All joking aside, I really hope that everyone in the community, and their friends and family, are safe.
Now to the point. The one thing I see Coronavirus doing for our community is giving us a different origin story of the Apocalypse! Imagine the future history of TME based on a pandemic, and how the virus mutating changed people. How to explain the devastation and destruction? Easy... what else do humans do when scared but become even more destructive. Fear of the effects of an out of control virus sparks attacks on quarantined cities by their own countries, and mistakes lead to a quick escalation.
Just an idea. Trying to find something good today.
Be careful!

Last year in one of our games, I had an NPC suggest the Mecha's attempt at purging humans was them trying to wipe out a virus.
suffice to say today no one trusts the Roomba.

I agree that a virus, even in certain pre-devastation regions, would hasten a collapse. I've been on this rock for a long time now and I have never seen store shelves cleared out as I have with this Covid-19 situation. I can only imagine adding some other catastrophe on top of this, like an invasion, robotic rebellion, mutant creatures in the community or a 2nd great depression.
I had my fourth eye procedure a few weeks back and was so glad it wasn't postponed again. I don't want to be anywhere near a hospital right now if I can avoid it. That said, I have been sick for 8 days now with some sorta cold, but feel pretty good otherwise. Working on a newsletter so stay tuned!

Don't you dare get sick now, mister. You've already had your sick days... now get back to work, LOL.
Just kidding. Glad you're doing better. Can't wait for the newsletter!

Thanks, Tim, Feeling a bit better today. Trying to get lots of sleep and shake this thing. On top of the Wuflu there are some other flus going around town, too. I got no time to be sick. I got a busy day! Updated the Expansion rules Art Gallery on our website www.outlandarts.com/TME-Expansion-Rules-ArtGallery1.htm . Now have art galleries 1 to 14 done. Organizing our mail order bundles in the warehouses (garage). Gonna do some drawing now, too. How're you doing? Take care |

Was not expecting to find my Frogskies build on the gallery page, awesome.
I ran Muddy Waters with them replacing Reptilus encounters (and wherever it felt right) and things got real dicey real quick for fresh characters.

Frogskies are great. I will post them here too!  FrogskiesChristopher Abrahams stated these creatures out over on our facebook page DV: -12 (junk armour made for flotsam and jetsom)/ -20 in water END: 12+d20 MV: 5m/10m swim Initiative: 0/+2 in water. ATKs: 3 max 1 weapon (2 if using a knife), 1 mental mutation SV: 52 (base) 56 (knives) DMG d10+3 Dagger, d20 END d6 Int via Mind Crush. STR: 30 AGI: 40 ACC:37 (+2sv) INT: 2d10+3 WIL: d10+30 PER: 45 (+1) APP: 3d4 Valuables: VP (items found in the water) EFs: 30 Morale: Firm Size: 1.2 meters* weight 60kg Mutations: Webbed hands, Mind Crush. Relics 20% of having a harpoon gun (modded for the webbed hands) Implants: N/A Skills: Knife Fighter 2, Stealth 2 *Thanks to their stout legs they don't stand tall like their standard cousins but the extra forehead room tends to make them look the same height. Frogskies, a variety of skullocks modeled on "old world" frogmen. They have a host of aquatic mutations, advanced mind, and mind crush. They would be sent out to capture ships by lurking in the water and mind crushing helmsman and lookouts alike. |

Will, did you know that Photobucket watermarks are appearing on your picture posts? They're kinda covering them a bit too much, and I wasn't sure if you were aware.

Hi Tim,
No, I didn't realize they were showing watermarks. Thanks for letting me know. I wonder how I can shut that off at the other end. Thanks for the heads up, sir.
I hope you and yours are all staying healthy and creative!
Will
