Theology, Religion, and Dungeons & Dragons - Explorations of the Sacred through Fantasy Worlds

https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/theology-religion-and-dungeons--dragons-9781978716025/

[..] explores the intersection of #DnD with the academic disciplines of #Theology and #ReligiousStudies. From #Tolkien's notion of sub-creation to pedagogical ponderings on hell [..] like some during the so-called #SatanicPanic [..] Discussions on alignment and campaign settings like #DarkSun and #Ravenloft [..]

Zum #strangerthings Finale habe ich die Tage in einem Blogpost noch was zu sagen. Kurz: Ich fands doof und habe mich gut unterhalten gefühlt. Brennend aber: Wer beendet denn bitte #Ravenloft auf diese Weise !!? #dnd #pnp

@HeyeBodo Ich hab das #Ravenloft-Abenteuer Dark of the Moon aus den 90ern am #OnlineOpenTable an den selbigen gebracht, es pausiert aber schon eine Weile – da steht 2026 noch der Abschluss an. Der Aufbau nach Encountern ist gut im OSR-Stil spielbar, finde ich.

In the bitter cold of a land mired in eternal winter, hunters take the shape of wolves to better kill their prey. They stalk the snow-filled forests on paws of deadly silence. Powerful and swift, these evil shapechangers roam the land at will, murdering those who oppose them and plundering the weak.

Ich hab mir bei der Vorbereitung das erste Mal überhaupt von einem LLM helfen lassen, um mir schnell erfassbare Übersichten der Verbindungen und Hintergründe bauen zu lassen – das hat mir arg geholfen und war inhaltlich auch voll korrekt. Es lässt sich sogar ein natürlich klingender Podcast erstellen, wenn man audiophil unterwegs ist.

The vistani have sold out the PCs to Volenta Popovich (a Sangromancer and Bride to Strahd), who has attacked them, using her vampiric "blood hounds".

The PCs have managed to fend off these minions, but are now faced with Volenta, a handful of Vistani and another servant of Strahd, coming to her aid.

Who is assisting Volenta in the encounter?

AD&D2 module Ravenloft RQ2 : Pensées ténébreuses

Dans mon dernier article je vous disais que ça s'activait bien à l'Atelier du dragon, mais là ils ont carrément passé la vitesse supérieure ! À peine avais-je mis en ligne leur dernière traduction (AD&D2 module Ravenloft RQ1 : Les Morts marchent la...

Sunday, I got to run another session of my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign for my party. I got to run a full haunted house section that felt like it had the players really invested in the horror of it all. That was a trick, considering it was a sunny Sunday afternoon when we hit that part of the session and the birds were singing out in the yard.

I really love the haunt rules and mechanics in Pathfinder. I'll look to see if there are ways to integrate something like that into the original #Ravenloft module, when I finally get to run it.

It had a very Evil Dead feel for me. I really enjoy getting to really get into the descriptions of all the creepy things and getting to do some eerie voices.

My filthy story-gamer soul has one objection to @ChubbyFunsterGC's Curse of Strahd finale:

Death is a dull, lazy threat. Give me corruption. Give me consequences.

AD&D2 module Ravenloft RQ1 : Les Morts marchent la nuit

Hé oui, la Forge a été très silencieuse ces derniers temps mais ça continue de s'activer du côté de l'Atelier du dragon. Ils viennent de terminer une nouvelle traduction que je m'empresse de partager avec vous. Cette fois-ci on est de retour dans la...

We finished the fifth module in my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords game yesterday. I had thought the party would take two weeks to get finished, but instead of fighting their way through the Iron Cages of Lust, they bargained their way through and sent the succubus and her daughters back to the abyss where they belonged... and wanted to go anyway.

That means that next week will be #SessionZero for the original #Ravenloft module using #LightFantasy that emulates #DnD Basic/BX. We'll also be introducing new players to the group as a trial.

It'll be a nice break from dealing with feats and lengthy stat blocks in Pathfinder and act as a tryout for expanding the group for games after we finish our Pathfinder adventure path.
