Greetings one-and-all, Update on my blog: link The Haunting of Hedge House, a Call of Cthulhu game, set in 1970s Philadelphia. Final confrontation with 28mm miniatures. Remember rule #1 – reload. Regards,

Keith,
Looks like a great game. What made you pick 1970s Philly for a setting? |

Hello Nick, I lived in Philly for a while, and you can feel the history and age. There's a European feel, as far as the history. Philly feels a lot like London. And the 70s were difficult times in the West – inflation, stagflation, pollution, overpopulation and by the end of the decade, it seems like people felt "Glad that's over." In short, it was close in atmosphere to running in the late 1920's, but also gave a "Night Stalker" vibe. Also, the original players were native Philadelphians, so there was a nostalgia factor. Thanks for the kind words.
Regards,
Keith F. |

Ah, thought it would be a Burrows & Badgers Horror setting…. |

MiniMo, Yes, the scenario is titled "The House on McKinley Lane" as in Boston, and while there is a McKinley Street in Phila., it's in the wrong area for my scenario purposes. I set mine on Washington Lane, in West Phil., but I thought "The Haunting of Hedge House", named for the original owner, had a better, alliterative sound. And then I thought "Watership Down", but went with it anyway. : ) K- |

Oh yes, the old homes at the upper end of Walnut, Chestnut etc. Streets were indeed magnificent. I used to travel that way to go to the Tower Theater. I haven't been up that way for a long time, I wonder what they look like now. |
