Rover Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Re: Horror Hero rant Hi All, I've allways found horror games, ie; COC & it's like, to be an excellent wake-up call to players who were used to 'immortal'- chararcters*. Many enjoyed the change of pace and as a temp game it was an excellent way of prepeparing gamers for a tougher game, IE: one where thier characters could die! *characters the GM couldn't bring himself to kill Regards, Rover.

Doctor Agenda Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Horror Hero rant Sorry for the extreme threadromancy, but I just read the collection 'On Her Majesty's Occult Service' and in trying to find more, came across an e-book CoC-based RPG that uses Stross's setting. I purchased a copy and have already started incorporating elements into my conspiratorial Champions game: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=83956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Agenda Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Horror Hero rant The above may seem less out-of-the-blue if I note it is in response to post #41 by Xiowar, I just forgot to 'reply with quote'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Main Man Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Horror Hero rant But yeah, I have one of those unphaseable kinds of players in a small Doctor Who game I run. Granted the core problem is more that he's one of "those" players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Horror Hero rant That's too bad. The fun of the Doctor Who setting is facing things that scare you crapless and winning. That is unless you are playing the Doctor. Then you are scared in Act 1 and Act 2, but get a massive power-up in Act 3 so you can come in for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Main Man Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Horror Hero rant He plays a companion. We made up our own Time Lord (The Drifter) for this campaign, who will change hands between the players over time. That said, the other players (this one included) started off playing as themselves. Naturally, he's the only one who cannot seem to actually play himself because he cannot seem to swallow his ego and emotionally immerse himself into the game for better or worse like everyone else. I don't know what's worse, that the game is held at his house (it developed after Series 5 ended) or that this is his girlfriend's first RPG experience and she's already better at it than he is. That said, I do mix it up, being that Doctor Who isn't all horror. I think the best description of my current style is Douglas Adams meets HP Lovecraft.
