Gothic Horror

Rules: Chaos in Carpathia by Scott Pyle (2007) supplemented by Tom Weiss's expanded warband lists and my own CinC Objective & Campaign System

I play: Hungarian Monster Hunters, Brotherhood, Werewolves, Dr. Frankenstein & His Creations, Nosferatu, Romanian Vampires
The Gothic Horror Project marks our second endeavor into the world of 28mm skirmish-level adventure gaming.  After playing a very entertaining Old West campaign, a few of us decided that it was time to try out another genre.

The narrative gallery outlines the world I've created to serve as a backdrop for our horror gaming and story-telling.  The fictional hamlet of Dertflinghan and the surrounding Transylvanian countryside will set the stage for a blood-curdling epic that will follow the individual encounters and stories of deeply satisfying characters - the mysterious Great Wolf of the Carpathian woods, a mad doctor with a dark past and a darker plan, the intrepid British explorer Sir Thrustam Mannleigh and his companions from the West - and many others.

Although the rather lengthy narrative posts are something I embark upon less than I used to, I play an awful lot of this game, primarily with "the other Jason" in my group. Although we don't continue the narrative in quite the same way as I originally did, we still set out games against the backdrop of Dertflinghan, both its setting and its characters.
