Greetings!

I'd like to invite any fraternity brothers or sisters who enjoy the horror milieu to try out this new d20 horror campaign set in Edwardian earth 1905-1914. The press release below tells about some of the particulars. If any of you would like to give it a try, I'd be happy to send a complimentary copy of one of the modules to you to run at a home game. Just email me at davidnadolny@yahoo.com.

/cheers!

Thenodrin Presents LLC is excited to announce that our new d20 rpg horror campaign, Fellowship of the White Star, which premiered at Origins 2007 with over 75 people playing at 15 tables.

The game uses d20 rpg rules and is set in semi-historic Edwardian earth 1905-1914 with a horror atmosphere that is hidden from the view of the common people. It is heavy on the investigative role playing side. In our version of earth, magic still exists in a limited form and the players create heroes to investigate suspicious events and battle evil supernatural beings. We envision western cowboy heroes battling zombies in mines, archeologist heroes investigating tombs in Egypt, British soldier heroes weeding out voodoo cults in Jamaica, Arctic explorer and Eskimo guide heroes seeking the Yeti, City detective heroes investigating strange crimes, etc... It is an ongoing campaign that we plan to have run until 1914 (each real year, we will roll the clock forward and have modules set in that year and base part of them off historic events) and certain missions can change "real" world history events. This campaign will allow the players to continue to build up their character within our campaign.

Our game has an exciting set of unique skills, feats, classes, and gun rules and is certain to please anyone who finds adventuring in the early 20th century intriguing. The 350 page book (also available in PDF format) includes 40 unique artworks from artists we have recruited. If you don't have a character, no problem, we have 8 diverse pre-gen characters available (downloadable from the yahoo fansite).

Authors that have agreed to provide modules over the next ten years include, but are not limited to:
Robert Bennett, Dan Donnelly, Paul Dorothy, JD Hannah, Victor Long, Jennifer Middleton, Mark Middleton, David Nadolny, Ton Nolan, and Steve Yee.

It will also be playing at various local game days and other cons (check your local gaming club for details and if they don’t have it scheduled yet, just have them send me an email for details and we will work with them to bring it too your local club or hobby store).

Thenodrin Presents LLC was formed by gamers who lament the lack of an ongoing campaign set in this time period. We are making a promise to the gaming community that our primary focus is, and will continue to be, the development of a fun and enjoyable campaign. This game will be developed by the players and for the players. If you enjoy our game, please support the campaign so it can continue!

PS: You can see a brief review of our game in Knights of the Dinner Table #131 under Brians Picks. Brian’s Rating: Horror in history done right. We agree!
