GenCON News?

Saw clarification on twitter that ravenloft can be played stand-alone, or as an expansion to D&D.

From what I've gathered from various tweets, it sounds like it will work both ways. You could use it as sort of its own game, or more as a standard D&D campaign setting.

Fantastic, thanks!

Well, if it's more of a "tool kit" for fantasy horror/dark fantasy, then it probably should include rules for supernatural monster PCs.

But I can already do that in and with other games I prefer to 4e.

Emphasis mine.

Monster PCs in Ravenloft? If that's true, that's a radical change from previous versions of the setting, where evil acts corrupted PCs until they were damned by the Mists (and taken from play as NPCs).

I just hope the vampires don't "sparkle" too.

Who's to say PCs don't get damned still, and removed from play if they become Darklords?

Also, DM Kit and Rules Compendium will have option treasure award systems that are different from treasure parcels, including random generation.

Nice!

1) where can I find GenCon news? Is anyone liveblogging?

2) Isn't here supposed to be something revealed about the D&D Adventure Tools? Who's following that?

Don't they become DM's at that point?

 

[Truth Seeker]

Don't know if this was mentioned already.

From Sean K(ing) reynolds--Ultimate Magic (working title) for PF supplements.

From Erik (The Prince) Mona--Ultimate Combat (working title) 'same effect'

Description--Both themes will cover different new feats, magic, and items across the PF world from different cultures.

Subject to change.

(This was a direct conversation from both)

Zack's live blog is a good one here, complete with lots of pictures.

Details of the CircvsMaximvs party, and the exciting event that unfortunately happened there, can be found here.
