Are they really making a Lincoln vampire film?

Our school club will hopefully be building London terrain next month.
Shame they haven't got some pdf London slums to download with the intro scenario.

Luckily it came just a couple of weeks too late for our next school open day, so at the moment we are busy building a western town.

You could be on to a winner there. I cant think of much on the market at the moment of that nature. There's the buildings from TVAG or maybe some from there will work:

Where is Papamidnight? This game is right up his dark & twisted alley.

Well as promised, here is a little poem I put together that didn't get a place in the book, it's based on AA Milne's Vespers for anyone that doesn't know it....

Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head .
Hush! Hush! What’s that on the stairs?
A ghoul or a fiend from someone’s nightmares?

‘God save us from evil, God save us from fright.
Another man slain in the dark streets tonight
Who will protect us?  Who will prevail?
Who will preserve us where all good men fail?

‘Now all of mankind faces beasts born in myth,
That rise from the grave or forest or rift
They stalk through the city, the fields and the wood
Oh Lord please protect me, I wish that you would.

‘I fear for my sister, I fear for Papa ,
I fear that they plan to steal my Mama.
As darkness descends on the city this night,
I fear that I’ll never more see the sunlight.

‘The shadows on walls, the whispers in trees
The chill winds that cause my body to freeze.
 The echoes of ages, of legend and fable
From all of these keep me however you’re able!’

Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Hush! Heed what he said ,
This is the world of Empire of the Dead.

I've PM'd Al so he should be along at some stage.

Thanks for the links.
TVAG is probably the best option, but to me still looks more Gangs of New York than Gangs of Whitechapel.

As we have now broken up for Easter, if anyone has any decent images of Whitechapel back streets, or even better, blueprints suitable for 12-13 year olds to assemble from foamcore board I'd appreciate it. They have just started building Gary Chalk style pirate ships for gaming the War of 1812 on the Great Lakes, so I have about a month to come up with some plans.

Bear with me chum, I'll send you some info. Are you savvy with Google Streetview?

[Skrapwelder]

I have a ton of images I've collected on the web for research. I'd be glad to put them into a pdf and send them to you if you like.

I found this recently. It looks like some research someone did into the Potter books but its got some nice plans and pictures.

TC - not particularly savvy with streetview. Might have seen it a couple of times.

SW - Spinners End looks interesting.
Would love to see some PDFs, I had already looked for your earlier LAF posts on Victorian buildings but they don't seem to have pictures now.

[Skrapwelder]

I'm in the process of fixing that. I got a new hosting service and took the opportunity to weed out some of the dross from my old files.

[Pappa Midnight]

I've had a look at the sample rules and it looks pretty interesting. I'm really more interested in the minis as it will mean I don't have to do quite so many conversions to create Victorian Zombies. The weird thing is I've been converting westwind minis into zeds for years......
I will probably just order some zombies for the time being and wait for the game to be out for a while so I can see some reviews before I take the plunge with yet another rule set!!!

new nemonian concept art !

[Thunderchicken]

Just had a peep at the new rulebook and it's very impressive. I only had five minutes so it was a quick thumb through. The concept looks good and from what I saw there is plenty of background and mechanics to help you tailor your own characters and factions; it seems they are categorised into good, neutral, evil etc and looking at werewolves they are neutral so that could be interesting. Loads of eye candy (I would say that as my Victorian layout is in there  ) and as I said over on the VSF board if they turn some of the art into actual figures I'll be buying them.

I'll have more time to look at them tomorrow so I'll keep you posted. I was sold on the quickplay rules so as long as they haven't been over complicated Westwind have done good.

Does that mean some of my creations are in there too?
