Well Melinda, I have started to pick up on the
Kargatane's tracks, the site is only in the Early
stages, and I have been looking to find contributers,
and am currently working on a netbook for the campaign
setting Domain on my site http://www.ravenloft.co.uk

Comments anyone?

Hmm, I wonder if we were to ask for volunteers, if
there would be
anyone to pick up the Kargatane's tracks? What do you
think? Would
Wizards of the Coast, or more likely, Sword & Sorcery,
be prepared to
sponser a website if we had a team of willing workers?
We could
update the current netbooks to v3.0/3.5, and have some
special
adventures and prestige classes. The community of
Ravenloft gamers
may slowly disperse if we have nowhere to congregate.
I've noticed
that for such a big group, The Ravenloft Domain is
surprisingly
quiet. I used to be an avid player of Rookhausen, the
online chat
game, which had many people, but a lot of the players
seem to be
bored now.
On a brighter note, I've picked up some new members
for my Ravenloft
PBeM: Avengement. Most of the group seems to be
lurkers, but there's
some keen players as well. There is a wide range of
PCs, comprising
humans, elves, and dwarves, and some of the well-known
NPCs of the
Ravenloft setting, such as Count Strahd Von Zarovich,
and Bray
Martikova.
I have been using a lot of 'textbook' Ravenloft (to
save time and
work), but also adding in some personal touches, such
as mysterious
merchants and unresolved curses. Rather than having it
as a
traditional PBeM, where everyone travels in a big
group, I wanted to
give it a more 'real world' feel. Players are
encouraged to travel in
small groups of 2-4, and many different scenarios are
happening all
at once. I post to one group one day, to another group
the next. This
way, there is always something happening, but also
gives the players
a few days to post. It also keeps my workload
manageable.

If you have any tips for running a PBeM (Play By
eMail) game more
smoothly, please reply to this message. If you would
like to check
out the game, there is a link in my profile to the
group. I would
like to keep a bit of a journal on here, to let
everyone know how the
campaign is progressing, and to keep some interest in
Ravenloft
alive. Thanks for letting me be part of your group :)
Until next time,
Melinda
