Nice, me likes. Modern Reality Changing Horror has always been one of my favorite genres. :D

Okay, so...

1) Where do Wushu weaknesses come in, or do they?

2) How many stats are we looking at, and how many stat-points total? In particular for the Sweeper teams.

Please ignore question #2, as I'm guessing it's 5, 4, 4, and 3, right?

With the Fear mechanics, I don't think a Weakness is really necessary. We already know what things tweak your PC out, ya know?

So, how did that Halloween game go? Did you use any of the suggestions we all gave you?

Dan, I feel very sheepish that I just discovered this column. I want to thank you for this fantastic resource you're cranking out! I'm sure others have mentioned it, but it reminds me strongly of the column Chad Underkoffler used to write for Pyramid, "Campaign in a Box." I absolutely love this stuff, and you've given us in less than a year enough material to game for a couple of decades!

Thank you very, very much. :)

So, how did that Halloween game go? Did you use any of the suggestions we all gave you?Sorry I missed this post! I only managed to run 1 Parademic game in October (I think I've run 4-5 total; it's awesome), but I did use a lot of the suggestions from the forum. I read straight off my laptop and wrote down anything that struck my players' fancy, then I used a lot of the stuff they didn't. (I'd tell you specifically, but I think I tossed my notes.)

Did anybody else run them some Parademic?

Thank you very, very much. :)You're very very welcome :D

I took a Halloween break, so there won't be a Nov. installment, but I'm whipping up 3 more articles at this very moment. Wushu Skidoo will be back in Dec.

OK so its a little late, but I managed to find a group to play Wushu, and we played Parademic as our second session. It went really well and we managed to hook a new player who hadn't gamed in years (and had only played D&D before)

I did a write-up in the Actual Play Thread of Parademic - New York (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=391580)
