Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting
Hello, just read the pdf-Primer and seeing that Germany is now 'Ground Zero' for the second intrusion of the Red Death I thought that maybe you are interested in this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wewelsburg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(occult_symbol)
For Imhotep it was a pyramid, the Nazis had the Wewelsburg.
The Black Sun symbol found there is in my opion something that could depict the spread of the Red Death like a spiders web.
Also interesting might be the prophecy of a war between east and west found in the wiki-article and Himmler's secret safe whose contents vanished.
Living in Rietberg, a town quite near I will quickly contact the local cell of 'Die Wächter' (its spelled without an 'n' at the end) that the Red Death has returned in our own backyard.

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting
Well, Mengele was October 25th, Frankenstiein November 25th, so Ching Shih should be...December 25th. Oh wait, that passed already, didn't it? And we only announced the monthly subject on December 17th?HuManBing wrote:This is relevant to my interests.

Joel's been away for a while. Not sure if he got any entries. Let's say January 17th to give you a full month?

Okay, that's good. I can definitely throw something together for this, thanks!

Re: Gothic Earth lives again! Here's a new Ravenloft setting
It's about damn time! GREAT idea. Been waiting/wanting/working on stuff like this for years. I even started my brief d20 Modern campaign on this very Gothic Earth messageboard. My idea was to update all the old Grand Conjunction modules into d20 Modern adaptations. So it goes without saying I absolutely CHAMPION this project and think this is the key to keeping Ravenloft alive in the future. Thanks for bringing it to the light, Rucht!!!
