Horror on the Orient Express: Zagreb handouts II


We completed the Horror on the Orient Express Campaign earlier this year, indeed I have already posted a link to the handouts I used for the Zagreb chapter here. But the end of the year is a good time to clear house and get things done that have been put on the back burner, so I'm returning to this subject to share some other handouts I made for that session.

What I did not get round to posting at that time were the audio files I used for that chapter, to voice the stranger in the mists that guides the party round dream Zagreb. To remedy that, I have made available the audio files I used for that session in a Dropbox folder. There are two types of file, those that were taken straight from the chapter as written, and some that I made individually for the Investigators of my group.

Zagreb Audio Files can be found here.  Please feel free to use them, but I would also like to know if you do, so drop me a comment to let me know.

The inspiration for these files was taken (read blatantly ripped off from) this blog. The files were created using the same voice changer that the writer of that blog used, and can be found here.

What I do offer here that the Horror on the Orient Express prop blog cannot is a European accent. Not an authentic accent from Zagreb by any means, as I am Scottish via Montreal rather than Croatian, but for that moody ghost guy vibe, I can offer a non-North American accent.

There were two other props I made for that chapter. A skull for the stranger to carry, and a bottle of wine for the players to drink to enter into the Dreamlands.

The wine was a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine I found in the local store, which had a small label and a dark bottle, and was perfect for the job. The label was taken straight from the Blog mentioned above from this post.

The Skull was printed out from here, and taped together. I have since bought a skull from the dollar store during Halloween, so the next time I need one I'm set, but this one really worked and didn't even cost the dollar.

Necronomicon Dissection: Part 6, Purchases

Ok, so there were many reasons for going to a Con like this, but one of them is surely to pick up on products that you can't get elsewhere, or without spending too much on postage. With this in mind, I think I was actually quite restrained in my purchases. First off, I had a list of books to buy at the Chaosium stand (although I did spend my Cult of Chaos credit, and won one of these through the Extra Life Charity event prize draw). I was able to get the following: Pulp Cthulhu Two Headed Serpent Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic Doors To Darkness Dead Light Another tip to the vendors hall led me to find a couple of second hand book stores, who had all the kinds of books you'd want to find at a Con like this, including: H P Lovecraft : The Shadow over Innsmouth and other Stories of Horror, as well as a copy of August Derleth's: The Reminiscences of Solar Pons. The Necronomicon Press stand was there, where I hooked up with a copy of TED Klein's: The ...

RPG a Day: Day 7

Question 7: What was your most impactful RPG session? Hmm, from which side of the GM screen? I guess I'll answer from both points of view. As a player : There was once a Buffy game played in Edinburgh called The Watch House  (it was only a matter of time before that game came up, no?). There are two sessions that stick in my memory. The first is the one where my character was possessed by his evil ancestor. The second was the breaking of the 4th wall episode, where some of us played our characters, the actors who played our characters in a TV show, and finally, played our versions of the actual players for another character at the table. It sounds confusing, but it was a hell of a lot of fun, and fun is the reason we're at the table. These sessions stuck with me, as they opened doors to my understanding of what you can do at the table, when the other people at the table are in it for the same reasons as you. As a GM/Keeper : Scaring the Players. A Call of Cthulhu ...
