st barbara Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Eating Polar Bear can be tricky. Don't eat the liver ! (It has been suggested that eating polar bear liver is what killed members of the Nobile expedition after their airship crashed ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Secret German World War II Base Rediscovered Near North Pole Go to it, folks! I see my take on this being something more in the Strange Tales/Weird Fiction pulp style. The real story has all sorts of interesting lead-ins. A base called "Treasure Hunter." A polar bear (according to Wikipedia, the polar bears on Alexandra Land are genetically distinct from other polar bears). Trichinosis. A captain going mad and having to be restrained for his journey back to the Fatherland. Google Maps shows an interesting undersea topography nearby. Wikipedia lists a peak called Kupol Lunny (Dome of the Moon) as a prime geographical feature. The Soviets set up a northern outpost there and a plane crashed in 1996 while landing on the airstrip. There is just a lot of potential for pulp or even backstory to a Dark Champions game. I am way intrigued. Murky, unrealized story bits are floating around the ol' noggin. If I can coalesce them into something substantial, this might be a neat adventure idea. Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Blood from human teens rejuvenates body and brains of old mice Nothing direct for pulpy adventure here, but ... Smart mice + mad scientist + "Willard" ... you might be able to use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothere Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 An indonisan island volcano is threatening to erupt. Possible world altering effects considered. Everyone within miles of the sacred land evacuated during night hours, only permited to return during the day to care for animals. No report on preparation for virgin sacrifice.

Cancer Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quote A round of equity financing involving eight anonymous sources has pulled in $2 million for [real-world company name redacted] which develops tools for evaluating cognitive disorders. The company has not disclosed how it intends to use the proceeds. What are they looking for? "Cognitive disorders" is such a delightful neutral label. Mutant superintelligence? Paranormal psionics? The Chosen One? And who are the "eight anonymous sources" spending the big bucks, and what are they after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
