Being a mainly Hin player...... well one character and its a halfling so, only hin player?

I believe this needs some bumping. I know that we are some players that have been looking into this and rping the thoughts behind it as well. I agree this will not result in a player faction base. But it would be nice to have an area in which we can show the Halfling children of the mist that not all is dark.

I still support this idea, and will still be rping towards it.

Much love and hugsies

There is a decent two layer hill in the Eastern Farmlands just sitting there. Could make a nice hobbit-hole there. A halfling/gnome inn could be interesting. Or maybe a Starbucks type of bakery? Halflings do like pastries.

I'm all for a place for hin/halflings but I still believe it should be part of a city or village as they rarely have a village of their own but mingle with other folks, like flashing out the "hin ghetto" in Port-a-lucine.

I would really like to see a home for the Halflings. Find the right setting and it would be a real positive for all.

Just some more thoughts on this:  how does a cosy halfling inn and bakery fit into a ‘gothic horror setting’? First of all, I believe the Ravenloft setting to be varied and flexible enough to allow for such, and secondly, and more importantly, for the element of horror to really work you need to make your audience care enough about whoever it is happening to. The horror of Mordor in LOTR is all the more potent because at the back of the heroes there is Shire, which the Darkness is poised to swallow up. Everywhere in Ravenloft there is Darkness to fight, but it’s less effective unless there are actually believable pieces of light which it may threaten.

And yeah, from storytelling perspective also, humour and a lighter side of things is an essential tool weaving a more compelling tale whatever darker elements may eventually come to make up the bigger part of it.

Expanding Port-a-Lucine is always a good thing. It should be much larger than portrayed in game. If there is enough of a reason to add a Halfling centric area, why not expand the Halfling ghetto there?

I personaly think the halfling ghetto in port is the best option. I might give it a try after my current projects. Not promising anything however. I'm not yet feeling much inspiration.

Somewhat late but we added a halfling inn to the halfling ghetto in Dementlieu.
