This game will have the largest castle in an Igavania. 1600 is fewer that both castles of SOTN combined or conversely, 800 is smaller than either caste in SOTN individually. That means for the statement "IGA's largest castle" to remain true, 1600 rooms has to be the size of one castle. If there is a second castle, demon realm, whatever, it will be in addition to the 1600 room number given. However the smartest thing to assume that there is only one castle with 1600 rooms (which should be PLENTY especially since I expect there to be more diversity in the castle interior compared to past IGAvanias) as 1600+ rooms sounds like an insane amount of work. I think he said "at least" 1600 rooms, so perhaps the actual number will be closer to 1800 or even 2000 if we're lucky. How many rooms did SoTN have total?

Ok! So regarding Vampires and water. From: Running Water: Many tales state that vampires are exceptionally vulnerable to running water. For most vampires this is at least partially true. A vampire that is totally immersed in rapidly flowing water should be involuntarily reduced to gaseous form in a matter of minutes. There are several vital considerations to keep in mind, however. First, the water in question must be rapidly flowing; oceans, creeks, slow streams, and the like will not suffice. Second, the word "immersed" has a specific meaning in this context: fully three-quarters of the vampire's body must be below the surface of the water, and this portion must include the entire chest, from the creature's waist to its neck. (In essence, the monster's hear must be immersed.) Vampires are as capable of floating or treading water as any humanoid creature. Thus, merely throwing a vampire into a river and waiting for it to expire will probably not work. The vampire must be so held that its entire chest is completely immersed for at least one minute in order to inflict any damage whatsoever upon the creature. As is so often the case with vampires, this is much easier said than done. The creature is hideously strong and the panic engendered by even partial immersion seems to give the creature additional reserves of strength. Often the attacker becomes the attacked. The monster can also use its many spell-like powers to destroy those who would try to hold it under. Luckily, as soon as the creature is even partially immersed in running water, it is incapable of voluntarily assuming gaseous form. It can, however, shapechange into a another form. If the attempt is successful, the results are quite extreme. Should the creature be kept suitable submerged for only three minutes, it is forced into gaseous form - which bubbles to the surface - and must flee to its sanctuary. DM Section:Immersion in Water If a vampire is even partially immersed in running water, it temporarily gains the STR associated with the next highest age catagory. Thus a Fledgling vampire dumped into a river will temporarily enjoy a Str of 18/91, rather than its normal 18/76. This temporary Str bonus vanishes as soon as the creature is out of the water. In addition, if the monster's arms aren't somehow constrained, it gets a +4 bonus on all attacks against any characters physically trying to hold it underwater. (This bouns represents both proximity and the fact that its foes are concentrating on holding it under.) At the end of each complete round that the vampire has been immersed, it looses one-third of its maximum hit-point score. As soon as it is driven to zero or fewer hit points, it assumes gaseous form. Example: A vampire has a maximum hit-point total of 60 hit points. In combat with a group of adventurers, the creature suffers 25 points of damage from an enchanted sword, giving it a current score of 35 hit points. To ass insult to injury, it is then unceremoniously dumped into a fast-flowing river, with six burly warriors holding it down. At the end of the first round, the creature loses 20 hit points - one-third of its normal total of 60 - which drops it to a current total of 15 hit points. At the end of the second round, it loses another 20 points, dropping it to -5. With a strangled curse, the creature reverts to gaseous form. If a vampire is immersed in a large quantity of holy water, the creature loses on-half of its total hit points per melee round so immersed. All rules relating to immersion in running water - Str bonus, attack bonus, etc. - also apply. Even if the monster is not totally immersed, it still suffers 2d6+2 points of damage on every round that it is even partially immersed. And just for clarification of the above, this is verbatim from AD&D or D&D 2nd Edition. In 2nd Ed. strength scores max out at 18 after which a percentile score is added too it. It has been too long for me to remember how that works and I don't feel like re-reading the players guide to figure it out again. Also, a round, which is a unit of time during combat, is approximately one minute. That may sound like a lot of time but remember everyone involved gets a "round" to perform actions in and so all the actions of you and the other characters are all occurring in the same "round" each round. Not sure how many of you will find that interesting, but I found the book to be an extraordinary read and really fleshed out a lot of the lore that I knew of vampires as well as presenting some newer ideas. If you ever get the chance, all of the Van Richten's guides are written in this manner and are equally informative. Oh man, Ravenloft was a cool setting

Aw man, what a day. The bad: Had some tummy troubles. The good: Got a good deal of work done on my fanfic and managed to play a good bit of Toukiden: Kiwami, too! Now, tomorrow...I'll have to make some calls to see if the Library of Congress can send me some materials I need for my dissertation, and then go to the library to pick up some books I need for it, and then write more fanfiction. ;;

"What new setting? It still takes place in relatively the same timeframe as SOTN, which is around the 1700s. Yes, there won't be Dracula, but that doesn't exclude vampires from the mix."
True, but I think they may want to avoid vampires as much as possible, if only to avoid trouble from Konami. v-v

Congratulations, this is great news! I can't help but feel a little ambivalent about it, though...Xombiemike, Metanfiel, and SML did a lot of hard work. I hope they let you guys maintain some kind of position here even after the forums are made official. You're the ones who set it up, after all

Welcome to the forums, chrisloven! While I'm not Mr. Judd, one thing to remember is that IGA isn't going this entirely alone--he's working with a lot of established talent, ranging from his old colleagues to Init Creates. So that might influence any risk assessment
