Sorry for the double-post, but they released an image for the upcoming Season 3 of the Castlevania Netflix series. The second season ended rather neatly. I'm interested to see what they do with the Dracula's Curse and Curse of Darkness characters and the new characters of course.

I somehow felt it was familiar.... I only watched that special once, and that was forever ago. Thanks for the link!

I should add some family names:
  • Crenshaw (Monster Squad)
  • Brooks (Blade)
  • Spellman (Archie)
  • Blake (Anita Blake)
  • Neville (I Am Legend)
  • Halliwell (Charmed)
Should be more than enough to get some 'power sets' that work in a cooperative tabletop environment.

A Brooks (Blade) bloodline is a great idea! The vampire nightclub scene is amazing. Thanks again Frank. :cool:

I'm a massive Castlevania nerd, who was unhappy with the way the Netflix Series portrayed Hector in season 2. This has left me a bit nervous to see how they handle season 3.

I freely admit this is a nerdy nitpick and probably at least half of the people watching the show didn't know who Hector even was.

I can't say I'm super keen on any of the post N64 3D Castlevania games (a strange distinction, but I can explain further if need be), but if you were going to rank them Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness are one and two on my list.

I hope we get more undead (the number of skeleton enemies in the CV series is staggering) and less demons. And please more subweapons besides knives. And how about throwing Grant a bone? (Poor SOB!)

I think people are overly harsh on most of the 3D entries in the series and they aren't as bad as people claim. Except Lords of Shadow. Fuck that game. :mad:

Agreed on all counts. All hail Grant the pirate king! :)

Not even Lords of Shadow? Pity! I preferred that continuity lots better than Lament of Innocence's one (I mean, if you're retconing Sonya out of the canon, might as well to a full re-imagining of the setting while you're at it).

But it was so... generic and cinematic. That game oozed competent unoriginality. Took like 90% of the game to get to the cool shit.

What can I say? I liked the gameplay, I loved them borrowing pages from Pan's Labyrinth, and I'm a sucker for ear candy (Oscar Araujo's music was superb, plus Sir Patrick Stewart). Also I loved the plot twist that Gabriel ended up becoming Dracula (I wouldn't have done that DLC, however, I prefer leaving the "how" a mystery. In my headcanon, Gabriel is a Ravenloft Dreadlord and became a vampire just because his dead wife told him to live).

Dark Souls, Bloodborne are usually cited as "good 3D castlevania"

The pacing is quite similar to pre-Symphony of the Night, you have limited but reliable mobility and some finite tools to use against enemies that come in a certain pattern or have certain attack patterns

Monster Hunter really did 3D combat with 'aftermath' right and all followed suit

I'd rather not have my endgame battle butt-poking Dracula until he falls dead, though.

Also, if they define "good" as "the poorest principles of old game design applied maliciously to create artificial difficulty via cheapshots" then I'd rather stick with bad.

A Table Top RPG is not going to get the gameplay of a Castlevania game or a Metroidvania game. You are going to play a table top board game with the story aesthetics of a Castlevania game.

The goal of the character types is not to have the gameplay of Simon Belmont, but to have the aesthetics of Simon Belmont. You aren't going to be pressing the A button really fast, you're going to describe your character wearing short shorts, an open vest, and carrying a whip. But not in a sexual way. Probably.

I think there is some carry over between tabletop turns and even real time video game action.
I like to categorize decisions in any given kind of game as

Planning: Doing stuff before your action is taken
Execution: Actual implementation of action
Reaction/Aftermath: Immediate results of action

Video games can do a lot with execution, in tabletop it's usually just restricted to picking an action and rolling a die, but the planning and reaction phases can carry over.

In Castlevania, you observe enemies and room arrangements to execute the 'perfect' maneuver to kill the baddies and not get hit. Castlevania's jump is far reaching but has a pretty long recovery compared to Mario, so Castlevania usually kills you by "oh no I jumped wrong and saw how my landing path lead to taking damage and dying/flinching down a hole"

I get a similar feeling from playing chess, my knight gets eaten because I've been maneuvered into a dilemma I can't escape, much like making a jump and then seeing that skeleton's flail coming to knock me into a watery death.

