    I've been working on some random tables that generate the interior of a place like this room by room on the fly.

    This is pretty Ur-Hadad stuff right here. I imagine the urchins living in places like this.

    I first learned about this place via William Gibson's Bridge trilogy.

    I based it on Kowloon, which I also heard about from Gibson. But it was this particular image which made me start writing the tables.

    Casey G. We do have a particularly warren like part of Ur-Hadad know as the squat which this could work well with. I was actually making it for a Dark Heresy sort of hive world mega ghetto.

    Wayne Snyder  That sounds awesome.  It's a great image, and something like the tables you're working on would be really cool for generating parts of the Underhive in a Dark Heresy game.

    There's a cool podcast episode about it here, from the consistently great 99% Invisible: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-66-kowloon-walled-city/

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/

Hit Me with your Horror

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)
