Weird question (and I’m just testing the waters on a subject that hasn’t been adressed so far)…How would people fell about a period piece Monthly Game?
Why do the countries change along with the Era?
1930’s NZ or UK, Victorian India or Medieval China.

1980’s NZ? You’ve got to be kidding! Some of us had to live through that

Your right, I just put the things that jumped to my mind…I think 1930’s I think chicago and san fran…
Also wanted to avoid medieval or rome as they have been done before… (although victorian england has to with “london by gas light”)
But colonial india would be a blast. Lets see if I can add to the poll
Ah bugger accidently reset the poll. Sorry.
What is WOD?
World of Darkness; Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, Hunter, Promethean (did I miss any?)

Of the main ones… only Geist
I can’t tell you how much more interested a period setting makes me in a World of Darkness game.
How about a campaign that spans several eras, starting with a set of events sometime long ago like a medieval/Viking period, then moving forward to some events in colonial times, then ending with events set in the modern day.
Given that you’re dealing with immortal characters, it seems a natural way of expressing the time-depth of their lives. It would also enable some players to sign up for just a few of the events, set in the era that they prefer (perhaps even playing mortals), and others to try to have their immortal characters survive over the whole multi-era campaign.
Only if they’re doing vampire. A lot of the others aren’t immortal.
It’s an interesting idea. Given werewolves can have ancestral memories, and well mages are… magic, etc It could be interesting to play Vamps through the ages and have the others play descendants.
Could be an interesting scenario
Yuh, so you have the choice of playing an immortal character across multiple eras, or playing a mortal character in a single era. When that era ends you could then create a mortal or immortal character for the next era.
That would also nicely express the strange nostalgia of still feeling the loss of friends who died centuries ago.
Love it.

Would do
Unless your characters all have supernatural disguise abilities, they might have trouble passing themselves off as locals in all those eras.
I have to assume it was “here’s a more exhaustive list of periods we could work with” rather than “let’s do all these in one game.” Especially given how much overlap there is in there.

Pretty sure I checked then so that while there is overlap they all have a unique time period
