So, in "Roots of Evil" what would have happened if the PCs had simply given the Book of Souls to Inajira? Strahd had made a pact with the Greater Yugoloth before the creation of Ravenloft and during the Grand Conjunction it wanted payback but needed its Book of Souls. So what would have happened...

Thank you for the shout out. The first of those review episodes is below. I like the idea of a new D&D cartoon in theory, but the comments in the linked article are pretty vague. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzVzlP5SLZQ

I am not comfortable with the description of any mortal, humanoid race as automatically, objectively evil - with the exception of the mind flayers. I have read "Bury Mt Heart at Wounded Knee" and the description of orcs in gaming literature is often too similar to the 19th century description of...

I once tried to tell a fantasy version of the Aristocrats joke in a game only to be stopped by the GM.

I am amending my answer to "Not sooner enough."

My pessimism. Also, fascism sells because it looks worldly and practical, while freedom looks naive and childish. They are not what they look like but movies are all about selling the appealing illusion and jackbooted "heroes" in black sell.

Ironman will always suck up all the attention, he is such a showboating b------d. And I suspect Cap will come around to embrace the fascist movement.

I read elsewhere someone complaining about how in the movies Cap was not a bad-a@#. I do not know what they are talking about, case in point the elevator scene where he owns all the bad guys. What he is not is a jack-a@#. He is not rude, confrontational or some vain big swinging d@#$. That...

Well, people who like classic Ravenloft (and Universal Horror and Hammer Horror) will be cool with Ravenloft, but people accustomed to horror as defined by movies since 2000 will not think it qualifies as horror until someone is butt-raped by a running chainsaw. If it does not strike that note...

I am working on a Halloween episode for my own RPG review show... and Ravenloft, at least classic Ravenloft, is rooted in Gothic literature and the old Universal horror flicks and the Hammer horror movies. These movies were aired on TV late Saturdays and early Sundays in the 1970s and the 1980s...

Is Ravenloft even relevant anymore as a horror setting?

I tried to organize a skype or google game of FATE, but it fell apart. So I am trying again. I do not want to run the game, but I do want to play in such a game.

I agree but not everyone will try that hard and some games - such as All Flesh Must Be Eaten - lean towards gore.

I wonder if Elan will kill his father sooner than anyone expected.

Cthulhu will rise and teach us new kinds of fear... and eat us. (Less jokey, war and loss of easily usable resources and food)

And all this time I thought we were just fleeing from Cthulhu.

According to wikipedia; Assuming this is true, how often does a horror RPG reach actual horror, as compared to terror? How often do they just go for revulsion?

What do you think are great horror audio books?

This is October and thus the season of horror and pumpkin pie. Few RPGs involve pumpkin pie, but many involve horror to some degree. What are your thoughts on horror RPGs? Which one do you like? How many have you played and what where your experiences? Or is it all problematic as it leads to...