So I think the 'feel' of real time Castlevania can be carried over in a tabletop game where enemy 'tells' can be learned, this can be a passive effect like D&D's "dodge giant technique", or a choice effect like "DM tells the dragon hunter player the giant dragon skull tower will breath fire next turn, they can run for cover this turn"

The X-Wing tabletop game is close to the 'feeling of Castlevania' to me, as you have maneuver/momentum/movement arcs, attack arcs to 'trap' opponents for a hit while avoiding hits. I'm picturing a sidescroller version of this for a Castlevania feeling tabletop game

That kind of gameplay can set up the very Castlevania experience of a "F$)*ING!!" predictable movement medusa head bopping you into a hole

I wholeheartedly agree about the planning and reaction parts of CV games. A lot of old video games have tremendous amounts of knockback and stunning of the character when you get hit, with many instant death pits to make you replay the screen or even the whole level. They actually have equipable items in the later games to give the player an air-recovery option to avoid the dreaded "medusa headbutts you into spikes of extreme pain" scenario. :argh:

I was trying to figure out a way to have nasty boss moves that force the players to figure out their patterns or get wiped out. The idea I have thus far is sort of like a monster lore check, but with options cover the wide array of different skills a character might have. Nobody wants a TPK on the stupid giant bat boss from CV 1. XD

@Dogbert The main reason I don't like the LoS series is because there stories either don't factor into or directly contradict the established CV lore. The N64 games were made non-canon before the LoS series, but I feel like the designs and aesthetics (notwithstanding the music) were closer to their 2D counterparts. But don't let me rain on your parade if you liked Lords of Shadow 1&2.

To add to the discussion, here are some time periods you can set your CV campaign in!

1094-1476 AD: 382-year period between Mathias Cronqvist turning evil and becoming Dracula Vlad ?epe?. Perfect if you want to do a "stop Hitler before he rises to power" storyline.

1479-1576 AD: 97-year interim between Dracula revivals. Note that because the Dracula wraith in 1479 was slain by a devil forgemaster, it makes sense that Drac would not stay down as long as if he had been destroyed with a holy weapon (or better yet, a holy weapon of destiny). So plenty of opportunities for the Followers of Darkness to restore their master early and the heroes to cowboy up and stop them.

1797-1897 AD: This lull in Dracula's power is an interesting one. The Belmonts give the Vampire Killer to the Morris family because of an important prophecy. So if you don't want to be Bob Belmont, you can be a Morris or Lecarde (see below), and expand either of those noble clans' prestige in your new canon! Note that Order of Ecclesia occurs at SOME point after the turn of the century, so you can plunk that down wherever you like. You can even help out the only canon female protagonist of the series and make her story less sad.

1897 AD: You may be wondering what the significance of this particular date is? Bram Stoker's novel Dracula was published 1897, and the series incorporates the events of the book into the timeline, with Quincey Morris being the ancestor of later important characters in the CV series. If you want to have a fun romp reliving the events of the book with a dash of boomerang crosses, then have at it!

1999 AD: Hey everyone! Remember when Dracula caused World War III and was beaten by a badass 19-year old with a leopard print leather coat and some Japanese priests who sealed his castle inside the shadow cast by a solar eclipse, severing his connection to the realm of chaos and splitting his soul into pieces? No? Well now you can play out this crazy scenario with gothic monsters fighting modern military personnel and the amazing time constraint of beating Drac before the solar eclipse is over.

2038+ AD: No more canon games from here on out (Damn you Konami!). So you are free to do whatever you want. Cyberpunk CV, Star Trek CV, Stalker CV, Fallout CV, WOD CV, Rifts CV? The sky's the limit![/b]

Since Dracula's Castle exists outside of time and uses future technology even in the past, I think the time periods you want to use have basically nothing to do with what the bad guys are doing and everything to do with what you want the protagonists to be doing.

That is, if you want the protagonists to have modern tech and iPhones and shit, then you want 'present day, present time' and if you want the player characters to be unironically using non-magical swords as a primary weapon you want to set things any time before 1836. If you want the players to have recognizably modern weapons, but not have access to cell phones or GPS navigation, you want to set things in the 1970s (or possibly early 80s).

The forces of Darkness are going to have electric light and giant gears no matter when you nominally set the adventure. The question is entirely about what kinds of clothing and equipment the monster hunters are supposed to have.

Monster Lore works for the out-of-combat research and spying phase.

For 'in game'...
It can be a risk-reward thing. If everyone uses their turn to back off and peep from behind pillars, they have a high chance of avoiding what's going to happen, but that vampire is now free to kidnap the buxom ladies, fly away with the precious artifact, and so on.

Maybe some kind of blackjack rule can be worked in where one card is revealed for the setup of the move ("Ah the chtuhlu only has a 4... I attack!") I'm just throwing out whatever comes to mind and wouldn't stuff everything into one game, but maybe one idea can be a cornerstone
