WiretrippaNo, he very deliberately said ‘statosphere’, and repeated it twice.
Run Jimmy, run!
WiretrippaBOHICA:
Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.
Serious fucking failure, fumble.
OACOWA:
Open A Can Of Whoop-Ass
Awesome success.
WiretrippaOr a narqui with a stoner-esque link to The Witness archetype. Small wonder he’s a little unhinged….
WiretrippaAn old friend of mine steals all my ‘outrageous’ luck. I’ve allowed him to do this by verbal contract as he involves himself in nefarious activities from time to time. I’ve not had outrageous good luck for at least five years, and for five years my friend has evaded any number of potentially disastrous scenarios through ridiculous swings of fortune in his favour.
I continue to make my own small, day-to-day luck. And one day, when my friend decides he’s had enough of his wild life-style, I’ll take it back.
WiretrippaI think the idea of an occult ‘hot’ war and its possible ramifications should be played with a little more. Remember what happens if you wake the tiger.
WiretrippaEven sneakier, have them be those guys at the major record company that pony up the cash for the latest boy band to release yet another album of commitee-penned clap-trap, but tie them up in legalistic knots when the band members decide they want to try and be ‘creative’.
Robbie Williams is one of the few to escape this process, I don’t want to know what the hell he was conjuring up to free himself in the years between Take That collapsing and his first solo album…..
WiretrippaAw man, you got my brain buzzin now.
You want guerilla warriors from the music scene? Look no further than Zack DeLa Rocha, frontman of now-defunct band Rage Against The Machine!
RATM supported just about every casue to be had in their day, from Native Americans to a long-standing comment on the South Amercian Zapatistas, a guerilla group.
The rest of the band has gone on to form Audioslave with ex-Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, but who knows where the mighty Zack has vanished to…
Is there a new star in the Invisible Clergy’s sky? Or has some long-dead singer of protest songs come screaming back from the Statosphere?
And what the HELL is Bob Dylan gonna think about this?
WiretrippaIt’s simple. Make them a small-time ‘dirty deeds’ crew who take care of little stuff for the local capo. All it takes is one bar-brawl with a Dipsomancer, or an order from a superstitious consiglieri to retrieve ‘object X’, to start your boys down the path to becoming the local Mafia’s answer to the Ghostbusters.
I’m saying not only should you play it for high-level unnatural, but also for a few laughs. How the HELL are they going to explain to the capo that their mark sicced a posse of crazy homeless men on them? Or that they pulled Joey’s ear off with one hand, without even breaking a sweat?
WiretrippaPerhaps an archival search on a prominent magazine, such as Time. They’re scupulously good at keeping their past issues available, and probably have a built-in search function.
WiretrippaYou could probably do worse than a bit of Goggle-whacking. Hit it up for relevant keywords, and then tighten your search after the first, inevitable, ‘your query returned 180,000 results’
WiretrippaI’ll personally be running my next game in my home town of Sydney, Australia. I think that layering crazy-ass magick and horror happenings over everyday life in your hometown can’t be beat. Plus it makes for a whole new look at Grand Central Station when you remember the fight in the toilets your PCs had with a bodybag just last week….
WiretrippaOk, a reminder of a few years back…
Port Arthur in Tasmania is the site of a horrible spree killing several years ago. A mentally unhinged guy named Martin Bryant shot and killed over 30 people who were at the tourist location.
Port Arthur itself was a small penal colony for convicts in the early-mid 19th century, and had a fearsome reputation.
Was Bryant possessed? Perhaps his madness had method in it, and he was trying to de-throne the current Godwalker of the Crazed Loner? Or maybe he was indeed set up by a cliomancer trying to set themselves up a major charge…..
WiretrippaWell, here’s an interesting bit from the Sydney landscape…
The old Quarantine Station at the heads that lead into Sydney Harbour is one of the most haunted places in the western world. thousands of people died there in the 19th and early 20th century of all manner of afflictions. Now they want to tear the place down and replace it with a luxury hotel.
Is it just me, or haven’t a whole bunch of horror movies started with just the same premise…..?
