As mentioned in another thread, I'm working on a new campaign with the hope that I can get my gaming group into DC. One of the long term players voiced the opinion that she wasn't keen on DC because "it's too much like Call of Cthulhu" (we recently finished a CoC campaign and are now in an...

Yes indeed. There's some discrepancies here and there so that while the formula from Infantry Weapons of the World works overall, there's enough outliers to cause some head scratching. It got to the point that I would search for videos of people actually shooting the firearm in question so that I co...

See, that's the thing, reducing the number of potential hits because of recoil exceeding the firer's ability to control it, makes sense. You can easily understand how that would happen - you're not strong enough to handle the recoil, thus you can't keep the weapon on target, thus you'll probably mis...

I'm rereading various DC books because I might have a good chance to get a campaign started with my gang of friends. My preference is to use DC III because it's had the benefit of many years worth of player experience with previous editions, to update and tweak the rules. So, recoil. Recoil has alwa...

There's various snake spirits and the obvious ones like the Bunyip and the Yowie and we've had our fair share of newer ones like Alien Big Cats but there's some little know ones from Aboriginal legend. Because the Aboriginal people here are not all one ethnic group due to them inhabiting Australia a...

I wasn't thinking in terms of the ezine charging for purchase when I made that comment, I had thought that perhaps there was some legal concern over paying people for the articles that were accepted and that there was maybe some conflict with FFE policy and thus DC was not included on the list due t...

Awesome news!
One question though, there isn't any listing for FFE or Dark Conspiracy so does that mean we can't write for either of those?
Edit: Or does that only apply for submission that qualify for remuneration?

As sad a reflection on modern society as it is, I have to say I agree with you. There seems to be huge number of people either mentally ill or desperate for some sort of validation/attention that they spout this nonsense to get people to listen to them. My favourite quote regarding conspiracy theori...

The "special" dice in particular is something that I have no love for. Apparently in one other Year Zero game, for any consumable supplies you have, you roll your gimmick die to determine if you have reduced your supply of said consumable. In the example I read, I think you start with one ...

While dredging through my various links for DarkCon and T2k, I started to explore some of the links for one site. The site author was (still is?) a member here and posted a few times. His website hosted a few links to useful gaming material that could be found at various places on the web. Anyway, t...

I understand entirely, that deluxe edition has been calling to me all day... "Buy me, buy me, you know you want to..." There's still 21 days to go but I'm not sure if I can resist the urge to get it. I'll admit I'm being a bit of a victim of marketing, the metal box is pretty nifty and I w...

Well the kickstarter for the newest edition of Twilight: 2000 has opened and by now it's pretty obvious... runaway success is an entirely appropriate label. As of my last check about one minute ago it was as follows: - Au$133,713 pledged of a goal of Au$15,992 Backers - 1299 Days left - 22 As much a...

While on the same general track, I've been considering another angle to the Greater Depression although not about how or why it happens. For some insight into how people make use of older tech (in DarkCon terms, retro-tech), I've been watching videos of Cuban society and how they have created a sort...

Nice! Great to hear that Dark Times will continue. I have a bit of a soft spot for fanzines and gaming magazines made by fans so it's always a bit sad to see them come to an end. With a fourth edition of Dark Conspiracy still on the cards, a fanzine that supports it is very desirable in my opinion. ...

This is fascinating although it's probably still got some way to go before we see commuters using it to get to work! However the possibilities of this rig in modern games is wide open. It appears to be a backpack and manoeuvring hand-units with a main thrust unit in the pack with two jets in each ha...
