You are a creature that lived, for less than a second, in the screaming, expanding, exploding nothingness of the big bang. You lived in a universe that was less than a meter across and you died. And something weirder than you made a deal, and now you're back and you can shape the slowly cooling and accreting spheres of matter to something that will welcome life and death or will you smother all existence in the cradle. Meanwhile something, some machine, tries to stop you

I would play a game of Promethean set in a Borders. It would explain why they shut them all down. It's actually Frankensteins, not a dying distribution model.

They're the ultimate survivors  My original plan was, the whole encounter was going to be a lot longer and involve the PCs needing to enlist the help of the ghosts and spirits of the American History museum to stop the shenanigans of this one wacky Thyrsus causing problems in Natural History. Imagine the weary murder-spirits of the guns of the Somme, or whatever horrifying entity lies waiting in Enola Gay over a Air&Space. I canned it when one of the players made a "night at the museum" joke though. DOCTOR ZIMBARDO fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Feb 23, 2015 |

FYI I'm stealing your cockroach/dinosaur hybrid idea. The only problem is that none of my players would ever be surprised by something like that showing up.

It's probably something that will happen in my supers game. They're about to face a master tactician said to be possessed by a primordial war spirit. I don't see why such a thing couldn't be a terrifying bug-o-saur ghost!

The opening fiction to Dark Eras seems pretty funny in that there's all these different factions trying to take down the bad guy, and then when the mage shows up, the guy is just "Yeah, we handled it, like, millenia ago once. Only took one of us. Our boss says we can't do it again though. But good luck and stuff!"

1600s Japan seems utterly played out, but that might be because of watching too much Anime. I could get behind it if it was Tokugawa Era Hunter since that would have tons of potential, but I can't really see the appeal of any other splat in that period. The post-war or pre-war periods of the Japan otoh, seem utterly magical in terms of some of their potential (also because of anime) The golden Age of Piracy is actually around the same time and could also be interesting if it wasn't so focused on the Pirate part of it and maybe more on some of the more important locales like North Africa or the Caribbean. Quite a few more splats would work in this setting though, though Werewolf has their own version in Vikings. Revolutionary America might be interesting as well, but it all depends on the splat tied to it. Wars of Scottish Independence sound relatively bland without more to sell it (also possible amounts of  ) and the Mutapa Empire is a complete curveball, but it could be great.

Kickstarter posted:Wanted to let everybody know that we'll be adding Reward Tiers tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th, at 3pm EST US that allow backers to pledge for expansions to existing chapters as well as other new Reward Tiers that allow backers to either pick a Dark Era chapter from one of the ones we've already put into polls, or to even suggest a new Dark Era and matching gameline subject to editorial approval.

I'm very curious as to how exactly the reward tiers would work. It might just throwing an extra bucket of money into the kickstarter to get '90s Home Depot Promethean written, or there could also be a chance to ask for certain setting/mechanical options to be included like alternate Changeling courts or Vampire bloodlines.

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:It was an ancient predator-spirit embodying the tyrant lizard king I'm actually doing something similar for this for my Hunter game, only it's an Earthbound from oDemon, specifically the fallen angel who designed Tyrannosaurs, and was worshipped as a Predator God for some time in history. Currently they are behind a shadowy media/industrial conglomerate in Boston, the most prominent part of which is T-rex Electrex. The Earthbound itself inhabits a fossilised skull, and has taken to using small stone-carved reconstructions as relays or temporary bodies when necessary.
