A Touching Animal Story
 
A man was on holiday in Kenya. While he was walking through the bush, he came across an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed so the man approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot There was a large thorn deeply embedded in the bottom of the foot. As carefully and as gently as he
could he removed the thorn and the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him.
 
For a good ten minutes the man stood frozen -- thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.
 
For years after, the man remembered the elephant and the events of that day.
 
One day the man was walking through the zoo with his son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to where they are standing at the rail. It stared at him and the man couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. After a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued to stare at him. The man summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing, killing him.
 
Probably wasn't the same elephant.

I watched the first disk of the D&D cartoon. It was awesome to feel like a kid again.

Actually, let me make part of this easy. Here are all of my V&V to Hero (5th ed) conversions in one convenient zip file located on my Google Drive.
 
Enjoy.

Yes, I'm almost serious. Some of you may know Bruce McCall, an artist who appeared in many many magazines over the last 40 or so years. He makes some wonderfully whimsical pieces and I thought I'd share a few with you. Specifically, these would be of tremendous aid to anyone doing a Pulp/Anime style of game with large monstrous ridiculous vehicles.
 
I'll put each pic/description in it's own post, as otherwise, this will be one long sucker, and if it hoses halfway through, I don't want to have to retype it all again.
 
Okay, away we go.
 
The Caproni-Maroni C2 "Scud", sometimes called "The Instant Reversing Fighter" was a design anomaly. The sleek pusher/puller prop design was fast and strangely manueverable with the addition of the centerline ailerons. But its main claim to fame was the ability to reverse thrust at a moments notice (comparitively) and zoom off in another direction entirely. The designers did not wish to ruin the lines of their creation with any unsightly guns, so this unique ability proved more useful than might be thought.
 

Re: Pulp Hero: The animated series aircraft artwork
 

Which is fair, and I agree actually. I just have a knee jerk reaction to the "Look at the weapons that could have WON THE WAR!!" when most of them wouldn't have worked. If the push me/pull me in two directions concept bothers anyone, make the thing like the DO-335, a push me/pull me in the same direction type of plane. Then it's just faster than pretty much anything else until the late 40's, and stable as all get out (theoretically) since the engines turning in opposing directions would counter each other's torque.
 
I preserved the original intent of McCall on the descriptions for the most part, though I edited the criticism of the Italian Military out of it.
 
Seriously though, you want to give a germany a shot at winning WW2? Then in 1938 when Admiral Raeder asks if he should make a surface fleet or a submarine fleet, have Hitler say submarine, and then watch how things turn out when Germany has roughly 200 EXTRA submarines at the start of the war, as opposed to the 57 they had...
 
One little decision that might have allowed things like wolfpacking the miracle at Dunkirk.

Re: Page one of the V&V Conversions is up!
 
Update: None to the page as yet, but I joined the Circle of Heroes so that might increase traffic a bit.
 
I'm moving on the 9th of July, so hopefully after all the chaos settles a bit, I'll get back to the mad world of converting. On the plus side, I have been finding old stuff as I pack, gotten a few gifts from generous board members and downloaded a bit from drivethrurpg. Currently on the "blocks" as it were, are "This Empress Earth", "Enter the Dragon's Claw: Honor", "Opponents Unlimited" (The rest of it), "Terror by Night".
 
I'd also like to heartily thank Redmenace, Alwyn 13 and Superskrull for all of their aid in tracking down material. And Superskrull, TBN arrived in excellent condition, thanks again.

A big thanks to Jeff Dee for giving me a provisional go ahead on this, and make sure to visit some of the links on the title page as they are worth it for the trip down memory lane.
 
Okay, the first page is up, my take on a modern version of the Crusaders is now available for purview.
