Title: WHEN NIGHTMARES COME - Balkans 1920s Campaign
Post by: Sunjester on July 04, 2024, 09:41:03 AM: I'm not sure whether to put this in Pulp or Horror?
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

Are these like zombies or something different?

Reaper does some - https://www.reapermini.com/search/werewolf/latest/14563

Their treatment is probably closer to zombies, but I guess the subject is open to interpretation :D

I've just built some were-bears, zombie werewolves and GW Fenris Wolves. I seem to be spending all my time building and painting, so I just never get around to the actual game side of things :(

Post by: WillPhillips on August 02, 2024, 04:28:44 AM: I've been pretty curious about these rules since they were announced - enjoying your campaign. Thanks for sharing it.
Title: Re: WHEN NIGHTMARES COME - Balkans 1920s Campaign
Post by: Mad Lord Snapcase on August 02, 2024, 10:02:37 AM: Really enjoying your Balkans Campaign. I'm thinking about getting a copy of the rules now. Your Venice scenery is looking great too. :-*

Post by: Sunjester on August 04, 2024, 07:42:27 AM: Thank you for the kind words, chaps.

When I started using When Nightmares Come I thought that the games might quickly become a bit too "samey", but now I'm into my second campaign that has not proven the case. I'd recommend anyone to grab a copy of these rules and try them out. The beauty of the Osprey Blue Books is that they don't cost a fortune so it's easier to give new things a try out without hurting the bank balance!

I keep painting and building figures for it, but I really must do something about actually organising a game
