Small enough for a Tomahawk, small enough for an unmanned aircraft. One that loiters above vision that can optically track human-sized targets, engage them and Fried, fried, fried.

Tomahawk would only be needed for sophisticated air defense suppression.

Outpost, more or less the official DC movie (a bunch of ex-special forces hunt nazi-monsters in a war zone) It's good inspiration for Cold City as well... I like the nazi occultism reference in Charles Stross' Atrocity Archives . There nazi occultists (Ahnenerbe) moved to a duplicate dimension of e...

Any opinions on MONSTERS (set in Mexico)? Mixed feelings. Good execution, bad writing/acting It is a good example of a demonground. In this case caused by "something" brought back by a NASA probe (IIRC). Likes: -The burned out Abrams and downed F22s where the invading fauna won. -Not real...

Glad to assist where I can!

I would work it like this: For "live" viewers over CCVT or other means, it should work just like Lee explains: their minds clouded by the darkling-projected image. The concept of locality being sacrificed by the act of observing within some tolerance of syncronicity (but it's kinda technic...

Chrome! Nice touch!!

Classic. Great DC flick if you ignore the sorcerous implications. It has one of my all-time favorite quotes.

Would this forum also be the place to post new technical developments, like flying cars and such? Short answer is yes. Marcus' guidance is to ensure that any links provided by members are descriptive and not too cryptic. Something like the Area Denial System? Microwave for fun and pain. Sure. If it...

In the Stackpole novels, there was a fledgling Dark Lord that had captured and modified one character into a lovely, but tragic, beauty. Even with good intentions, powerful beings can perform cruel acts. Also compare to the classical Greek myth. Dark Lords each and every one. Mike Marchi did some wo...

Well I haven' really talked to the new rules very much. The weapon ratings are nott going to change, but damage is proba bly going to be based on an open ended dice roll. That means that in some cases a 9mm will kill outright. But thewound system still favors PCs and it should. In DC3 PCs are bona f...

The skills themselves are compatible with the older systems, including 1ed and T2K. The problem would be that the total numbers of skill points per term is less for legacy systems. The new military careers only use the Armed services (Army, Navy, etc.) to screen for entrance requirements and to limi...

In the new edition, National Service has been the norm for several years. Who gets drafted? Not the proles off the grid. Neither do the Nomes. So if your character is a mike social class, you have to have extraordinary reasons for not taking a military career - like being a draft dodger or a psychic...

I think I mentioned on the movies thread that even a cursory viewing of Scanners indicates that it was a major influence on empathic powers in Dark Conspiracy... In first edition I once worked up a complete empath. Took only careers that boosted EMP. The best I could do would only yield a Stage 3 s...

I don't think that's actually true (he said, trying to keep the Darklings from investigating his brain!) , but what is definitely true is that Norm and I do have a tendency to understand each other's gaming ideas and expand on them. We are very much on the same wavelength as regards the DC world, a...
