[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7749574, member: 6873517"] A while back a friend of mine was getting set to run a Dark Tower game using nWoD rules. I played a version of Gil MacDonald who'd gotten lost in time again and ended up back in our world (or some semblance of it). He was living out of his car in New Orleans, hoping to get back to Coramonde and hold onto the fringes of his sanity in the meantime. One of the other PCs was a Vietnamese boat people refugee who was part of the Vietnamese community in New Orleans, although he got sucked into the Dark Tower world at a different time. The third PC was also a Vietnam vet, but he'd been a mechanic and hated his time in the service, unlike Gil, who was clearly a natural soldier. That character had been working as a roady and things happened to him in New Orleans as well. So the party all had the Vietnam War and New Orleans in common. The game didn't last that long due to RL intruding, but it was one of the best things I ever participated in. Another Brian Daley novel, [I]A Tapestry of Magics[/I], always struck me as a ready-made RPG setting with amazing possibilities to have characters from tons of different backgrounds show up. Sadly Brian Daley died very young, in the mid '90s. He'd had a long career as a writer but mostly was doing work for hire not under his own name. He also did a lot of work in the Star Wars universe, including the radio adaptations. For those of you wondering who we're babbling about, here's a link to the Wikipedia page: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Daley[/url] [/QUOTE]
