Spent some time today to finish this document which I had intended to try out this weekend but could not due to my lingering cold. The document is a fan made nonprofit add-on for the vanilla Strange Aeon's ruleset and includes profiles and special rules for Thrall servants, Vampires, Antediluvian Vampires as well as a Vampire Hunter special agent for the Threshold team to hire. The document is stripped of unnecessary pictures and background clutter to make it as printer friendly as possible.

You can find the download link to the free download of the document on my blog here: link

When I hit the pdf link I am taken to a site where I have to subscribe to a service costing £4.50 GBP a week before I get my document.
Tried again was taken to another site where I had to download something else before I got the pdf. I decided not to as Adobe has always worked for me before.
I'm sure this has nothing to with you but it is bloody irritating.

You clicked on the blue "Download" button on the 2shared page?
Added that clarification to my blog entry now as well to avoid future confusion as to which button is correct.

Great to extend the coverage of a game you like and know so well to not-Lovecraftian 'beings'!
Re. the limitations seen so far in 'official' Strange Aeons by players favoring 'traditional' monsters: TMP link. Werewolves to come?

And great to see the reminder that SA con be played in the 18th C. link!


Btw I'm not sure vampires need special minis when in human form Carmilla & Dracula have them passing unnoticed among 'normal' humans. Fortunately your chosen minis don't suffer from the 'sabretooth syndrome'! Only from the 'excited Sunnydale vampire' one. Yet for the 18th C. the Reaper Skinsaw man as you painted it would look more fitting

. For female vampires in 18th C. dress I'd suggest the Foundry Revenant Elves:

Zenit Thetis could also work

For a young vampire girl à la 'Interview…', the cute Reaper gnome wizard link
(here lovely painted:

from link ) would be appropriate -specially if you add a 18th knot of ribbon at the base of her braid.
If you dislike (being of the fashionable underworld war between vampires and werewolves) the idea that a master vampire can turn into a giant wolf, in 'Hellsing' Alucard turns into a kind of giant *dog* with more than one pair of eyes, and Taban Minis have a suitable figurine:

For master vampires, turning into a swarm of bats would be more spectacular and 'in character' (like the sorceress turns to a flock of crows: YouTube link ). I'm sure GW has one, but the lesser known from Masquerade minis (Deutchland) is also good:

While some 'Pirates' minis would perfectly fit in a (Lovecraftian or Gothic) Lacepulp setting:

Partly relevant threads, figurines wise:

The unfortunately not so sexy (compare to

) 'A Touch of Evil' monster huntress

cries to be used as a 18th C. female Van Helsing or Witcher YouTube link ('Witchress'? Sorceliere in French).

Compliments and thanks for the 'enlightening' effort: keep carrying on the Good Work!
Cheers!

PS: if intrigued about a '18th C. translation' of the manga / anime Hellsing: link)

I thought I would use the Skinsaw man for the "Antideluvian" vampire. Werewolves are already in the Strange Aeons book :-)

I will get back to this document in the near future and add the 18th century rules tweaks to it so it can be played with my modification as well.

Werewolves are already in the Strange Aeons book :-)

Don't have it, and it was far from being expectable: werewolves and, more generally, 'traditional' "monsters", are not typical of Lovecraft's writings (or from Howard's, for that matter). Even his 'ghouls' are… atypical (while his Martense link correspond rather well with the original vision of ghouls).

Btw, the Crocodile Games 'Egyptian' ghouls are of the Pickman model, but could also be used as impressive werewolves:
