Tag Archives: The World of 1938

GM: Ashleigh Mitchell
Game System: combining several elements from the World of Darkness GURPS source books, including Vampire, Voodoo, and Spirits; as well as the standard 3rd Edition GURPS rules.
Years: 1998-1999

The World of 1938 was an alternate timeline to ours.

In this world, reality began to diverge from our mainline significantly around 1893, when Nicola Tesla married Anne Morgan, daughter of J.P. Morgan. This incident provided Tesla with a financial stability he did not enjoy in our timeline, and made some of his legal battles of our world non-existent.

Despite the financial backing of Morgan, however, certain events continued apace, albeit with not necessarily the same outcomes. World tensions had been building since the mid-1800’s with the colonial expansion of Britain, Japan and Russia, which resulted in the Great War, which the United States largely avoided. The stock market crash of 1929, while severe in the US, caused economic instability in Europe which lasted most of the next decade, as Europe and Asia attempted to rebuild their war-ravaged economies.

Set in Paris on the Eve of the Second Great War, the campaign actually began via email exchanges as introductions and a series of dinner engagements between the PCs, the most striking of which was Nephir Nuit St John, a Vampire; Nikki de Albuquerque, an Immortal in the Highlander sense; and Inez Patterson, and artist and Initiate of Voudon (she was actually one of two players who were Voudonistas, the other was Nephir’s serving woman, who was a part-time PC).

This was the introductory document I sent to my players for the 1938 Campaign. In reviewing this today, it appears that some sections may duplicate themselves; if so, I apologise, 1998 was a long time ago.) [Note: actual historical information … Continue reading →

Posted on 10 September 2020 by Ashleigh, the Weregamer10 September 2020

The 1938 Campaign was a fun experiment. It was one of the few times since 1987 that I (Ashleigh) had been GM in a campaign. Most of our usual cast of players were there, Cat & Mike, Bjoern & Stuart, … Continue reading →
