Rods are in the d20 Modern Menace Manual. As to the skinwalker, maybe give it some sort of speed-boosting ability? I'm sure you were thinking of the Navajo ones, and there were a few sightings of them in the 1970s, or at least of things called skinwalkers -- some sort of canine humanoid...

First is naturally a link to my website, while the second is a quote from Horror Express in which Peter Cushing makes known his displeasure at the suggestion he or Christopher Lee could be playing host to the alien monster.

The links section of my website has a ton (or, since we're speaking London, a tonne? ;)) of links. Too many to mention here. Go to the "Dire Connexions" section below for good stuff. Also, the "Images of a Lost City" section has some photographs of various buildings. Oh, and Highgate...

"Yes," the Mon Calamari says, "Yes, a sound plan. I think some reconnaissance would be best. I will attempt to do this. I can also check out this other temple if possible. Harm two soldiers with one shot, is that the expression you humans use?"

"No tricks. Not all of us pirates are lying thieves, after all. Just most," Skimmer says as the group assembles in a small room lined with wooden crates. "In fact, as a gesture of trustworthiness, I'll travel with you. This passage isn't too long." True to his word, within only a few...

The young, silent man stands on his raft and begins to ferry the others upstream. True to form, he remains mute during the trip. In a few minutes, the raft draws unto a stilted building in the middle of the river, resembling the play-forts sometimes built by children. He still says nothing...

The approaching van slows to a near-crawl and finally stops. For a moment, nothing happens. Then the sliding door at the back comes open. Three black-clad skinhead gang members emerge, and one gets out of the driver's side door. The three that emerged from the back carry black steel...

William runs towards the black man, hefting his new-found walking stick menacingly. He flinches slightly at the sound of Jack's gun -- even after time at war, you're still never fully used to hearing a gun go off near your head -- and lashes out at the man, hoping to land a solid blow on him.

After a brief bit of discussion, it is determined that Trevor and Dr. Hewitt will take one side of the fair to question, Longtree and Diggory the other. After about twenty minutes or so, the two groups reconvene near the surgeon's wagon. "We've got nothing," Diggory says of the fruits of the...

It is, isn't it? Looks like just about all the errors came from things I forgot to switch around when copying the constrictor snake out of the SRD and doing my modifications. I'll change those right away.

"I'm certain you're right, Baron," Longtree says, "about Harrington being gone, I mean. Or at any rate, I certainly hope you are. But, and I think Diggory here might agree, we have to be cautious. Perhaps we should stick together for now." Give me a two Gather Information checks, one for the...

The Ankh-Morpork guy refer to Pratchett? Never... :p

This guy's based on actual folklore from around here, Gettysburg to be specific. Yes, Devil's Den was supposedly called that even before the battle. I don't know about the Indian names, but I used a Lenape dictionary, and I imagine the Indians around here were similar to Lenapes. Once again...

That, and in the Simon Magus stories most of the most powerful sorcerers are Persian as well. And unless my memory fails me, the name "Shupnikkurat" (really, Cthulhu fans, tell me who this is, cause I just can't figure it out ;)) comes directly out of those stories. And I gotta love any book...

Skimmer nods and leads you into the streets once more. He leads you past the imposing structure of the Overlord's fortress, and to the shadow of the city walls. He runs his hands along the wall and eventually finds a secret door, which he casts open. After passing through the portal, you find...

The grey-cloaked visitor looks at Gorgamesh with the red-rimmed eyes of one who hasn't slept in days and shakes his head quickly. He points back along the sluggish river towards a structure of some sort. Though you can't tell what it is, you presume that it may be his house. He motions for...

Alex thinks on the name "Bear Flag Republic". He recalls hearing of them back at the Bureau, but can't place it exactly. Unless... yes! he remembers an older agent, Geoffrey Pressler, speaking of them once. They're one of the survivalist groups so common to the Northwest, Santiago thinks he...

So I got my hands on a copy of Cthulhu Invictus the other day, a Chaosium published monograph (basically a low-print run, low-production sourcebook), which places Cthulhu in the days of the Roman Empire, following up on the stories of Simon Magus (in the Chaosium anthology Scroll of Thoth). And...

I imagine so. The blurb about D20 Past on Wizards' site says about Victorian horror, IIRC. The star doppelganger in the Menace Manual was pretty Cthulhuvian, and the blood fiend/jumping jack in the same book is a Victorian-era iconic monster (Springheel Jack, dontcha know). As to other...

Hoody-hoo! XP! ;)
