Quote from: misterguignol;595097The same sort of stuff I've done in my Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque books, I suppose.  My rules for terror and horror are more in-genre than Ravenloft's fear and horror saves; my gothic character archetypes give more indications on what types of characters fit the themes; my dark secrets tables and former professions tables give more genre emulation; etc.

And now I sound like a shill.

But your books are good stuff, so it's okay.

MisterGuignol - Since you're a lit professor, give me a survey course syllabus of Gothic Literature that hits well all the themes you brought into your RPG book.

Or if it includes such a syllabus, tell me to stop being a dumbass and just download it.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum
