Re: What's a 2,000 year old zombie eat? In every form of the zombie story I have ever encountered, the zombies attempt to eat the living. Whether the entire body, or merely the brains, is the target, zombies eat. If you wish to say zombies do not NEED to eat, fine. But eat they do. Unless you are referring to a variant zombie of your own creation...

Re: Taverns and tavern games Or Hyena Chase, or any of a number of other "chase and/or be chased" games. Quite an interesting product.

Re: Heart Shot I had not heard of that. One place I have heard about the right way to deal with vampires can be found at http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/37/whats-the-best-way-to-kill-a-vampire That, though, is more "how to kill them off permanently" than "how to hurt them in a battle". Indeed, putting a stake through a vampire's lung is likely to do no more than give her pneumonia.

Re: Mid 70's Equipment I saw one in use circa 1977. Perhaps "began replacing" is too strong. "Showed they could replace" might be better. IAE, they are available.

Re: Mid 70's Equipment I'm not sure what you're looking for: only human-portable objects? Only weapons? In any event, here are a few bits and pieces; portable equipment, methods of transportation, new technology, and junk, culled from some printed sources I own. Almost all are brand new in the five years 1970-1974. If you cannot use them directly, they still will give you a sense of the times. CB radios. (This needs to be checked; I'm depending on memory for this one) Muscle cars and bellbottoms. The Concorde SST (SuperSonic Transport) Soft contact lenses Major increase in mag-lev trains BART Oil tankers of 350,000 "ton" capacity and beyond. FedEx. Polaroid's "develop right then and there" color camera The World Trade Center was opened in 1972. The Transamerica building in San Fransisco and the Sears Tower in Chicago are from about the same time. ATMs became popular The UPC came into use. Airbus started to challenge Boeing's dominence, with the A300B The CAT scan was invented The Heimlich manuever was introduced Word processors with CRTs began replacing typewriters BTW: The patent on polyester ran out in 1970. Artificial fibers really took off afterwards. The only countering trend was the major increase in production and use of cotton denim, mostly blue. Note also that satellite phones, and ham radio equipment, though not new, were available.

Re: Altered Autofire

Re: Altered Autofire

Re: Altered Autofire An interesting idea. We have built some extremely high ROF weapons as AoE, Line. These, BTW, are emplacement weapons. The problem, of course, is dealing with a human-portable weapon, which can be switched between autofire and single shot (and, in some cases, bursts in the 2-4 round range). A Multipower seems like a solution, until the question of tracking rounds fired is considered. Does anyone have suggestion for solving the above problem? Boosted charges doesn't (as far as I can see) address this.
