[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7484175, member: 23751"] Easy peasy. First I'll be using page 50 of the DMG which notes that there are horrific demiplanes in Shadowfell. I decide to use that rule to create a demiplane which I will name Ravenloft. Next I will use page 14 of the DMG and use the rues there to draw out a kingdom sized map of a country that I will call Barovia. I will enact the rules on page 15 to create the town which I will also call Barovia and then name the castle Ravenloft. I will use page 40 of the DMG to decide to make this place one of dark fantasy with vampires on the battlements. Now I need a ruler, and rulers are also mentioned in the DMG. Since I've used the rules for a dark fantasy environment, encounters are listed in the DMG which includes the MM, and page 89 of the DMG gives me the rules for creating NPCs, I create an NPC vampire and name him Strahd. I then give him traits as listed in the NPC section that amount to how the real Strahd acts. Not only have I created Strahd using the rules of the DMG to give me the parameters to create him, I have also used the rules in the DMG to give me the parameters to create Barovia, and Ravenloft. There is no differece between using the parameters given by Pictionary to create Cagney and Lacey, and using the parameters given by the DMG to create the above. In both cases we are given the outline and we have leeway to create the specifics such as names and such. Note: There are many other rules in there to help flesh things out even further. The DMG is all I need to create Ravenloft, though I do need the MM to get the stats for a vampire. [/QUOTE]
