Dark*Matter The Killing Jar

[TomServo]

I think that's an Alternity multiplier, but I'm not sure. And since the secondary cnidocyte is a template, depending on the base creature, it could very well get multiple attacks. As far as the tentacles go, I just assumed those were essentially it's "sensory organs." Plus, with that nasty disease it causes, it just didn't need anything more.

I don't know...sensory organ doesn't sound too nice either. A modifier makes more sence.

Thanks again for all the hard work. I'm milling over the module right now. I have been going to all the websites it suggests as helpful aids. Unfortuately, I could not get the old Hoffmann Institute page to come up. I was hoping to look at some of the fun information they had put together for the game. I'm going to try the cached pages from a google search next.

Cover me...I'm goin' in.

The only sites I was able to get to were Conspire.com, and disinfo.com. Another site I use frequently is http://www.occultopedia.com/index1.htm

I was able to find a small community still going here. Not much activity going on there unfortunately.

Never ran Killing Jar, although it is on my bookshelf. I'll take a look at it this weekend.

By the way, did you email me for the "Cattle Mutilatons" notes? Someone did, and I carelessly lost the email.

 

[fenzer]

No I did not. I would not mind a copy if you are up for sharing.

How are you handling the FX in your modern games?

Also, I haven't heard much lately about your web site. When will you have it up and running?

 

[TomServo]

Fenzer,; I'm currently working on converting the Dark Matter FX to d20, using the system set out in Universal FX as a guidline. (I'm roughly halfway through) When I'm done I'll post it here.

I played the killing jar using the alternity system. I created a few files for use in the game which you are more than welcome to. I also have various other files and reports from my dark mattter campaign that I can email you if you want (warning large fle sizes) let me know.
Also if you get the chance, take a look at the final church adventure 'web of evil' IMO better than the killing jar. That gives me an idea to run it in d20M!.

Cheers

Bob

Bob, Tom thanks. I appreciate your willingness to help out. My game is probably about a month or so away yet so I haven't been hustling on this.

Bob, I tried to find the Final Church but the links lead nowhere. The Wizards library link is broken and all I can find is a table of contents at the "official" web page. Can you get a copy anywhere, pdf or otherwise? Is there one out there?

NOTE: It looks like I found the ESD at a site, svgames.com. They want $10.00 for the download.

Man, I love these boards! No where else can you get the kind of help you find here. Nor will you find a better community.

I just want to thank Clumsy Bob, TomServo, and a member named John, sorry, I didn't get your alias, for offering up all your hard work and property. Your efforts have really paid off. Thank you very much.

I am sorry to say that it may be a minute before I can offer a modest repayment and let you know how my Killing Jar is going. A friend of mine as just finished a conversion of Lord of the Rings to 3.5 and we will be testing that for a while. Hopefully I can get these fantasy-heads to play a little Modern. I will keep you posted.

Thanks again everyone for your interest and your help.
