Very fascinating stuff on this thread, Manofevil!!!

What about Kwai Chang Caine (Kung Fu) or his son? I always felt that one or the other or BOTH belonged in Gothis Earth. Hey thanks for the feedback Manofevil! Totally agreed about the Kung Fu characters! If you know of any good 5e Modern resources, I'd love to start some more contemporary character...

I owe the 5e statblock adaptions of these two classic Victorian characters to the Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters and the Masque of the Red Death Player's Guide. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/316960/Mythological-Figures--Maleficent-Monsters https://www.dmsguild.com/product/2953...

I love these maps! Great job!!!

Just Wow! Carmilla ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmilla ) is such an interesting study! Not only did Sheridan Le Fanu's vampire tale predate Dracula by 26 years, but he was another Irish writer! I'm definitely interested in reading up on this guy some more, as he was apparently well known for hi...

Arabella March is another great villain for the Masque of the Red Death setting! An evil monster worshipping cultist with a cold reptilian vibe! The White Worm is pretty cool too! The Lair of the White Worm: Bram Stoker's far less popular tale got a lot of bad reviews apparently. I personally haven'...

Happy Easter all!

After posting the Wolfman I realized that all the statblocks I've been making were male, so I began researching female Victorian gothic horror villains, and it turns out there are some REALLY GOOD ones! https://www.spookyisles.com/10-great-women-from-gothic-horror/ My favorite being White Fell, a le...

Now I understand that Larry Talbot (from the original 1941 movie) wasn't even born yet in the 1890s...but he could be, for anybody who wants to spin tales of monster mashups like the ones in the Abbot and Costello movies, the Penny Dreadful TV series, and the Monster Squad. I know I do! Theoreticall...
