SerNameless Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Initially I was planning on running Horror on the Orient Express for my players with their current investigators after they completed A Time to Harvest. That is until I realized that ATtH takes place in the 30s while HotOE takes place in 1923. So I started brainstorming some ideas about how to make this mesh. A ) ATtH actually takes place in the early 20s (probably about 1921) B ) HotOE actually takes place in the mid 30s C ) The conclusion of ATtH someone sends the players back to around 1923 and I rope them into HotOE somehow The con with plan A is that based on continuity certain events (Whisperer in the Darkness) wouldn't have happened yet so it would throw a wrench into the Akeley/Wilmarth relationship. The con with plan B is that any historical events (Irish revolution, tensions between socialists and fascists) would have to be rewritten/scrapped completely. Plan C just seems like a total cop out to me that would require a lot of work for minimal/weird pay out. What do you guys think? Any solutions I'm overlooking? How would you potentially handle this situation. Link to comment
morganhua Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'd run HotOE (1923) and then aTtH (1930's). If HotOE characters survive, then they could be only 7+ years older. With aTtH completely released, I'd say it would have taken me less than 6 months to run with weekly sessions of 4 hrs each. But my group skipped the Mi-Go base and the Cobbs Corners finale. HotOE is taking me almost 2 years to run, but I'm running it once every 2 weeks at 4 hrs each session, so it would take about 1 year if at the same pace as aTtH. I'd start aTtH with students, but all replacement characters can be survivors from HotOE. You can make HotOE survivors employees of FOC. Link to comment
