Café de Nuit

Knowing fear at the idea of Rey Mysterio, crusader against darkness... :) Seriously, though, I can see NPCs based on old Santo movies and stuff. Bring in some Aztec-tinged stuff and all 'tis good. But I don't know if I see it in Darkon. For some reason Hazlan seems a better fit... or Nova Vaasa? Or ...

Wha... huh? How can you have a vampire who doesn't turn into a bat? Or doesn't level drain? How can you have a lich with no chill touch? I actually kinda like the no phylactery thing for vassaliches or undead lieutenants or something. I could see a lich making that rule of its underlings... but why ...

ENTER Dr. Bloodworth's Chamber of Horrors! MARVEL at a drunken sideshow freak! WONDER why he appears so sober!

Apropos of nothing: Rob Zombie's song "The Ballad of Resurrection Joe and Rosa Whore" is about this movie. It specifically mentions the Seven Dials, Resurrection Joe, Rosa, Rachel, Ned the Crow, "don't separate the pain from the knife", etc. Also, while I haven't seen it, I would...

The Seven Gates of Hell Urban Legend Version: A popular urban tale around these parts, and one I've researched quite a bit, is of the Seven Gates of Hell (chronicled in both Weird U.S. and Weird Pennsylvania , BTW), a trail through the forests along the northern banks of the Codorus Creek (the same...

Whilst I am a latecomer to this thread, there are a few around these parts that are worthy of translation into Gothic Earth. Rehmeyer's Hollow A fairly large plot of farmland in southern York County (Pa.). Nestled among densely wooded hills and on the banks of a burbling creek, there rises a house. ...

The Cave at Tsavo Along the banks of the Tsavo River in British East Africa is a small cavern system. For years, the cave had been used as a lair by man-eating lions. By the time Col. J.H. Patterson discovered the cave in 1898 while on the trail of two particularly vicious lions, the cave was strew...

One of the keys to new Mage is letting go of Ascension, by which I mean the whole Traditions vs. Technocracy thing. All the groups have been replaced by five paths of magic, kinda like how Vampire has only five clans. Like Vampire, each is a sort of archetype. Acanthus: enchanters Mastigos: warlocks...

It is. The guy pulled the plug on the Septentrionalis site, expanded the info, and wrote these books. Same deal that happened with Nyambe.

Yes! I think Masque could certainly work in the post-Victorian era. Tell me the atomic age wasn't another of the Six Fingered Hand's plots...

(Mods, can you close this? I thought to open a new thread only to find one already was made as I was writing this!)

A historical figure from my neck of the woods: Nelson Rehmeyer Dread Scarecrow/Rushlight (Mystic 11) In 1928, three Pennsylvania men named John Blymire, Wilbert Hess and John Curry murdered an aged man named Nelson Rehmeyer, who lived in the vicinity of York, Pa. The three suspected that Rehmeyer wa...

The three suspected that Rehmeyer was a Hexenmeister , or curse-layer. All three w...

There was an article in an old Dragon (can't recall the number; mid-200s, anyway) that had ideas about GE in the eras of the TSR historical books (Vikings, Celts, Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, Elizabethan Europe, Crusades, Charlemagne).

Nifty. 'f course, if you were doing Cthulhu, it'd HAVE to be connected with Hastur. I mean, it IS yellow after all...
