Please tell me you will include this in the Hardcover book so I don't feel bad you took the time only to make all that up for my campaign. It should be brought forward as a "Narrative way to the Depository" sidebar or something. Well-written, flavorful and evocative. -Marcon

One of my players decided to play an undercover Shahalesti agent in Gate Pass. He has been sent on a mission a while back to investigate the rumors of an imminent war on the city. I can foresee this as being a problem as early as Act 2 in the first adventure. When it becomes obvious that...

Hey guys, I'll be kicking off my WotBS campaign shortly so expect a few posts from me as I finish up the prep work. Right after the fight at the Poison Apple Pub, the PCs are having a few scripted encounters on their way to the Depository Tower. I don't find any of these encounters thrilling...

There has been a lot of talk on the Boards (Albeit less than I expected) about Expedition to Castle Ravenloft but still no reviews per se. Having read the book from cover to cover, I'll try to give you a good idea of what it's all about. Bear in mind that I started playing AD&D 4 years before...

I know there are some not listed in the stickied thread and a search will yield a whole bunch of false-positives. Can anyone help? -Marcon

I'm meddling with the idea of converting Torrent into a PC. I'm not a big fan of having to play "lead-them-by-the-nose NPC". I understand I don't have to spill it out everytime the heroes are wondering what to do but then again, Torrent knows a lot of things, has a lot of contacts and, quite...

Actually, the whole purpose of the kraken is basically to sink the ship and the characters themselves are supposed to survive via one of those "Ravenloft scripted miracles" (A bunch of dolphin "broken ones" save them since they are near the Markovia domain). I like the fact an overland sea trip...

Hi, I'll be running a cross of the Maiden Voyage module and the Neither Man nor Beast intro to kick-start my new campaign, the goal being to crash my PCs on Markovia and go on with Neither Man nor Beast. The reason why I'm using parts of 2 separate modules is mainly because none of them fully...

After years of learning D&D with a DM who was basically creating his dungeons on the spot, I joined another group where the DM intended to bring us into Ravenloft and its (Back then) host of published adventures. It all started with "Neither man nor beast". Spoilers follow, though I guess it...

I'm surprised no one mentioned "The Tomb of Abysthor" by Necromancer Games, especially since its only drawback would probably be totally irrelevant to you, considering you will be handpicking parts of it. My concern is that it was all over the place, with one floor suitable for 2nd-level...

I brought this issue in another thread but I feel like it deserves its own discussion. So you sometimes play board games against your friends. You're obviously not omniscient so you make mistakes and therefore, you lose more often than not. But among the same group of friends, you happen to...

You nailed it right there, didn't want to start a flame war or something but I can't deny that 4e previews are directly related to the original post. I'll probably be running a Ravenloft campaign, fights will be few and far between, most likely not in a dungeon and I'd like to retain the power...

Thinking about reverting to gridless combats in my new campaign. The goal here is not debating "To Grid or not to Grid", let's say I have my reasons, the main one being that there's no way my players can stay in-character when they are plotting their next move over squares and minis. I want...

Specifically looking for something to play a Ravenloft Campaign with. D&D 3.5 is the obvious choice at first glance but just wondering if there are other viable options for a Gothic Horror Game. Less focus on combats, better character development, etc. -Marcon

Just wondering if someone could point me to a list of all the "widely-played" RPG systems out there (Or those worth knowing about or even taking a look at even though they are not widespread). Wikipedia lists an awful lot, including dead games and very obscure ones. Some of them ring a bell...

Just wondering if anyone has ever bothered to put up a list of all the "best" house rules out there. "Best" could be further expanded into "House rules that a lot of DMs have incorporated into their game because they just plainly make sense, improve the game, simplify it, etc." If such a...

Not sure if you are talking about this huge thread/rant when you say the Star Wars Web Site is of little help but if so, sadly, that's the closest official info we have right now. -Marcon

Never mind, just found this : http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2005 Just can't wait! -Marcon

I bought Wicked Fantasy Factory's "Rumble in the Wizard's Tower" and I absolutely love it. Now I know there was another 1st-level adventure that was released on a specific day (GM Day, Free RPG Day, something like that) called "Temple of Blood" and now it seems like I can't get it anywhere...

Exactly, without having them plainly start at Level 2. I am now set on using "Rumble in the Wizard's Tower" a few days before the start of "The Scouring of Gate Pass". There is a perfectly acceptable reason why the town military wouldn't give a damn about a self-proclaimed warlord brewing...
