| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I think this depends on the group.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I guess what I am saying, to pull back is this... The whole point of Ravenloft is that you are effectively in a constant striuggle with the classic Christian devil. And to run the game for the right effect the GM must whoelheartedly adopt that man | jeffpk | Aug 11, 2009 |
| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - Hmm. I would say that if it lead to silliness, your doing it wrong. What it SHOULD lead to is fall from grace and character death.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - Sure. That happens. But its not a stylistic choice but rather the total failure of the artist to reach the style they were attempting.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I guess that is true. Still when I think of camp, I don't usually think Rocky Horror ( I think Cult). I usually think horror movies that were trying to be scary, but made me laugh. This is the sense I was using. Br | Brendan | Aug 11, 2009 |

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - true enough. But the Catholics have held onto more of the trappings that apply then modern day Protestants. Ergo my Catholic school comment. The protestants who still have the imagery and pageantry by and large have abandoned the theology | jeffpk | Aug 11, 2009 |
| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I think def. two is the more commonly used one. Normally the idea behind camp is that its unintentional.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - Gothic Literature is more of a protestant form than a Catholic one (Catholics feature prominently in Catholic literature but usually as objects of ridicule). But I think you can pull off Gothic Horror without relying on Christian themes. | Brendan | Aug 11, 2009 |
| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - Camp doesn't mean not serious. In fact it often happens when the writer takes and his genre too seriously.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I don't know Castle Otranto. But neither Mary Shelley's work nor Bram Stoker's I would consider in any way camp. They have BEEN camped in later takes on them. But as written they are very very serious in the style of the times. | jeffpk | Aug 11, 2009 |
| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - I don't know, Frankenstein, Dracula and Castle Otranto are all pretty campy. Heavy on the melodrama too. But they work because they are self contained. The campiness in Ravenloft comes from encountering every Gothic trope in the course of a campaign. | Brendan | Aug 11, 2009 |
| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - To me they are BOTH camp. Its just a question of whether its Buffy-camp or Angel-camp ;) True gothic horror on the other hand is very much a product of Victorian morality.

| Re: [rpfgb] Looking for gamers / games - Or to be less flippant... sure you can.... but thst NOT what Gothic Horror is about Its anyrthing BUT camp. Running Ravenloft camp is a lot like running a "Sidekicks and C level heroes" game with Champions. | jeffpk | Aug 11, 2009 |
