Quote from: AnthonyRoberson;640228I am working right now on a Lamentations of the Flame Princess campaign set during the English Civil War in a fantasy version of England I call Albion.

You do know that there's already an "Albion" LotFP campaign, right? I'm not saying its proprietary or anything, but just wondering...

Quote from: Settembrini;640438Is not! It is a bona fide germanic language with a doubled vocabulary for the posh words.
More truth in Eroll Flynn's Robin Hood than in your posts. That is quite something...

Its an Anglo-Norman Tongue.

I would run a campaign during the 100 Years War, set in France.

Another would be the War of 1812, with the PCs as English sailors having to choose to be in the US or Royal Navies.

You invented the word Albion?   :jaw-dropping:

How old are you?!

You know that's not what I meant!  I was just curious as to whether he was aware of a similar concept on this very site or not...

Perfide Albion... the Frogmen will have their revenge. One day.

An English Civil War:

"Pardon me, old man, would you mind if I shot at you?"
"Certainly not, if you don't mind my shooting you back."
"That sounds sporting!"

Black Death (1348) as End of the World using CoC.

Campaigns I have run:

Roman Britain (both sides, different campaigns):

The Roman PCs were Ventrue/Lasombra/Malkavian WoD Vampires in Octavian's campaign, target Anglesey (the Druid HQ).

The British PCs were Romano-British shortly after the Romans had pulled out for good. King Arthur stylee

The Crusades (campaign started in Britain). The youngest PC was one "Robert Lockhart", who was handy with a longbow. That lead neatly into:

Robin Hood

Elizabethan (the inspired Maelstrom paperback)

Occupied Britain 1941

Well, in the Albion campaign, they kind of already did; given that they took all the Anglish holdings on the continent except of Calais before the campaign even started.  They're on the rise right now in the campaign.  The human nations around there (Albion, the Principality of Lorraine, The Grand Duchy of Burgundy, the Canton Confederacy, the city-states and Pontifex-states of Arcadia, and the kingdoms of Iberia are all too disjointed and distrustful of one another to actually get organized and take the Frogmen down.

That was actually the one great ambition of the Kingmaker (Warwick); he sought to marry King Edward of York to a princess of Lorraine, who was also the niece of Philip of Burgundy, creating a triple alliance that would then go to war against the Frogmen together; but then Edward fucked it all up by marrying a lower noble (Elizabeth Woodville) in secret.  This broke any chance of alliance (as well as fucking up all of Albion by turning Warwick and the king against each other and reigniting the civil war).  Meanwhile Burgundy went to war alone, kicked the shit out of the Frogmen and got within sight of the Paris Swamp, but was pushed back and died soon after.  

His son Charles the Terrible is much less competent and got into a fight with his cousins in Lorraine; who were then opportunistically attacked by the Frogmen; Lorraine was only saved  because at the time it was full of very powerful and experienced Lancastrian Knights who fought for Lorraine in exchange for the Prince's support against their mutual enemies in the house of York.

Now the Kingmaker and both the Mad King and his son Prince Edward of Lancaster are dead, ending the Lancastrian threat (except for the minor house of Tudur, which is in exile on the continent with no real allies and everyone is fairly sure will be assassinated shortly), but any hope of a grand alliance against the Frogmen seems to have crumbled to dust.

Even so, there are rumblings about a young surviving son of the last Duke of Brittanie trying to raise up a rebellion in frogmen territory...

I'm boring. I'm all for the sort of Edwardian/Victorian Sun Never Sets sort of thing, though I'll be damned if I'll go through the work of looking up dates if I'm not GMing the fucking thing.

Steampunk optional. Spooky gribblies, optional.  I'd be happy to play it more or less straight (as straight as we can in our deconstructive post-modern era...).

Of course, I wouldn't perforce remain on the Isles themselves. Depends on how adverturesome going to Tea was, I suppose.
