Café de Nuit

Well, I pitched my idea for a "Victorian X-Files" to my game group and it was well-recieved. I think they are willing to give it a shot. A few of them already gave me character concepts.

Anyway ... I'd like to present to you the plot elements of my campaign, but since I will be using D20 Modern/Past instead of Masque of the Red Death, I'm not sure if that would be considered a faux pas here. Therefore, I'm asking permission first from the moderators and from the regular posters here.

May I post my non-MotRD campaign basis here for critique and idea-sharing?

If not, you will get no argument from me, not even the slightest grumble. I moderate a few forums myself and I completely understand the need to keep a forum strictly on topic.

If so, thank you very much.

Oh HECK yeah!

As its still MOTRD setting I don't see any reason not to post your campaign here. The rule set realy dosn't matter as long as the feel and setting is MOTRD.

Personaly i think d20 modern is MUCh more suted to run a d20 game then 3rd ed but thats just my two silver coins.

Well, to clarify ... the problem is that I don't have the MotRD book. I can't afford it right now.

My campaign will be set in 1890's Earth, and the PCs will be investigators of the supernatural, but lacking the MotRD setting book I won't have access to the setting-specific concepts.

In short, I plan to run a Victorian-era "Shadow Chasers" campaign using d20 Modern/Past. The *era* will be the same, but the setting, not so much.

Do you have the D20 Modern Menace Manual? The Six-Fingered Hand in there is from Masque, although it's of course a modernized take. Most of the Victorian info on the timeline (the group's involvement in Krakatoa and general motivations) are still applicable. IDHMBIFOM, but I don't *believe* there's any other qabals in there, though the Hoffman Institute would be passable as a version of Die Wachtern (the qabal headed by Dr. Van Helsing).

I do have the Menace Manual.

My thought on the matter is that as long as the information posted is gothic in nature, and thus easily used in a MotRD Campaign, then there would be no reason why it shouldn't be posted here. After all, Lady Ligeia has added a great deal to this Forum over the last few weeks without having the MoTRD camapign book and her comments have been great additions.

If it makes any difference, I think this forum is much more about Gothic Earth than MotRD. Your game takes place on Gothic Earth, doesn't it?

Mine will be a campaign of Victorian-era horror, but not *the* 'Gothic Earth' as detailed in the Masque of the Red Death setting book.

As this forum is only for MotRD/GE, I do recommend you post it on the roleplay games forum rather than this one, even if your game is a gothic victorian-based one

This forum really is for MotRD/GE only when it comes down to it, not things that are similar, sorry.

I don't have a problem with that.

Hey, Wiccy, I think you missed the ball here

Still a victorian era game is a victorian era game, whatever system you use. Miss Ligeia, I suggest you post your campaign planning here, since putting it elsewhere might dilute the attention it will get. People with interest in MotRD are your main target for this request and they are surely reading this forum, but perhaps not the other ones.

And people here might give you good ideas to enrich your campaign with some MotRD elements, even if your campaign wasn't planned as strictly MotRD.

The bottom message boards are for roleplaying, not campaign planning discussions.

(Sorry Wiccy! PM me if you disagree)

With all due respect to Wiccy, I agree with Joel. Taking a look at the general roleplaying forum, I see a thread for the WWE roleplaying game, D&D 4th edition, and Sacrifice d20. Surely, this is a more appropriate forum. I'm a lot less likely to look at the general forum.

The Roleplay Games forum is for any games and systems that are not GE or RL. After discussing things over with Joel, we have reached a solution that will have the nice Lady post her campaign on the GE board

This goes to show that us mods are not always likely to agree on things either, lol.

Ok cool. Thanks, guys.
