I've posted more details here - http://darkconspiracytherpg.info/forums/viewtopic.php?t=72 Feel free to post your thoughts. questions or suggestions here in this thread. Marcus Marcus, I'm no sound engineer either but I thought the "vocal" was a bit faint in the opening stages. Has to rea...

Just watched Pleasantville on the TV. Occurs to me that the eponymous town would make a good protodimension. Maybe the PCs could visit for a light hearted change of pace instead of the usual monster hunting. Alternatively, given Pleasantville's susceptibility to change, a Darkling incursion could tu...

I have never heared about repo man. It's a low budget film from the mid 1980s with Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton, plus a load of character actors who'll seem familiar from other movies. It's a strange hybrid of science fiction and a slice of life film. Plenty of info on it at the imdb. Has ...

That might just be my impression of the game, however, and I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on the style and structure of your own game play. I've always been keen in setting my games in real life locations, ideally ones that I'm familiar with. I find a realistic setting helps make the other world...

Don't think it's been mentioned before, but how about Repo Man? It's got a fair few DC elements: Aliens, Men in Black, Cyborgs (Agent Rogerz), UFO Cultists and gritty street life. Also gives the nod to Film Noir with its Kiss Me Deadly style McGuffin in the back of the car.

Needless to say I didn't think it up for myself.

Where I work we're periodically sent briefings in pdf format, telling us what the organisation is up to. They're usually a complete yawn, but I think the basic idea might suit TGC: A short A4 format leaflet saying what's happening with DC, future plans etc.

How about Escape From New York? The following elements seemed characteristic of DC: 1. Shunting social undesirables off into their own ghetto (admittedly more extreme than in DC world). 2. The war and energy crisis in the background. They seem like the kind of events that could occur in the DC timel...

I rather like the original version, with its Chandleresque voice over, even if nobody else does (including the director and star).

I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Nightstalker series yet (old or new)? I caught an episode of the new series this past friday(?) and it wasnt too bad. Neat idea. I've seen the two films starring Darren McGavin. Enjoyed them both. Saw a couple of episodes of the TV series many years ago. Was...

Antenna, the way you played it sounds like what I had in mind. A no less threatening force, just toally different in tatics and goals. I'm not in favour of the Order vs Chaos idea as I think it's been done to death by Michael Moorcock, Dungeons and Dragons and even Babylon 5. What does occur to me ...

Does anyone remember the Skinless Ones from "Dusted" by Dan Snuffin (from Challenge 71). For those who don't they were humanoid in appearance and, you won't be surprised to learn, completely devoid of skin. Their flesh was composed of red jelly in which it was possible to discern their int...

Children of Men looks a bit DC:

I've got to admit I'm not keen on the idea. It sounds a bit like the "War in Heaven" concept introduced into the Cthulhu mythos by August Derleth. Having a band of supernatural opponents to the Dark Ones for me dilutes some of the horror of the PCs being on their own against the encroachin...
