“What for the hurry? Does this hole close? Does it need to go somewhere?”
Nezhnaya seemed to mutter under her breath, yet somehow it was audible to the whole crowd. The middle-aged woman stomped a bit as she made her way toward the Maw, jingling a bit with each step as the contents of her...
She studies western esotericism. It's either French or Attic Greek, and Greek doesn't seem as likely to be useful. Well, or Latin, but Bad Things happen to people who speak Latin in Lovecraft-adjacent games.
Here's the one I'm using:

This is surreal horror rather than Lovecraft's gothic-cosmic horror. It's supposedly a great campaign, but it's not the typical CoC/Delta Green experience.
On the other hand...
Seriously, I'm interested. I volunteer to play the scholar of the occult who goes a bit insane halfway through.
Do you want a PDF sheet, or just a sheet put up on RPnation?
Something very Darkest Dungeon about all of this. Anybody mind if I play an occultist and throw in a lot of spurious esoteric jargon?
I'm thinking that they'll come from Grejet, with a bit of pseudo-Russian style.
Very interested.
How much leeway is there for creating our own backstory in a generic dark fantasy mode? I'm thinking a survivor of a sacked and war-torn city, a scoundrel who fears solitude and has a guilty conscience.
Albert pasted on a smile. "Oh, old Sol is still around, is he? Good to hear, I was afraid his gout had finally gotten the better of him. Well, I'm afraid that he's right in the superiority of his stock, since Leahman Brothers is hampered by our commitment to authenticity."

A sharp tapping could be heard a few moments before the creator came into view. A nattily dressed man and his metal-shod cane approached the front gate. Carefully giving wide berth to the two women having a reunion, he paused to take in the sweep of the grounds.
"Ah, the fabulous Bakker...

I'd be interested in playing a journalist. Possibly British. Would the heavy censorship continue? I can see arguments that the powers-that-be would not want the people back home to know that the planet was being invaded.
It's a role-playing game by White Wolf in their World of Darkness setting, alongside games like Vampire: The Requiem and Werewolf: The Forsaken. (If you, like me, are a bit older, you're probably more familiar with the original versions of the settings: Hunter the Reckoning, Vampire the...
One thing I did in a campaign was say that the PCs are running a podcast or youtube series chronicling their ghost hunting. That required them to create a certain amount of content every hunt to publish, including some voiceovers and a talking head bit. That meant that the characters had to do...
Uh. I'm not sure how to answer the poll. On one hand, I'm interested to see what happens. On the other hand, this is probably the most controversial period of US history and I don't really feel like sticking my hand inside a hornet's nest.
