I think my character needs to go to a larger city where he has a better chance of hiring a henchman oncologist. On the bright side, maybe if I have to lose a limb from the mortal wounds table it could be the cancerous one effectively removing the diseased tissue.
Per henchman oncologist's instructions: if you take small doses of giant centipede venom twice a day for a week, there is a 20% chance the cancer will go into remission. This process may be repeated; however, the usual effects of giant centipede venom remain in effect, and there is a cumulative 5% chance per week of treatment that the venom will subtract 1d8 weeks from the character's remaining time.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

ReplyDeleteThis is the most morbid joke I've made in a long time.
