Café de Nuit

Does anyone know if someone has already written up stuff from War of the Worlds for MotRD? If not then I will have to take a bash at it

By all means, bash

But there was a 2nd edition War of the Worlds in one of the BoS

I was thinking someone had done it before, but couldn't remember which edition it was for, do you rememebr which BoS it was in? I will look at that article and then draw up my own, I have some cool ideas for the Martian War Machines

It is made even better now I have the book, lol.

Also thinking of writing up Dorian Gray and some other characters, possibly Graf Orlock and Varney the Vampire sometime in the future.

Aah, Orlock. Cool. Despite the movie title, he doesn't seem to be a Nosferatu. Possibly a Vrykolakas. Don't know too much about Varney outside of the name.

In the future, I'd like to do La Bete Anthropophage du Gevaudan. I don't think you need to know French to figure out who that is. I'd also like to possibly write up the Fear Liath Mor (The Great Grey Man of Ben McDhui). And I have ideas for a Spanish nobleman who's a manticore. And for my namesake Orang Santu, and a new type of vampire called the Kudlak, concerned with famine and locusts and all sorts of good things.

And "Mars Attacks Gothic Earth" was in Book of Sorrows. I love the Voudoun article in the same book.

Gooooolaaaaaah! Gooooooolaaah!

Martian tripods, remember they are highly effective killing artillary but a steamer could take one out. Farewell Thunderchild.

Re,e,ber that Nosferatu came out in 1922, a long, long time ago. Still one of my favourite movies though

Thanks, I'll download that book again and have a look

Gooooolaaaaaah! Gooooooolaaah!

I love the War of the Worlds musical, but it has been a very long time since I las tread the book, not even sure I still have it... must find another copy of it

Moving swiftly through the waters
Cannons blazing as she came
Brought a mighty metal War-Lord
Crashing down in sheets of flame

A little verse from the song Thunder Child

I remember that Article, very good it is.....

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves Jeff Wayne's Musical War of The Worlds ....

I've got it both on LP and CD and my Hard Drive

I have 2 copies of the LP, both first printings and one of them remains factory sealed. I used to have it on tape, but it got worn out, so when I want to listen to it, I borrow the cd from my sister

Let's all say it together...

Uuuuuuuuuuuullaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

I prefer Gooolah, but hey no need to fight when we can live in my underground city. Get the shovels.

Nothing but champagne and caviar while I'm on duty.

You horrible, fish-baby-eating monster!
I hope you get reincarnated as a sturgeon.

I see myself as more of a superviser, so you do the digging and I'll tell you where to dig

No champagne of caviar for me, can't stand the stuff, just make sure there is lots of curry

You can be the boss, I get to be the lazy worker asleep behind the woodpile on a regular basis

Lol, we'll leave you for the Martians to eat then

Did you read the "League of Extraordinary Gentelmen Vol.2"-comic? ?
Especially Issue 1. There Mars seems to be quite inhabitated: Huge, green giants with 4 arms, worshipping Ares; red skinned Humans (with beautieful, almost unclad princesses ), huge, gaunt "greys" and last but not least the slug-aliens from war of the worlds who are driven from Mars by the other 3 races. So you could start a whole "Gothic Mars"-Campaign

I'll use Vernes's Selenites sometime soon. Selenites who happen to be DnD's Dromites to be exact.
