#56 A squidgun. By this I mean a land squid with a gun. By land squid I mean like squid you find in the oceans, but on land. And my oceans, I mean the deepest of deep ocean trenches. So, I mean a Kraken. A Kraken that has been chased out of his deep watery home by the Lord of the Deep, and is very, ...

Is a called shot imposes a +4 difficultly (need an 8 to hit), costs 2 actions, and is an all or nothing proposition (a missed called shot is a straight up miss).

This prevents players from abusing the called shot.

Good house rule.

First, watch a few heist movies. If you haven't watch the Oceans 11 movies, or Ronin (love that movie). Or wind the clock back a couple decades, another old fave is The Great Train Robbery, along with The Brain (1969). And obviously the The Italian Job (original is best, but the newer one will obvio...

Facebook is providing the discussion space for a lot of companies these days anyway. Forums may be a dying breed as far as the internet goes.

Looks to be a quiet internet future for me, I don't touch the social networks.

Wow, that's a fairly hefty call. I haven't used their forums in years, though I'm sure there's a ton of complaints.

Shipping bites. I wanted to buy a paperback novel a while ago from the US. Think the book was about $15 or so, but they wanted $96 USD to ship to Australia!! Yeah, that's not a realistic quote, that's either someone trying to gouge on shipping or an automated system that's poorly set up. I can ship...

The map on that site does zoom in and out. Otherwise it would be pointless.

CyCo

Hmm, that's odd. I'm sure they used to indicate the areas that should be more zombie infested by varying the 'red tone' over the map. Now I don't know. I didn't even go to the site to get the link, I just typed it in from memory.

Dead Reign can work as a regular campaign surprisingly well. The trick is to run it as an open sandbox where the characters are traveling cross country for some goal, such as seeking out a rumored safe area. Of course the safe area should be half way across the country and who knows if it still exi...

PS LOVED the boldness of sinking half the continent!! More stuff like that! That's actually how Australia looked centuries ago. A large part of the center of Australia was a shallow inland sea. And there are portions of it that are still below sea level. There's a point on the coast line, think it'...

05. You find a old, faded Polaroid photo. In the photo you see two people who seem to be playing Twister. But they seem to be nude. But it's hard to tell as the photo is very faded, they just could be wearing nude body stockings. Written on the back are the words "Oh what memories!" and is...

There was never a manuscript for Australia 2, or for that matter book 3. There was just one huge manuscript. It went way over the maximum page count for the submission, but in phone calls to Kev, Kev told Ben to keep writing, as he was totally enthused about what Ben was coming up with. And also the...

Not quite the same, but once, many many moons ago, I ran a D&D Basic campaign one on one, and they ended up shipwrecked on the Isle of Dread. They had lost most of their gear, and were still fairly low level (think maybe 3rd to 5th maybe), so they were very careful about not being seen or attrac...

I think you could look at it as what category the skill has been chosen. If it's a secondary skill, them maybe not add the extra damage. If it's chosen as a OCC or OCC related skill, then add it. I did fencing for a while. I'd say that while I was good, I treated it as just a hobby. I wouldn't award...

First thing to do is find out if your players are happy to play pre-gen characters at all. Some gamers like to be involved from the ground floor of their character design, others will be up to the challenge. If they don't like the idea of pre-gen characters, then your idea dies here. Secondly, make ...

I do it way too complicated That's what she said! 8p I haven't played any PB game in ages, so how we did character gen is a bit... foggy. Last game was Systems Failure, so just normal people. I think like some here, we added in an extra d6, dropped the lowest. As for Rifts or other PB systems with ...

There were a couple different bats in Mutants of the Yucatan, Disc-Winged Bat, False Vampire Bat, Fisherman Bat, and Vampire Bat. There is a bat in the After the Bomb RPG, but you could use the ones from Yucatan as ideas to make different species rather than the generic bat given in the book. Mutant...

I ran a game years ago where I had the party run into a group of alien 'greys'. I think I had them as mutant hominids, but vastly de-evolved (for further bio-e), and they had the ectoplasmic hands (can't remember if they had the legs), which were a permanent enhancement (having no normal arms).

I have those zombies (if you're talking about the ones from the Zombies!!! board game).

Measuring one of those zombies...

I'm not really sure. But here's the thing that struck me when the both of you said Blood Read for Dead Reign. I think a dark burnt red would be more appropriate. Like the colour of dried blood.
