Re: The Man Who Wasn't There That would be a good plot. Leave it to the PCs to open up a door to let the demons come to earth.

Re: Hard sci-fi adventures? I recently bought an old issue of Dragon Magazine that still had articles on other games. This issue had an article for Top Secret that allowed agents to fly into space via the Space Shuttle.

Re: Ring around the moon. I remember the first time I saw one of those. I was just a kid then. It made one hell of an impression on me.

Re: My mostly hard sci-fi campaign I'm thinking of renaming many of the colonies, probably after the sites they are located in. I am thinking of better names for the space stations as well.

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel The Cabal This group of people meets in the hotel once a month to talk about a variety of topics ranging from UFOs to psychic abilities to the Apocalypse. They rent a room so that they may discuss such matters in privacy, but sometimes passers-by hear snippets of the conversation when someone gets excited or agitated. Do these people actually know something or are they just having a bit of fun?

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Eeeeewwww! Okay, I'll get my mind out of the gutter now!

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel How is my mother doing? A young woman carrying a bag of medicines approaches the front desk and asks the clerk if her mother is feeling better. The clerk is surprised and answers he didn't know the woman's mother was in the hotel. The young lady insists she and her mother checked in together, and her mother fell ill. She remembers the doctor who prescribed the medicines she bought. An inspection of the room shows no sign of the mother or any of her personal items; the only personal items in the room belong to the young woman. The registry shows that the young lady entered alone. If the doctor is summoned, he will deny ever having met the young lady or her mother. Note: This is supposed to be a true story; I forget the name of the book where it appeared. The young woman in question was eventually committed to an asylum.

Re: Jokes I love this Doctor! Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it.... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain... Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!" AND...... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSIONS Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
