    Oh man. I was addicted to Project Blue Book or whatever it was called in the '70s.

    I was all about UFOs and cryptozoology when I was a kid.

    I just hit 40. there were tons of Bigfoot and loch Ness monster books written in the 70s that our library had. Plus, I remember Whitley Streiber on Johnny Carson. Alien Abduction has freaked me out ever since.

    I'm just a couple years younger. As a non-religious kid, I was terrified of alien abduction. I didn't believe in supernatural stuff but the idea that maybe aliens really did kidnap people and abuse them scared the hell out of me. Plenty of nightmares.

    Oh yeah. I didn't believe in ghosts, but I spent a lot of time under the covers convinced if I looked there would be giant almond eyes looking down at me.

    nooooo

    I used be scared to wash my hair when I was a kid. I was convinced there would be a Hopkinsville Goblin clawing at the shower window when I opened my eyes.

    Do you have a copy of the Big Book of the Unexplained? It sums up everything I read about as a kid.

    I do not, but I have a feeling we read most of the same stuff.

    This sort of thing... childhood obsession. I kind of wish I had kept up, but now I don't even watch the Ancient Aliens stuff and I killed my subscription to the Fortean Times :(

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
