Sourcebook: Weimar Berlin & German
Does anyone know if there's any good sourcebooks for Wiemar Berlin, and Wiemar Germany in general. System isn't important, so long as it's decently usable regardless of system--good locales for adventure, magic, intrigue, and perhaps a bit of time or cross time travel--or an encounter with Cthulhu.
Thanks |

Re: Sourcebook: Weimar Berlin & German
Berlin - The Wicked City for Call of Cthulhu is a recent book with good review, but I don't have it yet, so I cannot tell you more.
https://www.chaosium.com/berlin-the-...ity-hardcover/ For atmosphere, the TV show Babylon Berlin is spot on. |

Re: Sourcebook: Weimar Berlin & German
No source books, but a few classics:
"Emil and the Detectives", by Erich Kästner. Yes, it is a novel for children. Written in the 1920s, it pulls the reader right into the streets of TL 6 Berlin. "People on Sunday" ("Menschen am Sonntag") is a silent movie from 1930 that shows every-day life of common people. One can find trailers and clips on Youtube. "Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis" , a documentary from 1927. The complete film can be found on Youtube.

For non-gaming books -- Larson's In the Garden of Beasts on 1933 Germany and Boyd's Travelers in the Third Reich on tourism in the 30s are both fascinating. |

You couldn't DO justice to Wiemar Berlin without adult themes. Unless I see any reason not to get it, I thik it's getting added to my collection. THANKS! |

Also, Timeghost's "Weimar's Golden Era"may be of interest.
