Café de Nuit

Shadows rise once more in Sithicus... with The Return of the Black Rose!

A mega-adventure or campaign set in the domain of Sithicus.

Fully detailing the domain, featuring statblocks for the most important NPCs, old and new (more than 10 statblocks), new monsters, and an epic plot, presented in 272 pages, that will shake the land of the specters, and perhaps the entire Land of Mists.

The product includes more than 20 (in 4k) maps of the domain, its regions, and the Ruins of Nedragaard Keep.

This product does not use AI in any way.

Seeking to continue the classic Ravenloft timeline (but also fitting into the new incarnation of the setting), this adventure takes the Demiplane of Dread a step closer to the Time of Unparalleled Darkness.

This is the first product in a series of adventures, and also a new project, entitled "Hour of the Raven", conceived by the owner of the eponymous YouTube channel, Gabriel Jansen, in partnership with Leandro Zerbinatti de Oliveira, both also members of the Black Feather.

Available on DMs Guild

Sounds nice!
I suppose it's set in 5e Sithicus?

Hi there!

I'm Gabriel from the Hour of the Raven channel, and I'm one of the authors of The Return of the Black Rose.

The adventure is not set on Sithicus from Ravenloft: Horrors Within. It is set on Sithicus from the Gazetteer IV and from the novel Specter of the Black Rose. It is intended to be a development of the plots and characters from the classic Ravenloft timeline, respecting the previous lore.

I don't care for 5E much, but I deeply appreciate the things that Gabriel has written. Consider me a fan of his content. I will have to look into this.

thank god, i was going to get a copy, but the bad taste from the Horrors within gave me pause, now that i know its not linked to it i'm going to pick it up

If you have the chance to follow Gabriel's YouTube channel, his content has been as respectful as possible to the classic campaign setting. So, that alone is a good sign.

Rest assured, all of our products (from those of Black Feather) to this new Hour of the Raven project are always based on the classic lore of the setting.
And in that sense, Gabriel is a true encyclopedia of Ravenloft.

I remember you! You had another quality product, didn't you? I like that you respect the lore, my friends. Best of luck.

We have some things released in the guild. From Ravenloft, with the Black Feather project, we have The Dread Space, The Weathermay's Survival Guide to the Mists, and an adventure in Dread Space, The Horrors of El-Koth.

Outside of Black Feather, I have a lot of things released in various settings...

As fans of the classic setting, our idea is to expand the timeline, if all goes well, all the way to TOUD...

Gabriel Jansen and I recorded a video talking about the adventure. The video is in Portuguese but has English subtitles.
