It's so hard to be ominous and scary when your players have darkvision. Can't reveal anything in the dramatic way I want to cuz they just have a cheat sheet. BOOOORRINNGGGG

1) things can still sneak around them in pitch darkness - dark vision still has a -5 penalty to passive perception in no light. Use this to your advantage. 2) you cannot see colors in complete dark. Design a puzzle around color matching, make them cast dancing lights and attract whatever’s lurking in the shadows 3) have larger battle maps and remove creatures beyond their DV range

4) if things are SUPER dire, use magical darkness. It doesn’t have to come from a spell, it can just be a property of the dungeon

Use a gorgon in the dark so that the party is suddenly relying on the people who don’t have darkvision
