I actually like the Shadow Fey, particularly their interaction with Tepest but I've never really been able to set anything in the Shadow Rift. Certainly has the whole creepy fey thing downpat.

Actually now that I think about it the intelligent zombie thing actually covers Meredoth and his domain in the Nocturnal Sea (whose name I've forget temporarily). Neblingtode! That's it. The Lebendtod. So even that concept is already in at least one domain. shrugs

I don't think the concept's that bad, but really, just make the domain and give it a new name.

No thank you, I'd like to keep that silliness out of the setting.

Thank you Mr Pedant. What I meant (and surely you know this) was that the domain has appeared unnaturally (whether strictly created ex nihilo or draw from elsewhere) but the people are as real as you or I.

I am going to take a wild guess and tell you we will never see the Ravenloft specific pantheons again. No Core, no Ezra. Weirdly, the setting already has a Lady of Ravens.

I don't understand why you are so hung up on the idea of forcing them to face Strahd. If you want to run that scenario, you can, just have him close the borders. Why is that "the point"? I never said that. And I don't particularly see "vampire land" as more horrific. That's not subtle. That's...

No. It's not really created to his specifications. It is created to match the environment he hails from and then he has to watch it "ruined", so to speak. Huh? They don't come from the same place. Dementileu and Richemulot were founded by inhabitants of Mordent, which itself came from an...

It's definitely two separate domains in a single cluster. I haven't played either Vecna Reborn or Die Vecna Die so I can't testify to how enjoyable the adventure is. Vecna and Kas were really only around for 1 sourcebook and a pair of adventures though.

Oh definitely, but that's more because the Black Box depictions were pretty barebones. Tristan Hiregaard didn't even have a first name in the original writeup.

Drakov is also likely father to another Darklord (Gabrielle Aderre) and grandfather to a putative one (Malocchio Aderre, the Dukkar). EDIT: Another fun thing with Drakov. He's a mercenary lord from Thenol, in Taladas. Meaningless Dragonlance tie-in? Maybe not. Thenol is ruled by the Church of...

Some weren't gothic horror, but they are all definitely horror.

You are presuming that only Dark Lords can be the enemy in Ravenloft not true. And yes, as pointed out, this may be a situation in which you could utilise closing the border. But again, it isn't in Strahd's personality to want to pursue you anyway. Strahd is your enemy because you have blundered...

He really only shares a name and an afinity for impaling with Vlad Tepes. He's actually much more like this guy:

But you can chart a course with the map. Thousands of people make the journey from Lamordia to Borca all the time. Not many go to Valachan but that's because its a backwater. The Mistways provide generally reliable routes to most of the other places. Yeah this is blatantly not true. They...
