American Gothic

Post by Ail »

Hi,

yesterday, this series began being broadcasted in cable-TV here in Portugal. I don't know anything about it, but I guess it must have already aired there in the States and perhaps Europe.
I'd like to know what you think of it. Is it worth watching? Does it do good RL material?

Thanks.

It's worth watching, if a little dated by now. But it doesn't really apply to Ravenloft too much. Though a resourceful DM may get something out of it.

If you play MOTRD its a goldmine of ideas. The only bad thing is that the series was canceled after 13 or so episodes.

That was a great show.. Of course anything like that is immediately killed off because it lacks the mindlessness of reality TV or Dr. Idiot Phil.. Thank god for DVD's otherwise I wouldnt even turn the TV on :twisted: .

The DVD set that came out a couple months ago includes unaired episodes.
Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, Brain, but didn't we give up ritual murder for Lent?

Thanks. Actually, they say they are going to pass 22 episodes. And they do it to the end, I know from experience.

Thank you all.
