Poking at Ravenloft, because that is what I do, and last night I had a sort of epiphany - I was thinking of the darklords in terms of skins from monsterhearts, which is a kind of badass way of revitalizing those creaky bastards (Strahd gets stronger when he denies the sexual advances of others? 10 times more interesting). Then I decided to fold in the Apocalypse World playbooks, too, and shit got real.
Dominic D'Honaire - Mentalist from Dementlieu, no one ever uses this guy, D&D never figured out how to deal with him. Make him a Brainer with Ben Wray's Chamber of Fun move, In-Brain Puppet Strings, a Violation Glove...
Vlad Drakov - Thinks he's a Hardholder, but really he's just a Chopper. Or is a Hardholder. Either way, it makes Falkovnia make more sense.
Dr. Mordenheim and Adam - Savvyhead and Faceless (or Ghoul from Monsterhearts).
Harkon Lucas - Maestro D.
Also, ApocWorld/Monsterhearts Sex Moves. Totally in.
