Transformers exist on Earth-218 . Not in great numbers but they are there  so it stands to reason that there are those who would have knowledge of the Universal Greeting.  Feat: Universal Greeting [General] Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong Benefit: You know and are able to use the Universal Greeting. It is used to express peaceful intentions when a language barrier is present. It also conveys knowledge of the accompanying hand gestures and (optional) dance. The speaker gains a +2 bonus to Diplomacy checks with non-terrestrial lifeforms when using the Greeting. However, there is a 50% chance that the Greeting has the opposite of the intended effect and causes listeners to attacker the speaker instead. Normal:  Simply speaking the words has no effect beyond making the speaker seem mildly deranged.

Post-March 1942 Sumatra has fallen to the Japanese! Allied forces have been driven before the Imperial invaders. With its western flank threatened, the US, British, Australian, and Dutch militaries desperately search for an island stronghold from which to launch a counter-offensive. After months of exploration, scouts have located an island at the center of an area of magnetic anomalies and violent storms. High Command has given the party orders to conduct a reconnaissance survey of the island to determine the feasibility of establishing an airfield and supply depot in support of a bomber squadron and its fighter escorts. The party boards a submarine and sails to the island. They are sent ashore and soon find ancient ruins. Chief among them is a mighty wall that divides a lone settlement from a thickly forested jungle. Enormous stone buildings, their original builders lost to antiquity, dwarf the crude mud and stick homes of the hostile, cannibalistic natives. Beyond the wall, a moun...

  "This is Jesse Mach, an ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty. Now a police troubleshooter, he’s been recruited for a top secret government mission to ride Street Hawk, an all-terrain attack motorcycle designed to fight urban crime, capable of incredible speeds up to three hundred miles an hour, and immense firepower. Only one man, federal agent Norman Tuttle, knows Jesse Mach’s true identity. The man, the machine, Street Hawk." Jesse operated as Street Hawk for five months in 1985. Cost overruns for the Street Hawk project, collateral damage, and a changing political landscape brought the project to a close. Jesse and Norman, the designer and technician who performed all of the maintenance on the motorcycle, have been trying to get the project reinstated ever since.

The World's Most Comfortable Chair is a green leather armchair with a cut-out area to provide support for the user's head and neck. Anyone who sits in it is subjected to the greatest level of comfort they have ever experienced. This sense of relaxation is so intense that those seated lose interest in anything beyond sitting in the Chair, abandoning all plans in the process. June 14, 1953 - The first person who ever sat in the chair (Experimental Subject #1), announced it was comfortable and that sitting in it was the best thing he had ever done. He remained in the chair until September 20, 1976 (23 years, 3 months, 6 days).   Those who sit in the Chair must make a Will save (DC20) or become so comfortable that their only desire is to continue sitting in the chair. While seated, they speak in a drowsy, disconnected manner. They may attempt additional Will saves to escape from the Chair's influence but many choose not to unless inspired by outside forces.

Not much happens in in Fort Wayne, Indiana . In fact, there are so few diversions that the town consistently ranks in "The Top Five Most Boring Towns in the United States" lists. It is because of this that a visit to Louis Gardner's combination miniature golf and petting zoo qualifies as a pretty wild night on the town. Or at least that's what Martin Davis was hoping when he picked Patty Johnson up for a date on a Saturday night. Martin's plan was a simple one: impress Patty with his golfing skills and then woo her with the adorable animals at Putt Putt Pet. There was just one slight problem. Patty was a masterful golfer but Martin had never made it past that cursed windmill obstacle on the second hole. He needed help. So, early Saturday morning he paid a visit to Ursula Tsoros, a woman rumored to be a gypsy living in a garishly painted Volkswagen van often parked on the banks of the St. Mary River, to beg for her help. At first, she refused but Martin was so pa...

Paranoia was/is a role-playing game set in a dystopian future. An unspecified disaster occurred at same point in the setting's past and the citizens of Alpha Complex live in a constant state of conflicting directives overseen by "The Computer". No mention of what kind of disaster exists in any of the game books I own, nor is the location of Alpha Complex ever discussed. I, therefore, propose the following.... While working on a d20 version of RoboCop for my current campaign , I was bouncing back and forth between assorted wikis and came across an article on S.A.I.N.T. S.A.I.N.T. is an Artificial Intelligence that is meant to oversee Omni Consumer Products’ City of the Future, Delta City. S.A.I.N.T. however is corrupted by hackers before it is brought online and is driven “insane”. Still, it is cognizant enough to carry out tasks enabling it to meet its objectives. After the events of RoboCop 3 but before all of OCP’s assets can be seized or liquidated, S.A.I.N.T. tra...

Crosswind is a character in my campaign . Because Earth-218 has Transformers, it stands to reason that the inauspiciously-named Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Cambombya must also exist. Situated on the northern coast of Africa between Libya and Egypt, Carbombya stands as a caricature of anti-Middle Eastern stereotypes. It is occupied by xenophobic, unstable, religious extremists who stand in opposition to the West. And that's exactly what they want you to think. Carbombya has vast reserves of high-quality oil and natural gas. It combines these resources with a weak military, low population, and Ill-defined borders. Realizing that they are operating from a position of vulnerability, the nation's leaders have decided that their best defense is to play the role of the buffoon. Abdul Fakkadi is the nation's "Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings". In public, he acts erratically and comes across as both pompous and intole...
