SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This was a well done movie I might add. It would make for a GREAT RPG setting, starting from the end of the movie... (the creatures are moving into more territory).

Well, the real-life monster that almost took down Medieval Europe was a microbe. You can't underestimate the terror-effect of that.  And sure, if you want to fantasy-it-up a notch, you could always have it be an intentional pandemic spread by Ratmen or Chaos Gods of Plague or something like that.

Neither can the Chinese government as this fresh piece of news shows.

The best monsters are typically metaphors for current fears.  Vampires represent disease, etc.  So what's a modern fear that's not been covered?...

What about a shadow world where you can see everyone else but you mostly don't exist?  Others like you are either allies or competition.  Sort of like VtM but more ethereal. This would be a personalization of nobody liking your social media posts...

Not sure how to personify that monster though.   Maybe someone or some computer decides you aren't relevant enough to exist and causes your reality to start to unravel?

Vampires are metaphors for liberals and zombies for conservatives.

So play to your crowd. ;)
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Don't get me started.  I'm about to tear up my Red Team card as it is...
