Thats more like it, proper monsters! ;D

Excellent stuff, very much looking forward to seeing the games unfold :)

I reckon Little Lead Adventures would be able to handle Werewolves, Vampires etc. ;)

I also fancy a bit of real monster hunting akin to a Brotherhood of the Wolf type scenario.
Already a very promising image!
A Brotherhood of the Wolf type campaign -maybe with a "real" werewolf, or -less obviously- the 'master' of the 'beast' being a vampire (or a psychopath fancing himself as such) indeed offers a lot of possibilities.

Nice project  :)

Regarding rules, there is a "Brotherhood of Wolves" scenario for .45er/Gloire.
Pulp Alley or Strange Aeons would also work for monster-hunting games.

There is a Bete du Gevaudan game in Vae Victis thematique magazine number three. The game is by Olivier Perronny.

You could be right too. I have chatted a bit with Mark about these and they sound very promising.

I have read all your relevant posts at length Jean - much food for thought. Probably what prompted me to try some 18th century horror in the first place.

Pulp Alley or Strange Aeons would also work for monster-hunting games.

Yes - I have never really looked at either of these rules.

Actually found a link to their game here - http://laforgedecelebrimbor.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/fuyez-bonnes-gens-voila-la-bete-du.html

This thread is great. It's nice to see some horror that's not spliced up with Steampunk. That seems to be the thing nowadays  ::)

Great stuff, I shall follow with interest! I have often thought about this idea - 18th Century just seems to work well for the genre. Probably The Brotherhood of the Wolf's influence in my mind.
