A couple of years ago I started buying LotFP products, fell in love with them, and wanted to run with them. I told some friends about a game I wanted to run, started a Meetup group to round out the group, and ended up with six terrific players. The game is set in 17th Century Europe. Not only is there Thirty Wars War raging, but there is a interplanetary war of many worlds being fought across Europe as well. (My thinking is: How do I create a setting where I can use all the modules I love? Alternate worlds and gods battling it out on earth!) So the Duvan’Ku temple from Death Frost Doom is in the Alps. Sorcerers from Carcosa has been sending agents and spies to our world in order to take it over (to have access to more human sacrifices). And there is an otherworldly explorer they have tracked down has has the means of traveling to alternate earths with more adventures (Qelong, Castle Gargantua, and Isle of the Unknown, among others.) We been playing as a group now for about a year -- with about six months of play under our belts. (We taken breaks for other people to run games as well, including Cyberpunk 2020 and Unknown Armies 3rd edition, as well as holiday breaks.) I've got a blog where I recap sessions as well as talk about RPG tools and stuff in general (as well as many posts about Classic Traveller). In the most recent sessions: Confronted by a magical tower full wall-to-wall with zombies, my players pulled out a magical item they'd found months ago in The God That Crawls and ended up with a ship that can sail between alternate earths... So, that happened.

I love your AP reports, they're very insightful in how to use the various modules. I'd like to start a LotFP campaign set in either 17th Century France or a fictional very low fantasy world, with only unique monsters and a very gritty tone, but I don't know how to set up something like that without it ending up boring (for the latter) or horribly misinformed (for the former, as I suck at history).
