[QUOTE="rogue_richard, post: 3724046, member: 50886"] [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] was four years in the making, and was at three different publishers. When James and I formed [B]Rogue Games[/B], [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] was the one game that was far enough along release. At the time, no one was dealing with the Colonies. [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] is set during the American Revolution. We took a more historical approach, and this is evident with the use of the occult and supernatural. When designing the game, we made the horror fit the view of the Colonists. This is not a alternate history or fantasy. [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] is cinematic in nature. The [B]12 Degrees[/B] rules allow for a more over the top style. If you have seen the movie [i]Brotherhood of the Wolf[/i], [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] is similar to this (without the martial arts). Movies like [i]The Patriot[/i] and [i]Last of the Mohican's[/i] are possible as well. [B]Colonial Gothic[/B] is about war. There is the war that is currently engulfing the colonies (The American Revolution) and there is a secret war that has been in the shadows sense the dawn of time. As a Hero, you are fighting this secret war. Both games might be set in the same region, but both games are different in tone and scope. I hope that helps. Richard [/QUOTE]
