Looking for some feedback, and hoping that the literary nerds here could lend a hand. I’m going to run a game based on authors living in 1910 hunting supernatural creatures. Each author will have a class assigned to them for the players to choose from. What do you think of my pairings? Are their any authors I would kick myself for missing? And if this were a TV show what would you call it?
Mark Twain – The Wronged (An old man seeking revenge for the loss of his team)
H. P. Lovecraft – The Expert (Like Giles in Buffy, someone who knows about spooky stuff)
Victor Appleton – The Mundane (An ordinary guy who knows how to deal with the ordinary world
Langston Hughes – The Divine (A man in conflict with his religion, but who gains power from it none the less)
Daschiel Hammett – The Crooked (A kid with criminal skills)
H. G. Wells – The Chosen (Like Buffy in Buffy, a man given power to battle by destiny)
Agatha Christie – The Professional (Someone with an array of combat skills)
Katherine Ann Porter – The Flake (A conspiracy theorist who sees the secret world)
Zitkala-Sa – The Initiate (A woman well connected with the resources of a shadowy organization)
Beatrix Potter – The Spooky (A woman with strange psychic powers from a dark origin)
Dorothy Parker – The Spell Slinger (Much like Harry Dresden, a wizard of some skill)
Virginia Woolf – The Monsterous (A werewolf who works for our side)
