SSgt Baloo Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures Harry Turtledove wrote a very interesting series of books wherein Aliens from Outer Space™ invade Earth. Book one in the series is titled Worldwar: In the Balance. It gives a somewhat different sort of alien to contend with that might appeal to some folks more than just the usual "Martians? Again?!?"

proditor Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures I can second the Turtledove stuff. The arrogance of the invaders is also a hoot. If you need some toys to smash or tool around in, I have some real, fake, and REALLY fake stuff on my vehicle page. http://home.comcast.net/~champsstuff/ Space is still down however.

Redmenace Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures I just finished a book that might be of interest. Its called "My Tank is Fight!" by Zack Parsons. It is about some of the crazier real world super weapons projects of World War Two. Each weapon is described and analysed then given a fictional battle report. If you like real world WW2 era tech or crazy stuff like War Wheels you have got to give it a look. The sections are: 1.) Land the Maus LandKreuzer P Ratte German trans channel supergun Wire guided antitank weapons Vampir nightvision scopes LandKreuzerPP Monster 2.)Air Weser WP -like a Nazi Osprey The Christie Flying Tank The Heliofly single soldier helicopter back pack German A10 super rocket and Von Braun's space station Horten HO flying wing fighter German A-Bomb Axis parasite kamikaze fighter Silverbird orbitol bomber 3.) Sea Axis hovercraft raider Submarine li cruiser ala the Surcouf HMS Habbakuk-with a nice illustration Seeteufel a submarine tank Sub launched V2 The tone is light and very funny in the analysis but the what if sections read like short novellas. I just can't reccomend it enough for it's GM inspiring goodness.

proditor Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures I did a write-up of the Ratte for DH. http://www.herogames.com/viewDHIssue.htm;jsessionid=a3PGgvuu-qOc?issueID=217474 Ages ago I posted a US modified Surcouf HDC sheet, but no one ever downloaded it, so it got dropped from my attachments.

Cassandra Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures Watch the original Why We Fight seven part series which explains the origins of the war, and the true menace of the Axis. Wonder Woman First Season for a TV show that had the right feel of 1940s adventure The Phantom with Billy Zane and Catherine Zeta Jones. All Star Squadron comics was set in during World War Two as well. Check out some of my characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Golden Age adventures I just put up a 150 point character called the Swashbuckler in "My Superhero Universe" Thread in Champions. He's based loosely on Errol Flynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
