Turns out I was fairly clever. Just forty years late. So, I had this idea about a week ago: Hey, what if there was a vampiric van? Like, a, Vanpire. Yeah! Right? Well. Meanwhile, back in the ’70s: And in case you wanted to build your own 1/24 scale bloodmobile: That’s a veritable nest of… Read more »

Info Dump!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Mutants and Death Ray Guns.

First, this: OK, much as I love Mutants and Death Ray Guns it does lack a few things I really want. So over the past while I’ve been working on a number of expansions and mods for MDRG. And now I’ve decided it’s high time I put them all in one place so I can… Read more »

Listen, you smell something?

Among cults or races of synesthesiacs roll a d5 twice (shift the second roll up one if your result is doubles; 5 goes round to 1): 1 = Sight; 2 = Smell; 3 = Sound; 4 = Taste; or 5 = Touch. … is perceived as … 1 = Sight; 2 = Smell; 3 =… Read more »
