Go to your local bookstore or Amazon.com and take a look at: The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks (Three Rivers Press; 2003) includes the following: "Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack 1. Organize before they rise! 2. They feel no fear, why sho...

A few more I thought of that might be suggestive to GMs (for adventures or campaigns): Song of Kali by Dan Simmons The Art of Arrow Cutting by Stephen Dedman (this one may be of use for those wishing to run a BTS/N&SS-hybrid) Dark Ladies by Fritz Leiber any of the Repairman Jack books by F. Paul...

Excellent book. Read it last year and enjoyed it thoroughly. If you like your humor exceedingly dark and cynical, then Lullaby will reward you quite handsomely. Palahniuk's style is fairly distinctive and may take some readers a while to get used to, but it's a quick moving story and easy to lose tr...

They even had one set in victorian london with giant rats and a chinese sorcerer . Used a lot of the plots in my BTS games Darkspring Ah, "The Talons of Weng-Chiang". Classic. Tom Baker's stint as the Doctor was the best of em all. And overall, it was a pretty dark and often creepy 10-year segment ...

Good movie, but not Lovecraftian

It is in a way, but it isn't. It was inspired by Lovecraft, but your right.

Not to pick nits or anything, but "Lair of the White Worm" was based on a story by Bram Stoker, who was around a few years before Lovecraft made it onto the scene. . .

I tend to run episodic campaigns. Ones that have a scenario that takes between one and three sessions to complete, but can have a thread--an ongoing storyline--to connect the individual scenarios. I will go off in another direction for a session or two, run an adventure completely unrelated to the o...

And a little something I did as a joke for Basemonger and my "Palladium 1942" project. A comic book you can see on nearly any newsstand on the Palladium world during their second world war. The "Hoknar" cover is pretty clever. Though, if I may: the title treatment/logo doesn't quite capture the fee...

Also, could the insect/spider/what-have-you lay eggs and have its offspring remain behind if it returns from whence it came (assuming it has sufficient time to do such a thing)? Would someone that is bitten and injected with poison have said poison remain in his/her body after the spider has gone? I...

Didn't ever think I'd see you on this board CZ. How's work going? Really? Hmmmm. . . I was posting to the PF board first and almost exclusively for a year, year-and-a-half. Then things got relatively uninteresting and I drifted to the BtS board. Actually, things are pretty uninteresting all over th...

(I don't think any of these fine authors would, in a million years, write something like novels based on an RPG, but a fella can dream, no?)

As well as my own version of the Island of Dr *brain fart* (the one where the mutant animals were. That doctor. Starts with a M.) Moreau. The Island of Doctor Moreau is a novel by H.G. Wells. Boy, was that guy ahead of his time--the novel was written in 1896. I think, in the novel, the good doctor ...
