Get excited!

So how about a modern scenario, maybe 1920s to honor Lovecraft and all? It could still include magic, if you go all World of Darkness about it.

[Xantalos]

Hell, a Lovecraft scenario is perfect for this game kinda!

So with the idea of roman/modern era scenarios, would you, the elder god, get nerfed in magic as well, since having a world where no one else can use it sounds like it would be quiet easy to overwhelm (unless there's some sort of even where they can steal it from you, maybe)?

Late Roman empire was filled with mystery cults, if there is magic in the world, I assume they'd have it too. In a modern 1920/1930s scenario, those were the golden times of spiritism and hocus-pocus. Just make it so Alistair Crowley is actually a wizard etc. As long as the magic is subtle, I think it can work in historical scenarios just okay.

You wouldn't even need to have it as a "conquer the world" type deal; just grab a map of a town (maybe even from a lovecraft board game) and put an emphasis on hero "investigators" and what they do.

Basically coming full circle back to Arkham Horror.

Sorry guys, no chance of anything remotely modern - the gameplay mechanics and theme wouldn't really translate, not to mention the asset requirements! 

If we were to tackle a more modern variant of the game it would doubtless go much further down the Lovecraft vein and would play out much differently.

Still, you never know what a determined modder might come up with - if someone makes a modern map I'd definitely give it a try.

[Xantalos]

I've seen what Skyrim modders do, there'll be a modern map at some point.

Before long, Thomas the Tank Engine skins and making sweet, awkward uncanny valley love to your followers will come to That Which Sleeps as well?

[Jalak]

Don't forget destroying the magical land of techno-color ponies...

[Vgray]

I actually hope someone makes a map of Azeroth for this.

The world has forgotten your name.

Desire for game just shot up a bit. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT FRIENDSHIP YOU SAY OH LOOK YOUR LAND IS DYING

Come on guys, you proved in like fifteen threads that you can't discuss colored horses without breaking the rules.  Get that shit outta here.

I honestly don't know what you mean by that.
