Majus - Appendix N (Personal)

[mkotschi]

Even though it's not released yet, I'm really looking forward to the Majus.

Perhaps its the modern setting, and how it taps into urban fantasy.
As I am an imaginative american who lives in suburbia, I find that highly compelling.

While reading the Kickstarter preview and various posts by Michael Curtis
about influences, including Hellblazer, Cast a Deadly Spell, Clive Barker, Millennium,
Harry Dresden, Carnacki the Ghost Finder, The Maltese Falcon The Big Sleep
and Blue Oyster Cult.

And as much as I like each of those things, I find myself driven to define the Majus universe
for my own campaign.

To that end here is the beginning of my own Appendix N for Majus.

BOOKS
Keel, John - The Mothman Prophecies; et al.
Leiber, Fritz - Our Lady of Darkness.
Marlowe, Scott - The Cryptid Creatures of Florida.
Mitchell, Stephen - Gilgamesh.
Stroud, Jonathan - Bartimaeus Trilogy, The Ring of Solomon.
Zimmerman, Fritz - The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley.

FILM/TV
Deep Red, Suspiria, Inferno, The Mother of Tears.
Millennium (TV show with Lance Henriksen)

MUSIC
Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatale to the Flesh, Gateways to Annihilation, Heretic

Other Game Stuff
Hite, Ken

In addition I've found the characteritics of Film Noir and Neo Noir in particular to be very helpful
in finding sources.

Id really like to see a few modern day scenarios. Even a pbp game here, for inspiration. This kind of rpg is new to me.

I have a few thoughts towards an Appendix N of my own, I will post them later.

As for Blood axe's request for a PBP, I might be able to provide.
