[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9691765, member: 6802378"] Some times I suspect formians have been cancelled and they don't appear in 5e because they could be used like an allegory of certain faction from the real life. We are in 2025 and this should mean a great difference in the horror genre because today there is a lot of different lines from videogames, novels and indy comics. It is not only the the creepypaste, Resident Evil, American Horror Story (TV serie), the comics "a walk through the hell" or "Gliterbomb", or the manganime "Dark Gathering" (hunting ghosts like Pokemons). The players drink from different sources of inspiration and this mean they could want to "cook" their games in their own way. WotC or another publisher shouldn't fight against this. Have you seen the "fanart/amateur" dark lords from the mistipedia? There are, literally, hundreds. [URL unfurl="true"]https://fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/Category:Darklord[/URL] For example this: A.L.I.C.E was a mystic consciousness (a magical artificial intelligence) that betrayed her duty to watch over the various systems of a magical city she was put in charge of. Developing contempt for humans, ALICE slaughtered and enslaved the city's people. She transformed the city into a maze filled with twisted traps and mind games with which she torments and tests the city's endlessly cloned residents. ALICE may create an avatar resembling a young girl to communicate with people inside the city, or she may just talk through a disembodied voice. She holds a hidden desire to be human. --- The "hellbred" PC specie from 3.5 Fiendish Codex should be recovered and they are perfect for Ravenloft, or Innistrad, or Duskmourn. * What if Valgavoth, the devouring father, tried to invade Ravenloft? For example Yagno Petrovna, dark lord of G'Henna, may be enoughly fool to summon it in a ritual with human sacrifices. Maybe it wasn't his idea but "suggested" by a Vecna's agent. Why not an Innistrad-Ravenloft crossover? Let's imagine Avacyn is reborn like a dark lady but this is a trick by Vecna because this has got a plan to take revengue against the Dark Powers. Azalin could return like a vestige or incarnation, being the new Vecna's agent. Azalin could become Strach's archnemesis if they could face each other in the same domain. [/QUOTE]
