“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater that man’s…intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a RP based on the great H.G Well's novel – forget the films, this would be set at the beginning of the 20th century in the UK with Victorian/Edwardian technology. I thought maybe we could play the invasion of London and the aftermath. I have three ideas:
1/ Playing it straight and pretty accurately historically-speaking, using the book as the only source material.
2/ Adding a slight steampunk element, with a few weird inventions, possibly mad scientist types giving soldiers bizarre weapons and stuff to fight the Martians.
3/ Steampunk and general madness, with some supernatural elements added in as well. Maybe there’ll be some people with ESP abilities, or magic-using types or cultists trying to raise Cthulhu, or whatever.
If interested, please let me know which option appeals to you the most.
