TOPIC: Wolfenstrahd: Afrika Corpse Discussion

Hello Players, and thank you for signing up. This will be the discussion thread for Afrika Corpse and any continuation of this 'spin-off' campaign. I hope you are all looking forward to this as much as I am (writing this was a genuine joy).

Game begins 25/06/2026. Characters begin at Seasoned rank (so +3 Novice advances and +1 Seasoned advance).

This game is inspired by The Mummy (1999), and other pulp stories from the same era. Think brash, over-the-top characters and action. The game is set in the year 1940. Your characters are members of an elite/secret taskforce dispatched by the Vatican to troubleshoot supernatural problems around the world. On this occasion, you are heading to Egypt.

Please give some thought to the kind of characters you want to play. Pretty much any race/ancestry is available, here are some suggestions to get the creative juices flowing: fishman (probably not great in the desert, but could be fun), angel, lizardman/dinosaur guy, elementals, goblins, golems, graveborn (sunlight sensitivity coud be a problem), half-giants, infernals, insectoids, minotaurs, mummy, patchwork monster, revenant, were-creature, or vanilla human.
If you have something else in mind, I'm sure we can create a suitable template using the race/ancestry creation rules in the core rulebook.

I am told Morgan is interested in a Jeckyll & Hide inspired character who shifts between human and monstrous forms. In this case, you could create two Novice characters (one or each 'form') and then distribute your advances between the two as you see fit. We would need to discuss the mechanics of switching between them, as I think it would be more interesting if that is limited in some way.

I am told Ted is interested in playing a Sean Connery inspired human spy, which should be easy enough to do. As a vanilla human working alongside monsters, I will give you an extra benny every session to help keep you alive.

Could Rich & Laua please let me know what kind of character they would like to play.
If you need help building your character, I am happy to help.
We may/may not have a fifth player depending on what other games are posted for R4. I have told them I will make space if there are no other games they could feasibly join, but I will not be going any higher than 5 players.
