phases. It's not like the Ghastrians are growing their crops inside a Vegas casino or South African diamond mine: even if he tries to claim it all for himsel...

One thing to remember is that anyone born in Ghastria after it entered the dread domains has no idea that food is even supposed to have a taste. They may have a real hard time adapting to foods that have a taste. Even bread would be flavorful to them and it might be the equivalent of somebody who i...

The problem is that it is hard to see a necromancer as anything other than evil. The literal definition is "Death magic", how can that be anything other than evil?

I can see getting rid of Kharkov he doesn't add much. I actually like Davion . Eason is interesting but I don't like his back story very much. You shouldn't wind up being a dark lord for something you can't help doing, same goes for Malkin. Death is also expendable. What good is a domain that you ca...

...but King Crocodile just bores the snot out of me. He does what, exactly? Eats things? And his curse is that someday he's going to die? Okay, let's do that and get a real darklord in there. (I have some ideas on the subject that I'm going to keep mum just now.) Dont everyone go mental but does th...

Well, that's the problem with Borca. The entire domain is beautifully set up that the whole rotten system is eating itself apart from the inside, and if either of the two horrible people in charge dies the entire system will collapse like a soggy gingerbread house. That's as well as maybe. But quot...

Hey all. Well, the subject line about says it all. I'm stuck on how Necromancy, Shadow, and such should be affected in 4E. I like the previous editions, where these effects had extra things going on, but one of the primary drawbacks to these extra effects was that the ability usually required a Pow...

I'm torn. I don't like the limited feel of 4e compared to the flexible sandbox that was 3e. And 4e really needed another 3-6 months of playtesting and tweaking before launch as there's some pretty glaring errors (skill challenges, the discrepancies between monster defenses and player attacks and vi...
