  1. London Guidebook (or is it Guidebook to London) also cover some of the more general UK stuff. And there's another one by Pagan Publishing... The Golden Dawn, that covers the Esoteric phase of the UK in those years with Medium and a Mythos order

    Better issue a blanket apology for those speakers of other languages out there, if I make any errors it is simply my bad as I was always a typical English man and useless at learning other languages. I won't let it get in the way of a good story though!

    No need to apologize, language can be hard to learn...French in particular is tricky. But you are right the story is great and I really enjoy it.

  3. That's getting pretty interesting and the map is really cool.

    As a quick FYI, if you wish to be as accurate as possible in French, the feminine for for "Comte" would be "Comtesse". But being that Gallic is a fantasy French-like language, you could easily overlook this little aspect.

    Can't wait for part 3.

    What titles from the Cthulhu back catalog that haven’t already been revised or otherwise made available would you like to see in print again?

    For me, Before the Fall and Return to Innsmouth.

    I'd rather see new material.

    They could reprint them and finally add the (vaporware) sequel Children of the Deep to the lot combining both.

  5. Good catch thanks.

    I noticed it wasn't the only common skill in the lot so did a bit of reshuffling giving the Musketeer 3 common skill (like the Dragonhunter and Impovrished Noble) and gave them the option of Lore (Heraldry), Streetwise or survival instead of the 3 common skills that snuck in. 

    That's awesome they you are giving it a go. If someone choose them, let me know how it turn out and if you have any suggestion to improve them please feel free, it would be greatly appreciated.

     

  6. Well I Haven't forgotten about this, but life.

    I still need to write it down, but I've came up with a few ideas for this one. The Suebian unique class I've cooked up is the Imperial Musketeer.

    Members of the Imperial Army, The Musketeer for an elite troop of line infantry skilled in the used of the musket. While they fight mainly on foot, they are also trained in mounted combat as well as skirmish tactics. This gives them a degree of flexibility on the battlefield not often seen in other troops.

    Obvisously it's still a rough draft, but gives a general ideal of what I'm aiming for for them.

    Backburnered?

    English expression, meaning pushed towards the back to be dealt with later, postponed.

    Imagine ehen you are cooking and put stuff on the back burner of your stove at low heat to keep them warm, so you can get back to it later once you are ready.

  8. I've started working on the Suebian and the Holy Faliscan Empire of the Suebian Nation.

    As indicated above, they will be loosely built based on the Holy Roman Empire which means there is both a decentralized and a centralized power (Local Nobles and the Empire), both a small Imperial Army and Regional mustered Army and a small navy (20 or 40 ships). 

    Based on the Era, I's still working on the basics both skills and culture, the Unique class is a bit trickier, not that it is hard to do, but more on what cultural element I want ot focus on (currently debating between Artillery or Clergy).

    Below are links to my work documents and Any feedback will be appriciated.

    It's not so much an English thing as it is New England/Massachusetts. You hear "creek" more in the south and midwest. New England it's usually brook or river. We like to be a little weird.

    Oh I see. Better this way then for immersion purpose.

    Am I missing something obvious with this? While there are great maps of the USA from that era, finding maps of other countries is not as easy.

    You could do San Francisco to Panama City or Valparaiso (Chile)  by ship in the 1920s. And from there go to Lima. It would be simpler.

    Or New York to Colon (Panama). Take the canal to Panana City and onto Lima..

    Pretty much. Better still, if you pick a town in Mass. that you like and  just goggle it with  quarry or cement or crushed stone and you will probably get some hits. Back before we had the infrastructure to transport tons of rock, if you wanted stone, you had to get it locally. So there was probably a quarry or three in every town in New England. Its just that most were either "used up" or went out of business as things advanced. But there are still some small ones 

    Thanks To Toadmaster's map of 1920's Massachusetts, I've decided to put Jameson's Creek Northwest of Dunstable, near the New-Hampshire's border. Now to flesh that little sucker of mine.

    And on quarries, leaving aside where there actually were functioning quarries, I'm not sure how many places you couldn't put a marble quarry and have it be plausible to someone who isn't a geologist

    Actually, I wasn't even thinking of marble (or granite), I was thinking more either like for cement or just crushed stone.

    Lots of possibilities is always good. And your right, I can pretty much put it anywhere we want and most people wont be the wiser.

    Tons of goodies 

    Sweet thank you, that's pretty handy. 

    It's an idea for a small forgotten community about midway  between Dunwich and Arkham, between a small river and forested escarpment with a quarry where most of them work since the early 1800s.

    Old Megalith and cave system under the quarry are part of it too.

  13. Back in '01-'03, there was a Dunkies just off of Dong-A University's Hadan Campus in Busan (South Korea). Those were the good day. Not sure if it's still there though as I'm back in Canada.

    Now of I can be so bold as to piggyback on this topic with my own Massachusetts question. What kind of quarry could (potentially) be found between Dunwich & Arkham? And would/could it be close to the Miskatonic River or would it be further North, near New Hampshire?
