So why keep BTS around. They should just cease its publication and shut down the Lazlo site then. Why dangle the promise of a carrot when the patch is empty.

Holister

Stop holding your breath. It isn't going to happen. Palladium has given up on BTS because of what they consider a "lack of interest". They, like many RPG companies, produce only what they think is going to rake in the big money. They already have a cash cow with RIFTS so that is where they...

Holister

Well everything seems to be going well. I have had alot of time to work on the game and my regular group is doing well. I ran the above mentioned game and it took about 3 sessions to complete and they liked it. I got another going on now that is requiring some investigation on behalf on group, and o...

Holister

Ok, so I am leaning heavily toward Canada...maybe Novia Scotia or Prince Edward Island. This way it puts the characters in a limited area establishing a feeling of being cut off during the whole ordeal.

Holister

Dude, don't hold your breath. Pal promises alot and delivers a little.

Holister

Ok, sounds good. Where would you like the story to take place?

Holister

Well I have been having fun posting the new {mis}adventures of Ben Holister as he deals with the supernatual and other "horrific" encounters in his lil neck of the woods. Just posted his latest adventure involving a mummy.

Holister

Ok, will look foward to hearing back from you.

Holister

No problem. Happy to help out a fellow GM.

Holister

ok, I will check back tomorrow.

Holister

As far as I can remember everyone starts with one attack per round, plus what ever their Hand to hand combat skill grants. As a friendly bit of advice, only stick with Basic and Expert.....the othe rhand to hand types are simply not appropriate for a "horror" campaign setting and only enco...

Holister

Ok, reality is, they BTS 2nd edition came out in 2005, that wa slike like 10 years ago. They have no intention of ever EVER putting out those other bboks. Buying a BTS 2nd edition is a waste of time and money. They spent all their time and effort on Dead Reign because "zombie apocalypse" i...

Holister

Thanks Natasha, I will await your reply.

Holister

Well here is a recent idea I wanted to run for my regular group buty I think it may play out well for the Lazlo site too if done right. The Idea: Setting: Secluded town near a huge forest/national park. Hook: Recent logging activity has unleased a supernatural "thing" that was trapped with...

Holister

Wow, ok. I can post a few ideas tomorrow.

Holister

Well I have several ideas for possible storylines based on inspirations from movies that I have seen and books that I have read. Ironically there is just no one around. Its kind of depressing actually.

Maybe they should just shut it down or reset it as I suggested.

Holister

That is because everyone is gone. Maybe we can people to come back be showing some renewed interest in the site.

Holister

Yeah, but the site just turned into a ghost town, heck I saw a tumble weed blow during my last vistit. lol. Maybe they should just do a purge, and reboot the site. You know, start it over from scratch to entice new players, maybe change things up where as it is not all "in character" posti...

Holister

ROFLMAO!!!!

Holister

Dude that sucks. I know the feeling. Had the same thing happen to me when I lived in North Jersey.

Holister

So its been abandoned. Why does Palladium still even have the site running then?

Holister

Ok, the site is pretty flat lined. Other than the guy posting in black text {being on a black background it is really straining to the eyes dude, try switching out the color to something visible} there is no one posting. Is anyone doing anything there or what?

Holister

Running my annual Chamberlaine Manor campaign this weekend that I do every year for the past 22 years now. Only three players have ever beaten it, and only one of them beat it successfully.

I am also having a Halloween Party campaign on Halloween with some friends so I'm looking for ideas.

Holister

Hi guys. Just wondering where everyone on Lazlo has gotten to? The site has been like abandoned all month and its creepy. Even Ron doesn't post anymore. I am just checking in to see if anyone has anything planned over there or if it is like first come first serve right now. Hope to hear back from so...

Holister

Ok, I posted it. Lets see who solves it first. lol I wonder if the guys on the site can solve it faster than the group did last Saturday.

Holister

I have something I would like to try, but it takes place in the Italian Alps.

Holister

I agree with you Natasha. Back in the day to many people were using inappropriate characters and it caused alot of issues. Maybe you should just stick with what you know Ill, keep it simple, and you should be just fine. Our material is straight up horror and is more than compatible. Don't overplay t...

Holister

Hey there Illandra. Glad to see you could join the site. You would have had a better chance of starting something when the site first opened 2005 - 2007 were the golden years. All the originals have long since left, so it just isn't the same anymore. So if you want to start something for the site Il...

Holister

Ok. I got the results in. The data should help me out alot. Thanks again guys.

Holister

Ok, here is another poll topic. I need some major imput on this one. The last few polls have helped out alot. Thanks Guys.

Holister

Ok ladies & gentlemen. Time for my next arc location vote.

Holister

Looks like Killer Cyborg is in the lead. Keep those votes coming.

Holister

Looks like we have a winner.

It's HONG KONG.

Congratualtions and thanks guys for voting.

Lets hope that it survives the battle.

To all those who took place in this vote give yourselves 50 exp.

Holister

Howdy again. As the final location for my arc is being determined, here comes my next vote. Again, I can't tell you what its for, but the information will be extremely useful.

Holister

Ok guys, looks like we ended up with a tie between Seattle and Hong Kong. SO this is gonna be the tie breaker.

Holister

One day left people. I need more votes.

You may also check out my Kaiju related exploits on Facebook. Just look for me, the totally awesome Ben Holister (Blackwood, NJ).

Later Guys.

Holister

What its for is not important, I just need the imput. When all is said and done, I will reveal all.

Turst me...

Holister

Ok, you will be the deciding factor. 12 cities; pick your choice.

Holister

So Elfgirl, do you really plan to bring back our favorite vampire heroine or is this just "an idea in the works." I actually miss Celeste. She was a great character and I have dabbled in ways to bring her back myself. Its not that I don't like Wie, but Cee was just a better character. When...

Holister

Oh gawd....are you serious.

Have things gotten that dull that you brining that nightmare Ron scenario back.

Come on, you guys can do better than that.

A good example of daytime time, just some Japanese horror films. Most of the story takes place during the day too. Just watch the original Ju-On, most of the movies takes place during the day.

Spoiler:

Holister

Love the random tables.

I can't wait to see more.

Holister

From Beyond is a good example of arcane science gone horribly wrong. I've personally used that story on more than one occasion.

Holister

Any monster could work, if done correctly. I had a campaign where a mad scientist genetically reengineered a dragon that the party had to stop. I also had a camapign that had Xiticx invade a top secret government complex due to an experimental portal device the military was tampering with. The party...

Holister

I like the daylight horrors that don't think twice about screwing with you day or night.

Holister

You know, Wie never mentioned what happened to the the shard of the VI that created Cee . . . What is the Shard of the VI? How did it create Cee? I thought she was a vampire? Im so confused..... PS: Wie also had the "Book" from the old man when she last visited Cypress Cove. That needs to...

Holister

Sounds like this is where they got the idea for the movie "Wishmaster". The whole be careful what you wish for moral.

Holister

I just think if Palladium had single resource books like "The Book of Magic" GMs would not need to pull dozens of books to find what they are looking for. A Monster Compendium would be one stop shopping for all your monster needs. Heck, it worked for D&D for decades. I also think that ...

Holister

Since this topic is about Lovecraft has anyone here seen "THE LAST LOVECRAFT; The Relic of Cthulhu". I always thought that would make a nice BtS style camapign. A few others that I liked were "DAGON", "THE UNNAMABLE", "The UNNAMABLE II", "Dreams in the Wi...
