makenzie is gearing up to run a bimonthly VtM campaign and oh boy am i having a devious little time creating a horrible vampire freak.

I do think it's strange and baffling that Call of Cthulhu scenarios mostly take place in 1920s, as in, just after ww1, and in countries that were involved in ww1, and still campaign books often default to assuming the investigators are men. Like if anything, it'd make sense to advice players to favour female investigators. Famously, the young men were not around as much as they used to be. It was a whole thing.

failing history checks left and right like the lore was there. it didn't change anything. it didn't save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the lore was there

I haven't talked about my tabletop rpg shenanigans here lately but I'm finally going to run a campaign of my own: a deliberately fucking stupid take on Curse of Strahd which everyone who's heard about it so far just instantly referred to as 'what we do in Barovia'
