Oct 05, 2005 2:26:22 Do you plan to pick up this book and if so, how are you going to incorporate its material in your DL game, going on what you know of the book so far?
Me, I'd like to do a Ravenloft-type game set during the 3rd Dragon War (without using the Demiplane of Dread itself).

Where I think you might get some good use out of it (without seeing the book) would be with Nightlund. Dargaard Keep is a good horror locale, and the areas surrounding it in Nightlund would work out well.

Dargaard Keep would definitely be an intriguing focus for the proposed contents of Heroes of Horror. Additionally... I think the ruins of Istar would make a fascinating locale for new types of undead who have been converted for underwater environments.

Oct 08, 2005 10:32:34 I thought Nightlund was no longer a horror type area due to the death of
"Don't think this is a spoiler but just in case

Lord soth by Mina. I thought I had read somewhere that the sun now shines again on the area.

Oct 08, 2005 15:04:42 Pre-War of Souls Fifth Age Nightlund had the gloom that surrounded Dargaard Keep expand to encompass all of the region (even to Kalaman). Now, however, that gloom has receded to the immediate area around Dargaard Keep ... and hence you'd still expect a large number of undead in that locale. Dragonhelm and Old Sage did say the areas in and around Dargaard Keep and not all of Nightlund as being a good horror locale. ;)

As for will I use Heroes of Horror in Dragonlance? I'd have to check out the book first.

Oct 08, 2005 15:21:00 There's a fair amount of stuff I think you can probably steal from Heroes of Horror for your DL campaign. The archivist class, for example, would be ideal for playing priests of Gilean or Aesthetics. And you can always do with more things to scare your players.

Cheers,
Cam

LOL Cam. As soon as I saw that class I was thinking of ways it would fit in DL.
