HoL isn't really a RPG. Its a joke played on those that play RPGs... and I own it and the supplement... :)

While it sits on my shelf, I refuse to open it again...

I've got that one as well... :)

Where is this place? It might be worth a road trip... like a pilgrimage to suck... Sorry, but I just can't get past the sheer insanity that is Synnibarr. A game the tells the GM (or "Fate") that they *have* to play the game as written... fruit loop city... The best review of the game...

Does anyone else collect Bad RPGs? I mean just to own the stinking pile of dung? My collection (from memory): World of Synnibarr Spawn of Fashan Senzar ReichStar I'm only counting RPGs that actually saw print. Anyone else?

I hated Werewolf. It was the only game in that line I ever bought. It was also the first RPG I ever sold. Monte Cook's World of Darkness is good though. I really hated Castles & Crusades. I thought, "Cool, that old 1E style!". After reading it I thought, "Now that I dwell on it, 3.5 is far...

There are also the books, -Arsenal- and -Factory- from Perpetrated Press. -Factory- in particular has some great magical robot design rules.

Dragonstar.

But a vampire doesn't need to kill a blood donor. A brain donor though is toast. Someone suggested the Sustenance Psionic Power.

Mind Flayers are carnivores that primarily consume humanoid brains. The dread "brain extraction" attack. Does anyone know if they can survive on non-humanoid brains, such as animals? Essentially a "vegetarian" Mind Flayer. I am just wondering what a good aligned Mind Flayer would do to survive...

I guess my willingness to disbelieve is a lot lower than most folks. The things you mention do in fact bug me to no end. I see it as sloppy craftsmanship. Your mileage may vary.

Make it an advanced nanite colony and I might just buy it... Though the idea of a dog flying over my head makes pigeon poo seem a small deal...

If it matters, I don't feel that I am under a personal attack. I was however expressing my opinion. Which you are more than welcome to disagree with. Have two people ever agreed on a film?

It isn't a rejection of SF. I used to love SF novels and I am still a fan of SF films. A virus isn't an SF trope. It is a part and parcel of the real world. As for my education on the topic. Nothing formal. But I have read a dozen or so books on the subject. On the structure of the virus, the...

A fantasy version of a virus is magic. Just call it magic and avoid the confusion. If you call something a dog, it shouldn't have wings and fly. A virus should behave like a virus. Magic can do anything it darn well pleases.

I think all those dollar signs hide the elephants in Hollywood...

Monitor: The Story of the Legendary Civil War Ironclad and The Man Whose Invention Changed the Course of History by James T. Dekay

Not true. I am an avid movie fan. I just want movies that make sense. If you want to make a fantasy movie, make a fantasy movie. If you invoke actual, real world elements such as a virus, it should behave like an actual, real world virus. If movies such as -I Am Legend-, -28 Days Later- or...

If you base a story line in the real world, I want it to behave like things do in the real world. While zombies are fantasy, a virus is not. I expect a virus to function like they do in the real world. Base the story line in D&D or Star Wars and i will be much less picky. Put it in my backyard...
