Clonus Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sailor Moon is a Harsh Mistress: In the 40th century, once a world-saving superheroine, after re-establishing the Moon Kingdom, the immortal Neo-Queen Serenity appears to have gone mad. The Moon Kingdom dominates Earth with the threat of it's mass-driver which can destroy any city on the planet below. They extract tribute and forbid any attempts to develop space flight. The PCs are rebels out to defeat this tyranny and give humanity the stars. Trex-Files: The Federation Bureau of Investigation handles cases that cross planetary jurisdictions or which exceed the resources of local police agencies so that they need to ask for help. But when certain cases seem just too implausibly weird or just plain trivial to warrant serious investigation they hand them off to an underfunded and understaffed office used as a dumping ground for misfits...

BobGreenwade Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Re: Fusions that aren't actually all that nightmarish During the WDYWTS discussion for CCC I mentioned a crime lab, and someone else (I forget who) related it as CSI: Millennium City. Steve integrated the crime lab into Angelstone Laboratories, and apparently took the CSI suggestion to heart when he wrote the paragraph headed Angelstone Investigators on page 16 of CCC.

Curufea Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Re: Fusions that aren't actually all that nightmarish Sounds like Brian Lumley to me - the bloke able to turn a horror genre into pulp action. 1984 Equilibrium in the Matrix of the Ultraviolet Wanted.

Shinitra Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Re: Fusions that aren't actually all that nightmarish Indiana Jones & the Call of Cthulhu I've actually played in a "Pulp-thulhu" game and it's a lot of fun. Still danger and sanity loss, but you're just a little more likely to survive past the first gaming session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that even at the time there was a glaring disconnect between Major Nelson's allowed behavior towards Jeannie and what every male in America was thinking. I didn't know about sex back then, but even I could tell that Tony was often being arbitrarily unkind to Jeannie. Of course, I hadn't learned the phrase "Because the script says so" (nor the network censor, neither). Edit: ISTR looking in National Geographic Magazine and seeing, in the front, advertisements for beach resorts with pictures of girls wearing bikinis but without navels (I later learned they had been airbrushed out). After the ads, many of the articles featured loads of pictures of "primitive people" who, just about all, had navels. I'm not condemning poor Tony Nelson, but commenting on the schizophrenic attitude that simultaneously lauded "swingers" but carefully hid any reference to what was swinging.

The times produced even worse examples. The central relationship of Bewitched was borderline abusive, with a tyrannical husband trying to supress everything his wife was for his own convenience. It was only his utter failure at that task that made it humorous instead of horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruiting the young upstarts into the their fold, the Legacy gets a strong lesson in just what it means to battle the supernatural.

Two men with the same mission: defeat crime and defend the innocent. Once their methods were seperate ... now, under the direction of FLAG, they are partners against the modern criminal.

Clonus Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Fusions that aren't actually all that nightmarish Trekwars: Turns out the Bajoran wormhole went somewhere else, the Lesser Magellanic Cloud to be precise, ruled by a gigantic empire who eagerly took the opportunity for expansion. In some ways they were less technologically advanced but they made up for it with the sheer resources of an empire which controls an entire galaxy (if a rather small one), allowing them to build fleets of ten times as many ships, each over ten times as large as those of the Federation. Hit and run tactics using the Federation's ability to quickly move in and out of subspace allowed the comparatively tiny Federation vessels to inflict disportionate casualties on the foe but still they are losing. And then a new enemy weapon appears, a mobile station hundreds of miles across. The only hope for the beleagered Federation is a single cloaked scout ship that slipped across the wormhole. If it can somehow make contact with the domestic enemies of the Empire, get them to rise up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
