Re: More historical and literature characters

Anyone ever stat Aleister Crowley? Sure, he would've only been 14-15 in 1890, but I'm going to fudge on that a bit and put him somewhere in his early 20's. I'm considering him as a 7th level Adept, Lawful Evil. I'm still on 2nd Edition for my Gothic Earth campaign, so I'm giving him nw proficiencies...

Re: Increasing power of magic in Gothic Earth

While one of my PCs plays a spell caster (a stage magician who has begun to dabble in the dark arts), I've made sure to limit the spells he receives, while making sure he is given the proper powers checks for spells used. Increasing the power of the spells for your PC could be tricky; but if I were ...

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

I liked the figures quite a bit, but I don't think I'll be ordering right now. May see what I can locate stateside first. As far as adapting traditional RL for Gothic Earth, today I started working up the adventure "The Scarlett Kiss" from Chilling Tales. That's the one which had Van Richt...

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

Thanks, Band2. That sounds really cool. I hadn't considered "The Awakening" as a GE conversion, but would be willing to try it. I know I have the module, but haven't pulled back the cover in 20 years. (I know we played it at some point, but I have little recollection. I think I may have pl...

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

Thanks, Jekyll!!! I don't own any non-fantasy era minis, and was just looking online for some Victorian-based ones (with no luck!).

I'll check it out! Thanks again!

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

Yeah, Red Death never really caught on with a wide audience--which was a shame, because it's such a cool concept. There was a lot of stellar MotRD material published in the old Kargatane netbooks from the late 90s; and if you can locate them, there were a couple of really good articles in Dragon, as...

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

It's been a long time since I've taken a gander at those CotN adventures, but that sounds like a great idea to start. I remember loving Castles Forlorn back in the day, and thought that would make for a good time in Scotland for my PCs. I'm thinking I'd have to do something about those rabid goblyns...

Re: Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Ea

Cool beans! I had also considered "Touch of Death" (for some point down the road, though--my PCs are currently enjoying a trek through Boston and the surrounding New England). The idea I used to gather my group was that they had all been "touched" by the Red Death in one form or ...

Adapting Traditional Ravenloft (and others) to Gothic Earth!

Hello, all! I've recently returned to the Cafe after a bit of an absence, so I hope you've all been well. After an even lengthier absence from Ravenloft, I have recently found myself running a campaign set in the 1890s of Gothic Earth, and would like to request some input from my fellow travelers......
