Horror 1931 is coming! Give me some requests! (Patreon)
Content
Hey all,
The poll for the next Kickstarted ended up with 1931 as the chosen period. 1931 was a pretty cool time for horror. Universal Monsters just kicked off that year with Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and Frankenstein (followed closely by The Mummy and whole bunch more the following year).
It's also a period when H.P. Lovecraft wrote some of his most famous works, such as At the Mountains of Madness (shoggoths!) and The Shadow Over Innsmouth (deep ones!).
Historically, both the depression and the dust bowl were in full swing. The Empire State Building opened in New York City, New York. Prohibition was still two years away from being repealed. Al Capone went to prison for 11 years on tax evasion charges. Japan invaded China.
Since this is a Mörk Borg-compatible game, I've already basically written, like... 70% of it. At this point, I'm just putting in random tables and other details.
While I'm doing this, I thought I'd poll y'all to see what kind of content you want in this. It can be anything: rules, hacks, new monsters, traits, whatever.
There are already six classes (Sleuth, Gangster, Femme/Homme Fatale, Socialite, Mad Scientist, and Adventurer), but who knows? Maybe I'll add a couple more.
Let me know what you wanna see in the comments below.
