<sigh> and 3 in the AM on Monday for those of us in the Great Southern Land. :( Two and a half hours after that and I'll be getting out of bed to go to work! That's what I get for choosing to live at the bottom of the world :lol: So while I can't be there, I hope everything goes as well as it did wi...

Well that's the best thing about a conspiracy, nobody knows exactly who is involved or what they're doing! Darklings controlling key financial institutions in a co-ordinated, world-wide plot to bring the majority of people to the brink of poverty and thus causing greater fear, worry & suffering ...

I do think it will be worth seeing the new rules that 93 Games has created for Twilight: 2013. They've said that they are very focused on character interaction and not just combat. However, all the material I have seen so far from 93 Games indicates that equipment & weapons play on their minds a...

Hehehe, I know what you mean about being a completist. I own every 1st edition DC item that I'm aware of and the same is true for the Twilight 1st & 2nd Ed. stuff including all the Challenge magazines published by GDW. I own the 2nd Ed. DC Player's & Referee's manuals in their basic versions...

Yes I've seen it. 93 Games have been working on a 3rd edition of Twilight: 2000 for a number of years now and although I am very interested in seeing it (and will probably buy it regardless), I wasn't very encouraged by the comments of some of the developers. One of them regarded 'old time' Twilight...

Hi Rune, Seeing how I was online to follow up your post about the G11 rifle, I'm jumping in here (sorry Lee!) I bought the Stackpole novels and enjoyed them although Stackpole's DC world isn't quite the same as the world I imagined from the game books. That doesn't mean they aren't worth reading tho...

Hey Rune, that's actually very interesting for me. One of my main interests is equipment of the Cold War era and with so many projects being started but never completed or with some equipment having very limited use, it's sometimes difficult to get a complete picture. So for me, any extra informatio...

At my job, I have the dubious honour of being the Safety Officer. While I was searching through some catalogues from various safety equipment suppliers I found this item. TIMEbadge - Self Expiring Security Badges The basic security badge consists of a self adhesive FrontPart and a BackPart impregnat...

Saw this site while looking for info about livestock ships and thought it may be if general interest, especially if you're looking for something more futuristic in appearance. However, by far the most interesting aspect is that the company offers various designs of "matched speed" ships. A...

http://www.isegoria.net/2008/07/toy-rocket-inspires-variable-speed.htm Gives details on how a toy rocket, powered by hydrogen, has become the inspiration for potentially a new generation of firearms that would allow the user to switch between high velocity, lethal projectiles and lower velocity, les...

While I really like The Morrow Project RPG http://www.timelineltd.com/webstore/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=28 I was never really happy with the way they resolved their independence from petroleum fuels. The use of a 'sci-fi' fusion powerplant to power vehicles and their underground she...

So I'm just randomly surfing the net for weird stuff to inspire a Dark Conspiracy game or two and I find references to the Black Knight. I haven't yet found any hard information but the following links will hopefully give you a few ideas for DC material. The statment that started it all off... From ...

Now because magazines are sent to Australia by ship, we generally get them a month after everyone else, however, if any of you can get a copy of the latest Popular Science magazine (July 2008), I think it's worth your while. Here's a sample of some of the items/articles: - What's New section: Short ...

At this point in time in the real world, personal armour for legs and arms is available but it's still quite bulky and a bit inflexible. You see a number of vehicle gunners in Iraq wearing the arm sections for protection against fragments etc. but it is very much one generation or even two generatio...

Don't be surprised that some of it's rated as Level III or better. The newer ballistic fibres along with new methods of treating them are increasing the ability of personal armour. The Biosteel that we mentioned in an earlier thread is available, just waiting for mass production, an Israeli company ...
