Nosferatu (3.5E & 4th Edition)

I know, I’ve disappeared again for a month or so. Sometimes these things happen. Anyway Happy Hallowe’en everyone. Of course it would be nice to have a new Vampire Bestiary pdf ready for Hallowe’en – but we all know I’m currently about as organised as a tramp’s closet so that hasn’t happened. Brief Updates: The […]
