I used to weigh the result before declaring PC death. If they were doing something stupid, it was curtains!

From Dusk Till Dawn is what happens when a Mexican Vampire director has enough money to afford a cast. No plot, passable special effects, just cast. Now the real reason I like FDTD is Salma Hayek <period> The sequels are the same, except there is no money for the cast -- and no Hayek either. But the...

District B13. Not sure about the plot, but the setting is definitely one you can use for an Uncontrolled Zone -- life on the edge. In the dark but near future, hostile dangerous areas are just walled off with no law inside. Not quite the prisons of the Escape from New York, but life is pretty cheap ...

I heartily endorse Kevin's effort. He is putting a quality cast out there. You get over 30 minutes of stuff.

Check it out.

Since the rounds are electrically fired, the next volley could be lined up right behind like plates in an old view camera. The frame that held the rounds drops to the ground or like belts, scatters. The metalstorm would make a good self-defense weapon, crowd control, or ambush. Here little darkling,...

This is fertile ground...a crisis that no one understands impacting shadow corporations (such as the secondary money market -- (the source of the crisis in RL) and impacting everyone, especially foreign investors.

Sorry for missing that. I cannot find my original submission to DC that had my notes with it (was it that long ago?) But if I recall correctly, the range of sinks is critical since they are quite powerful for most human empaths. The range would be fixed a EMP meters and not scaled like the Source. H...

Do you have any way to define the level of awareness of an organization of the dark conspiracy? I am sorry, but that takes Ultraviolet Security clearance. Attempting to seek information above your clearance level is treason. The punishment for treason is death. Zzzzzzt! -- The Computer But seriousl...

That's the thread Zvezda, but the post is missing AFAICT... Well, a vector to Rat #1, hmmmm...Let's call him Castor; his Rat King brother is Pollux.

Lost post on the Rat King

Just a redux on a post that vanished mysteriously (or I just cannot find it or I just pushed the wrong button) Topic was were-rats and super rats. I proposed two were-rats: 1. Living topside and drawing a comic book called the Rat King. This he uses to support himself TopSide. The stories are about ...

If we are going to have a new and better damage system, what will happen to the critters? There where plenty of creatures with sometimes absurdly low hit capacity (compared to an average human), how does the system change in regard to animals and monsters? Will the strange human NPC damage system c...

Skaven roughly equal to DC's super rats? A bit bigger though... Hehe! :D I was more thinking of the smelly nukids. Yep what you said about the players and stuff is totally right. More like the were-rats, but they do not use their human form. Having said that, I have a draft adventure about a colony...

...the aim is to persuade people to buy and play the game, any appearance of hitting the buyer in the pocket is going to militate against this. Yes this is a concern. But.
