PW or staff inspired by Cthulhu Mythos?
« on: May 05, 2011, 09:04:59 pm »


               I wanted to ask the community if there are any PW's or multi-player mods about that are either inspired by Lovecraft Mythos, R.E. Howard style sword&sorcery, August Derleth TED Klien style storyline?

  Is there a place where the admins. or DM's are inspired by the Arkham House genre. I ask because as a DM on Arcana, a homebrew world, I was able to use storyline and such from Mythos and the Old Ones and such and the players seemed to have dug the horror/fantasy as much as I did making it up.

 For RP purposes only I hand a sort of 'witchhunter' class for the clerics that would fight undead/outsiders and made a few pieces of equipment with the CEP forge that made them kind of unique. Also a blackguard PC had a sword with a lower end enchantment of vampiric regen. I thought that was an awesome player Idea:)

 I would like to checkout a place favored by H.P.L devotes. Anyone have any ideas, even if it's an FR world where the core player base has a taste for this genre.
 My thanks in advance.
 
 Muvs.

 P.S. if I were to convert an exisiting mod of Arcana and reform it to include a heavy dose of Mythos spin, would any think of participating. Would be a real 75/25, RP/combat campaign. Mostly tracking down cults and insane thaumaturgical path following wizards and sorcerers ext.

               We have a player or two that enjoy that sort of thing that frequent our world, but I wouldn't say it is an overreaching theme. I'd also say one specific questline you can take has a taste for that sort, but yeah, not the 'core' as you want sorry!

As for the campaign, it sounds interesting. I'd be interested to hear more and see if the timezone worked out for me.

               I would recommend Ravenloft in the RP PW servers, as the mythos is based at least in part on Lovecraftian horror themes.

               Right, Ravenloft, that should have leaped right out at me. "I have to say thanks for that" '<img'>

And in response to Aleron: I will definitely post a message with the info here and on NwConn. if and when I can get this together. I have a really good mod in mind now to use and at least one more as a backup. I am jotting down some layout now for it and and the like. I believe I have a co-dm/ conspirator as well.

For ease of use I would even consider using some of the FR Gods...not the weaker deities tho:P Nyarlathotep...nah wait, the Shoggoth's alone would eat them for breakfast!

The story would still take place in a recognizable D&D type world but one in which the lesser races no little of the true nature of their world/magic/Gods...and what is actually "IN" those far off constellations. The Old 70's AD&D book Deities and Demigods had some Mythos monsters and and gods in it, I will have to collect that info first as my book was done after the copyright infringe took that stuff out. A lot of the Gygax AD&D favor was taken from Cthulhu Mythos and it's all too easy to put the spirit in a campaign.

I will hasten to flesh it out, thanks for the vote of interest Aleron, Muvs.

P.S. wish I could have checked out WSI again but your haks seem to break my NwN upon actually trying to enter the in...I can walk..no...run up the stairs tho' (it's probably a broken file, it usually is) If I figure it out maybe you guys can give me a nickle tour.
