SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Ronin;904674Your thinking of Cold City. Hot War is the same writer/company but takes place in the aftermath of WWIII. Cold City's setting is awesome. Love it! But I hate the system. Run it with another system and bam. Straight awesome.

That would be it. Thanks for the correction.

Quote from: Ronin;904677Definitely worth giving a read. Like I said, the setting is great.

It is. I've used setting bits from both Cold City and Hot War with Ye Olde CoC to great effect.

I believe The Unexplained from Carnivore Games hasn't been mentioned. It runs on Fudge.

That looks like that's right up my alley. Thanks for the suggestion!

Probably would not be too hard to advance Masque of the Red Death from TSR from 1890 to more modern times. Drop or reduce the mystical classes and its fairly viable.

As someone mentioned Maelstrom: Domesday, I would also mention Servants of Gaius, where you play occult investigators in the Roman Empire.

Also, my own upcoming Dark Albion: Cults of Chaos features the set-up for an "Inquisitors Campaign", where you play agents of the church, crown, or some lord, sent to investigate cases of Chaos Cults, heresies, witchcraft, and monsters.
LION & DRAGON: Medieval-Authentic OSR Roleplaying is available now! You only THINK you\'ve played \'medieval fantasy\' until you play L&D.

You mean like Gothic Earth Eternal or Fellowship of the White Star?
"...player narration and DM fiat fall apart whenever there's anything less than an incredibly high level of trust for the DM. The general trend of D&D's design up through the end of 4e is to erase dependence on player-DM trust as much as possible, not to create antagonism, but to insulate both sides from it when it appears." - Brandes Stoddard

It's specifically aimed at emulating real-world investigation into "real" paranormal phenomena with sections on Ghost Hunting, Ghost Ships, Cryptozoology, Parapsychology, UFOlogy and Magic.
