[QUOTE="madwabbit, post: 4120879, member: 38776"] And I finally posted mine, for Sunday morning as well: [U][B]Terror at the World's Fair![/B][/U] ([I]Hollow Earth Expedition-HEX[/I]) It's June 1939 and the world-famous physicist Dr. Lazlo Horvath has invited you, several other distinguished guests, and the press to an evening gala at the New York World's Fair for the unveiling of his latest scientific discovery. In his invitation, the brilliant but eccentric scientist writes that “I have built ze prototype of a Device zat I believe vill cure all of mankind's ills … war, starvation, disease vill become ghosts of ze past ... perhaps even ze end of Death itself!”** The world is on the brink of being engulfed in the flames of global war yet again. Horvath's claims, if true, could very well be the fulfillment of the idealistic dream of the World’s Fair itself: the World of Tomorrow, where the wonders of science and technology can and will bring about the brightest of all possible futures, with boundless opportunity for all of mankind, and lasting peace around the globe. On a warm and beautiful summer's evening, under the watchful eye and guard of the New York Police Department's finest, you and the other attendees will be witness to the revelation of one of the most amazing and astounding discoveries in mankind's history... as it goes horribly, terribly, and inexorably wrong!!! --- This game will be everything you've come to expect from a pulp game and much, much more: non-stop-over-the-top action, with a storyline that is guaranteed to go off the rails, chock full of gunplay, deeds of derring-do, mystery, intrigue, nail-biting suspense, the lost secrets of ancient civilizations, weird science, cool gadgets, flying machines, and of course, Nazis and [TBD]***!!!! This game will use the Ubiquity system from Hollow Earth Expedition/Secrets of the Surface World. No knowledge of the game system is needed, and an awesomely awesome set of pre-generated characters will be provided. All you need to bring is both your sense of adventure AND humor and you're all set! 6 players max, 5 seats available (1 reserved) - hopefully I did that right in the event config. --- [I] [SIZE=1]** Misspellings are for Dr. Horvath's accented voiceover in your head only; the invitation was undoubtedly proofed for spelling by his secretary before it was sent. *** [TBD] I can make no commitment at this time with regard to dinosaurs, as no headway has yet been made in negotiations with the Prehistoric and Anachronistic Terrible Lizards Union (PATLU), currently on strike over adventure residuals.[/SIZE][/I] [/QUOTE]
