a 1920s city? with insanity-inducing ancient gods? if there's another game out there like this, show me and i'd app there in an instant. it's not like having a game in "a city" means it's suddenly going to become cape and cowl 2 or vatheon: the sequel.

ia, i liked the 1920s lovecraft setting because it turned the "city jamjar" game into something interesting. a city in the roaring twenties with cults that regularly pull characters for crazy shit and lovecraftian horror creatures that terrorize the town? count me in!

This mod team has proven they can actually run intense horror, too, so it's hardly going to turn generic jamjar if the game ends up set in a city. Besides, all the options have been done in one form or another by other games before. There's only so much you can do to vary the base setting of a jamjar.

There's been other games set in cities with horror themes too. Maybe not 1920s or lovecraftian but Haven is city-based and horror currently out.

by that logic, henlein is scorched, the castle is holloways or paradisa, the 20s is capeandcowl or vatheon, and beta is lastvoyages. sharing one general aspect means next to nothing.

Anon. Anon, no.

What? Did anon make all of the ideas suck for you?

i think what the other anon is trying to say is that there's no need to make those setting comparisons with other games. if the roaring 20s get chosen, good for the people who like it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to suck/turn into slice of life just because it's in a city. they might turn it into something like what they did with the pan's labyrinth setting except that this will have lovecraftian stuff.

and really, if you do lovecraft monsters right, they're actually pretty terrifying. i for one would like to see body horror shit where eihort lays eggs inside of their 'vessel' and the character has to give birth to that thing. it's not all cthulhu, you know, there are other interesting lovecraftian gods that could affect the setting and the characters in different ways. coupled with the timeframe i think it could make for an interesting setting.

(and i originally voted for henlein before anyone asks but see a lovecraft is fine too.)

(also i hope that's what the other anon meant if not i'm really sorry for misreading your comment, and this comment is now just my 2c on the situation)

tbh I wish people would just say, 'I don't want this setting as much as the setting I chose' instead of trying to convince people roaring 20s is wrong because it's not unique enough. Which is an argument we can all agree is at best pedantic and at worst deluded.
