Café de Nuit

I forgot how germans mastered the gothic spirit. I just watched Nosferatu: Phantom of The Night, and the opening credits' atmosphere is just the kind that I'm looking for.

I always draw from this amazing game's score . The Hollywood and Chinatown theme songs make for great overall background. Sometimes I put straight hours of Creepy Music 1, 2, 3, etc (those are the names in the list), which make the creepiest and most involving things I've heard my entire life. I not ...

Sociopathy is amazing research material for darklords, imo.

I don't think they can be true sociopaths, though, like the chick in the reddit story is (great link, btw). Darklordship demands the gothic feel, the redeeming aspect. I mean, take a look at Dexter. The tv series had to bland it out and ...

What the hell? I can't read this. Oh, there a creepy l...Gahhh! << me going "gahh" for the first time in my life. Never knew how it felt! lololol

I felt exactly the same thing. I think the soundtrack was paramount to my immersion. Music's always a big part for me. It can ruin a good movie or save a bad one.

Anyway, I think the storytelling was nice. The strength was not in the plot itself, but the dialog and coaching was awesome. The ...

I consider myself psychologically prepared to watch any scary movie or somewhat inured to most horror techniques (or maybe I never watched a quality flick capable of horrofying me after my infancy). But I gotta say, that movie made me scared when I finished watching and walked the house to grab a ...

Far darker (and dare I say “more mature”) than our hardest RAVENLOFT products.

That's a point where I forgot to add. If we're talking about an average game, I would call RL more mature because it deals with human psyche losing it's structure in a more clinical, psychiatric and twisted way ...

In my country, you're introduced to RPGs either by D&D or VtM. If D&D is the King, VtM is the Queen.

So I've played both.

Two of your stereotypes are somewhat accurate - they are LARPers and gothics - at least the hardcore ones (and I don't mean this in a derogatorying manner).

Vampire is cool if ...

It was around 1998.

I was the veteran GM and had a high fantasy campaign for some time, when one of the players decided he wanted to GM a campaign also. We started it in this high fantasy, greek-like world he made from scratch. This lasted for a few months, and our characters were chasing the major ...

The effect was somewhat spoiled by the fact that I dressed up as Anton Chigurh, complete with godawful hair. >_<

ROFLOL

Reminds me of He-Man and my childhood. lol

For me, the greatest problem with incorporating sex into a dice RPG is that you can never quite get the thought out of your mind ...

You know, I feel like stealing Red Jack's coins or calling Brum from under a tree... er, or the other way around, in my future campaign.

I like to think of fey as "the woods' evil spirits". I like that kind of murky definition, where elves, dwarves, goblins, elementals, beasts and even ghosts are ...

If you want to stay true to the setting's Gothic traditions, there must be a sense of decorum to everything. Even the most vile and repulsive subjects are to be described in an elevated and subtle manner.

I think I understand what you and BBQDaddy mean. Actually, what you said is exactly what I'm ...

About sexual content and players' possible traumas, I'm wanting to apply lately a more realistic feel on the subject. I don't intend to make it one of the focal points - I would if it brought interesting plot hooks, but that's not what I'm talking about - what I'm saying is people tend to deal ...

Mistyping my name is no big deal. It happens. Especially since it's a rather new name (it's supposed to be Japanese, but kanji doesn't have an equivalent of the "L" phonetic and it's often replaced with the "R" phonetic).

I guess you and Rotipher are right. Thinking back I did play with some very ...

So, here's what all this taught me--
* If you're a player and you run into something that really , truly bothers you, chances are your DM may not realize it. DMs are clever, but not mind-readers. My DM turned out to be an amazing guy for handling this, but it would have never happened if I hadn't ...
