Title: 1920s Balkans Horror - When Nightmares Come
Post by: sunjester on 03 July 2024, 04:33:53 PM
 Colin and I have embarked on a new case using When Nightmares Come, again set in the 1920s, this time centred around the Balkans. Background and first game is on the blog https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2024/07/when-nightmares-come-balkans-case-1920s.html

I still haven't properly read your first report based in Egypt  :(  :'(

I've bookmarked this page and your blog's, hoping to get round to reading them all at some point as I really like the idea of the game.

Watching "Penny Dreadful" again, and noticing - as any but the blind must - how extensively Eva Green's  fine superstructure is on display, not that I'm complaining, far from it...where was I? Of, yes. Should the show not really be called "Green's Anatomy"?

Excellent stuff Graham - gripping in word and deed. Well done.

My only, slightly churlish, observation is that these Werewolves seem a tad easy to dispatch!
I thought we were looking at silver bullets for certain termination of such hellish monsters?

However, I am looking forward to the next adventure - maybe some abandoned isle in the Outer Hebrides? Or a Norse or Russian snowbound excursion perhaps?

Keep the reports coming
Yours
