So I'm discovering...Volume 2 has been quite entertaining.

Oh yeah. I got them Friday, finished volume one Monday. Excellent stuff. Absolutely love the characters.

Wulf, man, you're trying to teach an old dog new tricks here! I kinda feel like Neo from the matrix :) But I'll try. If we go back to The Thing for a minute, one of the things that really sticks out in my mind from the movie is the harsh environment. That was as much of a factor as the creature...

I may not have made myself clear in my earlier post... The initial investigation is separate from and leads to Tunguska. One idea is that the cause of Tunguska is taken from the station to the detonation site. The party follows the clues there, perhaps engages some mooks in a chase scene, and...

Huh. Well how about that. I always have created the villain first, and then worked from there depending on what was within his capabilities. Let's give it a try. Since Tunguska is in, that narrows our timeframe down to 1908. The only problem I see here is the age of certain LXG characters...

Ok, for review, these are the plot elements we have so far: Martians, not necessarily as the main antagonists, but still relevant and a concern to the LXG. Recovered alien technology, canisters of antimatter or some such that could cause damage on a massive scale. Tunguska, this is just...

Damn you! Thanks to you I'm now wearing my coffee!! To make a short story long, I run 2 campaigns concurrently with the same group. One is a Dark*Matter/CoC/Shadow Chasers hybrid, the other is something along the lines of a Quantum Leap style demon slayers d&d game. In short, the Dark*Matter...

My D&D group is about to find themselves transported east coast of the U.S. for a time. I've never run a crossover game like this before, and would like some input from players and GMs who have experienced either playing a standard d&d character in a modern setting (not to be confused with an...

You gotta love the shamless plug! I can't wait to fit SoC into my gaming schedule. It's so different from anything I've run my group through that I think it's really going to blow them away. Now that I've hijacked my own thread...

Sounds good, that's what we'll stick with. The Tunguska event occured in 1908, but it's close enough that we can use it if we choose to. LXG, no question. I like The Thing idea, but I want to do LXG. I wouldn't mind incorporating that remote artic station though. That's just creepy. Maybe...

This is a great framework for a story, but I don't see how I could do it justice in a four hour one-shot. I'm going to run my regular group through this LXG adventure as well as during the con (why not get maximum return on your investment, right?), so I might develop it into a multi-session...

I'm glad you mentioned that. I've always been fascinated with the Tunguska Event. For those of you not familiar with it, you can find more info on it here. You could start with an investigation of the area and then lead out from there. Or... The Tunguska Event could have been caused by alien...

or... Scientists at the top of their respective fields have been disappearing around the Old World. The LXG investigate only to discover that the brains of the poor geniuses have all been removed and connected to a TRS-80. For what purpose? Global domination of course.

Thanks everyone for the ideas so far! Agreed. Perhaps sample 'Thing' material has already been captured and taken to a less isolated area..say somewhere in eastern Europe. Maybe some mad scientist type is experimenting with different genetic strings taken from the creature to create a perfect...

Any and all suggestions are welcome! We've already decided on theme...The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but that's about as far as I've gotten at this point. I like Wulf's idea...the disappearance of Nikola Tesla and little green men from outer space. I also wouldn't mind doing something...

You got yourself a deal! We can use this thread if you want. I just ordered LXG vol 1&2 from my local book store. You know, purely for research purposes...

Wulf, Running a LXG style game is a brilliant idea. Unfortunately I have no real experience with the setting beyond watching the movie :) I'm particularly interested in the "The Shocking Disappearance of Nikola Tesla" bit. If you have any old adventure notes or the like that you wouldn't mind...

In my area (Jacksonville, Fl), Grim Tales doesn't seem to be to popular. In fact, when I ordered it from my FLGS, the owner, a good friend of mine, hadn't heard of it. So, to spread the word of this great ruleset, I've decided to run a Grim Tales adventure when during the local con. I haven't...

Could you point me in the direction of a good one? I've tried sitting her down on the side, but it's hard to keep her focused. Once we start gaming, she drifts back into cutsey halfling mode, which doesn't work when she is trying to play a gruff fighter. I think if I could focus her attention...

I second that.
