Hmmm...just picked something else up, one of my favorite systems (I gotta
admit, d20 is not my fave), the Gear Krieg RPG, by Dream Pod 9...'Two Fisted
Pulp Roleplaying in a World at War!'. Not so much 'Weird', their zombies are
most likely chemically altered POWs, things like that, or drugged up
supersoldiers, but it is a Pulp/Science! WW2 game. Some good plotting ideas
and such, and some neat equipment. Nothing is terribly original, but, the
genre -has- been done...it's a good sourcebook nonetheless, as it has
extensive recent history (just pre-WW2) to give some background, and plenty
of strange things going on...
