Makiaveli

Good deal sent a request to join. Not sure if it will have my real name or what, but my email address has Makiaveli in it if that helps. I can PM you my RN if needs be, but as a rule I am fairly conservative about passing it around

Wow, just wow. I stumbled across your website a while back, and one computer crash later, lost the bookmark. I was wanting to see how it turned out and I am really glad I found this thread. Site is bookmarked (and backed up on my new external drive thank you very much) and I will peruse it more in the near future. I had some ideas for characters and if any gel and I have time to write them I will happily toss them in the mix Basically I wound up daydreaming ideas while wishing I had a group like this these days. Piece of advice, don't get older, married and have children.

Re: Embers of the Reich Not sure where you are going with this. You say the Allies are running around trying to collect the tech, then you talk of the PC's "eluding" the Allies....so are the PCs the good guys are not?

Re: Urban Fantasy Setting: Here There Be Monsters Well that sucks. And I fully understand the lack of time so no worries there. I will keep checking back as it sounds like a awesome resource. **EDIT** I really gotta start reading the links before answering the posts Good to hear you are getting things back up and I'm crossing my fingers for you on the thumbdrive issue. I had the same problem a while back and I guess I got lucky as nothing bad happened. Made darn sure to use the pw wiping feature on my new one

Re: Urban Fantasy Setting: Here There Be Monsters I read the first couple pages and decided to hit the main site to look around as this sounds like an awesome resource. Unfortunately the link in the OP is dead as well as the killershrike.com link. Is there an alternate link? Thanks **edit** killershrike.com has a small box that says the page is unavailable, not a 404 type error. Google has a cache from April 8th so I take it the issue is a very recent one.... All the sub pages say there is a error in the "/" application. Just FYI....

Re: Concerning a not-that-cosmic VPP This was my first thought as well. I guess you could whip up some randomizing chart for when you didn't take advantage of it to help/hinder the PCs for plot reasons.

Re: Harbinger of Justice Ahh ok. Way rusty on the rules and details after all these years in exile.

Re: Harbinger of Justice Couple things I am wondering about... 1. Doesn't HoJ have some kind of autofire trick that he can use? 2. Does Dr. D have any Accessible defensive foci that could be removed once he was stunned making the followup shots more powerful? Not arguing here, just curious

Re: Rocksalt... You're welcome For the humor impaired: That was a joke....since Black Ops said he did it since I couldn't...get it? No? Then sorry I can't help you.

Re: Dresden Files meets Supernatural

Re: Dresden Files meets Supernatural I was focusing more on how the GM would use it and the effects, both in and out of game, it would have rather than the mechanics. I do like the idea of the "evolved" wizard tho...

Re: Campaign Idea . . . almost. I too was thinking along the lines of plumbing/construction but the Pest Control would work best I think. My reasoning is same as the others above, it covers them moving around to new places around the city/county, old and new buildings, etc. The evacuation excuse is a bonus. And like someone mentioned, rats are the cause of alot of hauntings, so many plot hooks there. The problem I see with a bar or Stop-N-Rob (conv. store) is that you have to stay put and wait for trouble to come to you and then go hunt it etc. The OP said that the PCs didn't want to look for trouble, it just found them. Now that's no reason they can't hang at a bar that has troubles, think Cheers with issues or make friends with a store clerk (they have to go somewhere when they get the late night munchies), ie they stop in and stock up on snacks on the way to a job and maybe he drops some hints on a job for them. Unfortunately for them, he really is a certified Freak Magnet....

Re: Dresden Files meets Supernatural If it comes up too often, then it will annoy you as well as the PCs. I mean from a standpoint of stopping whatever is happening, combat or RP, and rolling to see if the gadget in question works or not. I would say it's a GM thing, not a die roll thing. Especially since the lower tech stuff is less effected than high tech. IE, an old rotary phone is almost reliable, but a Blackberry is almost always toast. I come at this from the point that is seems more like a plot device than something to slap the wizard around with.

Re: Rocksalt... I guess that answers that question Thanks for the link and I would rep you if I could but for now you will have to settle for an Attaboy!!

Re: Tokyo Scientists Find That Humans Glow Just for the record, there are many different species of fireflies and some use it for mating, others for hunting (as in they are predators looking for other insects to eat) and at least one combines the two as it mimics other varieties of fireflies light patterns to attract would-be mates for dinner And I know this because my son, who is 5, is fascinated by them and we did some research on teh intarwebz together
