Current Campaign...

Victorian Fantasy. (Okay, it's not the most original name, but it's what we're using.) Steampunk and occult heroes in an alternate 1890s where magic works. The heroes have survived fairies, a cult reviving Balor of the Evil Eye (Celtic Death God), and an unexpected and thankfully short visit to that charming little timeline...Gotha-10. The current adventure has taken the heroes...

...to France, where they learned that the nightmarishly powerful and maniacal necromancer Oliver Brookfield, who is also the uncle of one of the player characters, and who everyone thought was dead, is actually alive and seeking something from someone called Chantico...

...to Wales, where the dragon Rhagfyr told them that Chantico might be a Mexican dragon, or something else of a Mesoamerican nature, something extremely powerful and evil and dangerous...

...to Mexico, where impromptu sacrifices of several horses appeased Chantico, who appears to definitely be something a lot worse than just a dragon with a bad temper, so she did not kill them (although she may have done something unpleasant to their souls), but sent them on a quest...

...to Canada, where three of the six player characters died fighting the Wendigo, Chantico's ancient enemy...

...and back to America, where, while they were on their way to New York to take the dirigible back to London, Miss Vivien Brookfield, player character and niece of the evil necromancer, was kidnapped! Although Oliver Brookfield is unlikely to kill her (he is actually quite fond of his niece, in his obsessed and maniacal way), he wants her to join forces with him, and who knows what unspeakable outrages might be practiced on her mind or (gasp!) her person in order to gain her acquiescence!?

Meanwhile, the Sky Fiend, an evil techno-genius with a rocket plane, plots his next crime against civilization. If the heroes can stop Brookfield, they may be asked to bring him to justice. But can he be stopped before more innocents are killed and before more precious monuments are destroyed!?
