    Are you suggesting that the succession of hand-drawn maps that have appeared in the past 80+ Rifts books, with little consistency between them, wasn't "decent"?

    I know it's very D&D, but a hexcrawl version of this would be great. Rifts is perfect for a sandbox. I wonder if the monster book will have encounter tables?

    Now I see that the "highway sign" picture I bitched about earlier is supposed to be Chi-Town. Why would there be highway signs written in English, in a country where practically everyone is illiterate? THIS IS BULLSHIT

    ;)

    I thought of writing up my Pacific Northwest-based Rifts stuff as a hexcrawl at one point, but never got around to it. I wouldn't hold my breath for a random encounter table.

    I'm trying to remember if my Deadlands book has one...

    Palladium certainly doesn't have many. A few of the Palladium Fantasy, 1st ed books had them. Honestly, they seem like a very D&D thing.

    Robotech had some random encounters, but it was a more finite enemy force in a situation where the PCs were generally patrolling.

    After the Bomb had some as well. The Road Hogs table was good. That game was about travel after all.

    Right. There might be some random encounter tables in Rifts adventures, come to think of it. Palladium's encounter tables are adventure-specific rather than generic like D&D's.

    Hey, Paul V., just went over $300K, so big books it is.

    Casey G. Nice. I wonder if they'll add more stretch goals. (I wouldn't be upset if they didn't.)

    Just checked, every $10,000 is a one-sheet adventure.

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)
