Eventually it will be a pivotal resource for a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen one shot. ;)

heh heh that's pretty good!!!Here I thought this was going to be a thread about Kickstarter projects you thought were dead (*coughfarwest*)

It's a slight variant of the CoD system. Dice don't explode, and skills at 3 or above get little mini-feats.Looks cool, 70s horror is probably my favourite, I think 70s Hammer is also underrated. It says this is Onyx Path's Storypath system so that is CoD right? Not a fan of what I've seen from that system unfortunately, I'd rather have in a modified V5 or BRP system.
Frankenstein Created Woman.
In general I find Onyx Path tend to miss the mark in what they write. The books are a bit too long with too much fiction, the system has a bit too much spinning wheels and the tone is somewhat off. It's a pity as I really think with more stringent editing they're on the edge of great games.I'll have to dig into who is working on this as some of what I've seen from Onyx Path designers online makes me doubt they have the right sensibility for the proposed genre. The 70s are when horror became a lot less 'comfy' in general.
That's the only Hammer film that i consider mean-spirited. It really is quite unpleasant.
Have you seen Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed?
Oh wow, Hrud for Necromunda. Awesome.Cyberrats just went live, I'm psyched
I'm not familiar with COD, is that the system used for the White Wolf's Vampire et al?
Since there doesn't seem to be much faith that this will hit the mark, just curious what factors make something 60-70s horror (Hammer, Roger Corman etc).
For me Hammer tended to be loosely based on the 1930s "classics" (Frankenstien, Dracula etc) add Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (the better ones anyway) plus buckets of blood. Other than his series of EA Poe films in the 1960s Roger Corman doesn't really seem to have any recurring themes tying his films together, beyond setting B movie standards.
Interesting.I'd say 70s horror is pretty distinct from 60s horror.
I think Kim Newman makes a convincing argument in Nightmare Movies that Night of the Living Dead (68') is the seminal film indicating the sea-change, after that horror becomes more violent, intense, political and often nihilist: TCM, Last House on the Left, Black Christmas, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Halloween, etc.
I don't think 60s films are as well defined, like American film in general they are more transitional films moving from the slightly more conventional approach of the 50s to the more modern-feeling films of the 70s.

God damn. If I'm reading that right, they've released five versions of 2nd edition since yesterday.
DTRPG sales blurb said:1st edition had 110 level-up skills, 2nd Edition has 240!
Sounds like a game based on my experiences in the toilet
I tried with what resources I had but..... So yeah it is ironic.The irony here is I will probably receive this before the first Kickstarter I ever backed which you also had a part in (and the delay has nothing at all to do with your portion of the work)...City State of the Invincible Overlord.
I did the cartography for the what was to be its more recent incarnation. But you are in for a treat.You worked on City State of the Invincible Overlord? Very cool, I didn't even know it was getting a reboot! I lean heavily on the old school sourcebook for city ideas.
Thanks and I appreciate it.I will add your KS to notifications and wish your project success.
@Malrex and @PrinceofNothing have another KS project launching soon. I liked their Red Prophet Rises adventure
