I’m curious what the UA crowd makes of this guy. My personal opinion is that he is a blatant conspiracy theory plagiarist. With the exception of his Reptoids, I don’t think this guy has an original bone in his body. He just keeps grabbing other people’s conspiracies and duct-taping them onto his own.
Is there ANYTHING useful for games from his rants? I guess if you flip through one of his tomes and pick a paragraph at random and say “OK, that is true”, then you can have the seed of a conspiracy game. Anyone used anything from his books or website with success?
BTW: There is apparently some sort of rivalry between him and Claude Vorilhon, leader of the Raelians. Now THAT could be the seed for an interesting game. Face-off for Godwalker of the Kook…
The thing i find really useful both about UA and this site. is the sheer amount of dis-information you can get.
In a lot of horror games you can get plenty of plot but few red herrings.
I go through the rumours section about once a week and introduce about half of them into my game as theories or wacky ideas from NPC’s.
Its gives a really good sence of a OU thats moving and dealing beyond what the players can see.
Anyway….. i did have a point, oh yeah, once they get used to the idea that all sorts of weird things are going on may start taking all manner of notable “crazies” a little more seriously.
But, of course, they might still just be crazy. They may not even have any special abilities or know even one tidbit of correct, useful, or otherwise valid occult knowledge. They might, in fact, just be nutty.
Which isn’t to say they might not still be dangerous, useful, valuable, or adorable.
