Our hobby attracts a particular group of people to it. Role-playing games seem to draw GMs and players who are often incredible storytellers in their own right. Somewhere along the line, I speculated on what kinds of characters various great authors would have played if the RPG had existed during their, time, and this is the result of that line of thought. I have tried to create groups from authors who would all have been alive at the same time. It is often important to keep in mind how old the players would have been at the time of these sessions. I hope you will find my interpretation of these authors and the characters I think they might have played amusing.
The Storyteller is Samuel Taylor Coleridge (age 48), who is a Cultist of Ecstasy
Christabel Alphea, a soft-spoken and seemingly innocent Verbena. is played by Fanny Brawne (age 18), who is Cultist of
Ecstasy.
Clara Byron, a young Etherite searching for revenge for her mother's murderer, is played by Mary Shelly (age 22), who is
a Dreamspeaker.
Draw Pasid, a bold and adventurous Cultist of Ecstasy, is played by William Blake (age 63), who is a Dreamspeaker.
Homer Psyche, a Euthanatos who kills as his slain Avatar/lover directs him, is played by John Keats (age 25), who is a Hermetic Mage
Walter Smollett became a Celestial Chorister after his parents' death Awakened him, and is played by Nathaniel Hawthorne
(age 16), who is a Verbena
Allan Masters is a wealthy Hermetic Mage and professional vampire hunter who is played by Edgar Allan Poe (age 11), who
is a Euthanatos
NEWS: Episode 24 is up. In unrelated news, I ran the first session of my tabletop Legendary game, tonight. It was lots of fun. Now I just have to make it frickin' awesome.
