I am not to sure where to place this so I am putting it here. I would like to come up with a castlevania format to use in the palladium settings.
I would like to start by building the castle. It is a creature of chaos that appears once every one hundred years when "Dracula" rises.
There are some must for castlevaina, they are as follows.
1.) the castle
2.) death/ the grim reaper
3.) Lord/Count Dracula
4.) mythical creatures must be bound to the castle and it's lord (Dracula)
5.) it must be shrouded in darkness during the day (no need to block light during the night).
I figure Dracula in palladium standards should not e a vampire of any kind! He is either a godling or vald-tegor himself (ie a splintered essence).

I have been reading through the 50+ books I have but I can't find a good starting point to create the castle. Anyone have any ideas on how to make the castle? It has to be able to change shape and lay out and be able to "summon" mythical monsters. I was think magical curse by I have no precedents from which to start.

Could you not make it a Rune Building? That way it has a personality and alignment etc? \the you give it morphing abilities and summoning spells.

It is an interesting thought though... I will look into this and seeing if wards will work as well. Thanks for the idea Jaymz. |

Both runes and wards can be used. Te runes would have to be limited to curtain parts of the castle and those items could be linked via wards and other magics to allow the castle summon and control legendary monsters. So given that research it leaves that the castle would have to have some repeating elements things that may change some what but is always present in all it's incarnations.
Given my knowledge I have compiled a list of te few things that repeat with inside the castle itself.
Clock tower.
Some sort of laboratory. The lab has changed through out the games but there is always in present.
Throne room, which is always the hugest point of te castle.
Catacombs.
Some sort of entry house, rather it r a stables or a villa that lay at te foot of the castle there is always something.

The Castle itself? It's own Dimension, As explained in Symphony of night.
Use the Domain Rules for the SPATIAL MAGE in Rifter 5 or those in Between the Shadows.

I think that is a matter of translation. Most of the other Castlevanias refer to it as a living castle.

I just said that in fact I made it clear in my first post, by saying "a creature of chaos" one had just said it is alive. Honestly if you aren't going to add anything leve the thread. I am also not playing your last word game. So either contribute or I will ask that your post be removed from the thread. |

you Removed the wrong posts. Rifter 49 and 5 would let her create what she wants. Its' not my fault She/he is incapable of reading and translating, And Creature of chaos means something entirely Diffirent in Japanese audience vs that in RIFTS parlance. ... Devil Gundam Gundam Zero, etc are all Creatures of Chaos in the japanese sense. in the Rifts Sense, Neither are, as Creature of chaos actually means it's linked to the Armageddon Demons.

Pretty sure HE said no Rifter 5 and that Dracula would not be a Vampire. If you can't read the post and comment with something useful then don't comment.
Where the hell do you get that Wing Zero is a creature of chaos? Dude seriously where do you get this shit.

Please do not tell me how to do what I am doing. I removed the posts that were requested. Move on. Also Ninja bunny is a HE not a SHE.
Furthermore what it means to a Japanese audience is frankly, fucking irrelevant to the this discussion. Continue and a warning will be issued. Play language and cultural debates elsewhere as they are not pertinent to the discussion at hand.

Ok, I have also come to the idea of alchemy being use in its creation! Given all three the castle can be a living creature bond to its master DRACULA! The areas covered with runes as mentioned above and other buildings with wards on every stone/break would allow the castle to change itself when it reappears or is summoned forth (if someone bring Dracula back before the hundred year time). Given a central identity by alchemy the castle is given life! Summoning circles placed through out the castle would bring forth monsters and a few bound legendary creatures.
I will start working on a random addition table so building the castle can be a little easier for others and random so the gm could if he wanted have the players deal with it again I. Future battles.

Ok because I operate off an iPhone I will do my random chart in several posts.
Outside of the main castle:
Graveyard
Abandoned church/ Abby
Villa (abandoned for best effects)
Forest (shrouded in darkness)
Small village
Stables.
Roll on this chart to determine what will be found outside of the main castle.
