Re: Another GDW line gets revived

I think this is going to be one for the collectors and nostalgia gamers, military RPGs are too niche to be big sellers and the original versions of Twilight: 2000 were released at the right time in history to resonate with potential buyers. I agree, I think this one is going to be quite a niche gam...

Gumshoe Community Content

I'm overjoyed to see that Pelgrane has opened up a few of their 'lesser' properties to a Community Content licence via Drivethrurpg. This includes Ashen Stars, Fear Itself, and - of most interest to me - The Esoterrorists. For me The Esoterrorists is a great setting and idea, and I enjoy it more tha...

Re: Let's Write a Dark Conspiracy adventure...

Hi all here are my suggestions, feel free to modify and muck about with as you please: Sorry, I've not been around for a few days (work and a bit of travel). These sound really good Linden, I prefer the ETs as the badguys behind the Toxic Mother (which I think is a great Darkling to use and fits wi...

Re: Interview With a Marcus...

Just started listening to this and a point is raised about the colour pages within the main DarkCon book whereupon Marcus replies that he thinks that they were included because GDW were a bit flush with cash at that point in time. He's absolutely correct about them having the money to spend, GDW ha...

I was thinking that as a group we could break things down into the intial overarching aspects - Location - Where is the scenario set Style - Sandbox, Locked Box, Investigative, Action, etc. Antagonist - Who is behind the sto...

Re: Inspirational Movies and TV for Dark Conspiracy

I see this is coming out soon - The Vast of Night - Looks an interesting take on the UFO phenomena. Has to better than the very disappointing Project Blue Book TV series

The trailer on YouTube is is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQvP7YHsx80

Re: OFFICIAL DC4 ANNOUNCEMENT

His website address is as follows and while he announced that his files have been restored, he's waiting on a password so he can access the files again, so there might be a little delay before the site is re-activated (and who knows, he may even move over to another service provider but I'll post t...

Re: Say What! This forum is how old?

At the moment the only cost is time, so its not too bad. However, at the moment it seems that us 4 are the only contributors. I think that Facebook had definitely take over this type of social forum. Personally I find it shallow and repetitive, where nothing more than clicking 'like' or venting impo...

Re: Say What! This forum is how old?

OMG... its the same age as my eldest son *shakes head*... Interesting how the world has change - forums like this are a bit 'old school' now. I would like to move to something a little more 'low maintenance', but to be honest, as I've found out, I'm a little stuck with phpbb for the a while yet. I m...

Re: [Games That Shaped Me] Part One - Dark Conspiracy

I think Zvezda is on record somewhere in the mists of time on this forum saying he liked it as well - whatever happened to him, does anyone know? It always worried me that Zvezda disappeared as he did - I know he lived in the Ukraine and he vanished around the time all the unrest with Russia occurr...

I'd heard of it, but like you I'm not a fan of OSR style games - except for fantasy...

Do shout if it's any good (especially as Cthulhu was my topic of the day :P)
