Re: Inspirational Movies and TV for Dark Conspiracy

I don't mind admitting that I enjoyed The Adjustment Bureau more than I was expecting to. Definitely worth a look 8)

Re: A Podcast - I must be mad

Literally everyone who has given me advice has said the same thing - the hard part is to start talking! Having met in person you know I'm naturally a little quiet, but even I've managed it now 8) Seriously, if you have a mic and something to record into just crack on with it - I would be happy to in...

Re: A Podcast - I must be mad

Just had a listen to what you've cast so far and I was thinking, maybe your first official episode could explain what lead you up to deciding to do a podcast e.g. your particular interests in the topics for the podcast, the steps taken to getting a podcast organised, the reason for the name. Maybe ...

Re: A reason for Dark Conspiracy's retro-tech?

Reminds me of a similar topic we covered during one of the many discussions on the Facebook group - the real reason for the retro style of cars in DC was actually so that you could drive something that wasn't full of technology such as engine management systems that could be hacked relatively easily...

Re: Background colour for the game... and a whole lot of potatoes

A minor part of the background for DCIII included this kind of independent growing. Window boxes, rooftop plots and guerilla gardening all yielding produce with any surplus traded at the street market which was a location we had in mind as a place for scenarios to begin - the DC equivalent of the D&...

Re: Old adventure seeds & scenarios

I still have a bunch of stuff from various DC Webring sites that I saved off back in the day. There's some home-brew stuff and some monster conversions from other systems including a load from TORG. As for Thing on the Bike Path, I ran that once for my old Saturday group and I also swapped the Thing...

Re: Old adventure seeds & scenarios

Hmm, reading back my previous post it seems a bit smart-arsey although thankfully it wasn't taken that way - I'm not clever enough for smartarsery! :roll: Regarding Mike LaB's works I seem to recall that Geoff Skellams wasn't a fan of his style, and his monster-creating habit was a topic of convers...

Re: Old adventure seeds & scenarios

Seems the good doctor was fond of writing scenarios and then adapting them to other games. A number of the DC scenarios look to be his CoC scenarios ported over for the GDW rules. If memory serves, I believe he wrote them as Challenge submissions for DC and when GDW went south he compiled them into...

Re: Old adventure seeds & scenarios

In the emails between Lee and I last night, I mentioned to him that I've been on a bit of a kick this week to try and compile and archive all the DC material I can find on the net. With the demise of various websites over the years and the situation with DCIII and now DC4 I have developed something...
