Bear in mind that Weird New World, even though it is relatively small as adventures go, it covers a lot of ground... let me rephrase that a LOT of ground.

If you're playing an earth-centric game, I placed a number of the locations of adventures on a map here that might help:
http://www.lotfp.com/RPG/discussion/top … eal-world/

To me, for LotFP, there is James' comment which indicates that alignment essentially reflects a characters ties to supernatural forces of one kind or another, "In the real world, every human being that has ever existed has been Neutral."

My "one-line" versions:
Lawful means you get your power from a sense of structure, manifested by mortal minds as gods granting powers.
Chaotic means you are connected to the maelstrom that is the entropic universe and pull energy from the fabric of the universe.

Now it gets a little odd to have anybody NOT a cleric, elf or MU as anything but Neutral, but maybe it just means that they are "touched" by one of those forces and thus have a connection (manifested by the effects of certain spells) but no real capability to access those forces.

Probably... Here's another thread on the same topic: http://www.lotfp.com/RPG/discussion/top … ormerlost/

This looks pretty neat, but to me it seems more like an encounter or a trap than a monster. This may be what people want, but I still would like to see monsters with stats and interesting combat effects.

I think maybe this will tell you how: https://sites.google.com/site/gmapstips … en-my-maps

Here are the pregens. I hope I don't offend posting them here, as I find Lotfp is just as much about the feel and the setting as the rules!

Many of the notes and their abilities relate to images of them that have appeared in numerous LotFP publications. I'm using Solomon Kane (sans Guts) with a little Horror Companion thrown in for good measure.

Personal Details: Alice is a former King's Musketeer. She was well on her way to becoming one of the King's trusted guard until it was discovered that she was not actually a man (having gone by Alex). She was asked to return her gear but snuck out in the middle of the night. Shortly after, she joined up with the Flame Princess and has been adventuring with her ever since. Their sense of loyalty to each other doesn't stop them from butting heads over the direction their adventures should take.

Personal Details: The Flame Princess (the only name she has ever revealed) is clearly of royalty despite her attempts to "dress down" for travel. No one knows why she gave up the life of the rich, although her one leg is not the reason; a misadventure involving a cave and acidic slime was responsible for that! Shortly after, she teamed up with Alice the Musketeer and fairly recently Melissa the Sorcerer to continue adventuring. The main difficulty is that she and Alice are often at odds as to where to go and what to do.

Personal Details: Melissa is a well-traveled woman who picked up a bit of sorcery (along with an opium addiction) in her travels to the Orient in her father's caravan. She was aimlessly drifting around Europe when she met Alice and the Flame Princess. Melissa provides a much needed voice of reason when Alice and the Flame Princess get in one of their legendary arguing matches, or when researching potential adventuring sites.

I'm also throwing a classic from the old days of the Warrior comic:

Name: Father Shandor, demon stalker
Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d6, Spirit d8, Strength d6, Vigor d6
Skills: Fighting d6, Healing d6, Intimidation d8+2, Knowledge: Occult d8, Notice d6, Stealth d6, Taunt d6+2
Pace: 6, Parry: 5, Toughness: 6(1), Charisma: 0
Languages: Demonic, English, Gaelic, Latin
Gear: Flail d6 (Str+d6), Leather Suit (+1)

Hindrances:
•Cursed: Never get beneficial blessings from AB:Miracles
•Enemy (Major: Demons): Someone is out to kill you
•Loyal: Will never leave a man behind

Edges:
•Arcane Resistance: +2 on resistance rolls; 2 points Armor
•Brave: +2 to Fear tests
•Danger Sense: Notice roll at -2 to sense an imminent surprise
•Relentless: Success on recovery from Shaken gets 1 action
•Strong Willed: +2 Intimidate and Taunt; +2 vs. Tests of Will

Personal Details: Father Shandor was a Benedictine monk who realized the best way to fight the demonic forces at work in the world was to meet them head on. He traveled to Hell itself and was somewhat successful until he was "exorcised" from Hell. This made him relatively unable to live in the world at large, killing any living thing from earth that he touched. This debilitating aspect of his exorcism has since subsided, but he is still "not of this earth," yet not of the netherworld either, manifesting in him being resistant to both good and evil magic.

I would have though adventure #8, written by a descendent of the mysterious Joop van Ooms would have been an adventure that no one would talk about.

I think I can specify a different color for home-brew locations, unless you were thinking that existing adventures would fit best in Maryland.

I added a probable location for WNW. It is **HUGE**

I can add you as an editor if you like

They had reason to explore the areas in DFD, so they didn't have incentive to leave. (In fact the old Gypsy even gave them something to help them on their way, after the obligatory warning of course)
