Horror on the Orient Express

[miguel1984]

I just learnt that In a City of Bells and Towers, one of the scenarios of the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game campaign Horror on the Orient Express (1991), was directly inspired by The Journal of J.P. Drapeau. Ligotti is even credited in the cover.

I vaguely remembered a discussion about this in the early days of TLO. There are a couple of copies on eBay. The one starting at $50. I never played CoC. I did play early microgames like Melee, Death Test, Ogre, Sticks and Stones, etc. All led to Chainmail by Gary Gygax and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I might still have the boxed set I bought off the shelves of the hobby shop in the late 70s. I was fortunate as a kid. My neighborhood friends, who were 4 years older than me, introduced me to RPGs very early when I was in elementary school. I played until middle school and then quit. Later, a group of high school friends took it up. I started playing again for a while, but we usually ended up getting drunk. It was fun.
