B-Movie Monday: Bollywood Horror!

Hello and welcome to B-Movie Monday. Submitted for your approval today are some horror movie trailers from India. I've watched a couple of Indian horror movies, and I've found them to be interesting viewing. It is interesting how some of the movies have Western-style monsters that are fought with such things as tridents (as a symbol of Shiva). Well enjoy these views into another realm of horror...

An excellent introduction to Bollywood horror by the fine folks at Mondo Macabro:

A Quick Vision of Vanth...

Two Rogue Steel Chariots attack an Old Terran Morphibot

The many mountain ranges of Vanth are dangerous to those unfamiliar with the terrain. Among the newest means of travel are the amazing Steel Chariots of the Iron Dwarf King. These cyaborgic wonders are crafted of a unique blend of orichalcum, mithril, and dilithium to withstand the extreme environmental and intelligent dangers of the mountains. Sometimes the control mind goes mad and a Steel Chariot rampages throughout the land destroying anything organic in its path and converting usable materials into fuel and ammunition. The Iron Dwarf King dispatches his Retrieval Engineer Corps to either subdue or destroy the errant construct before secrets are discovered.

Now, continuing the Amazing RPG Fun Pad Christmas Eve Celebration tradition, I present to you the 2012 Full Moon Entertainment Christmas Eve Extravaganza! Here are some more trailers from one of my favorite B-Movie companies.


Based off an original concept by Jack "The King" Kirby!

Jack Kirby's original concept art as "Mindmaster"

A corny concept but Phil Fondacaro makes a great Dracula

One of the later movies. How can you hate Murdercycle?

A sequel to the original Demonic Toys and the movie Hideous!

B-Movie Monday: Chistmas Mayhem

Welcome to another B-Movie Monday! With Christmas Eve only a week away, lets take a look at several trailers that have Christmas as a main theme in the mayhem.

Black Christmas is considered by many to be one of the precursors of the slasher genre. Featuring Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, and the Mighty John Saxon!

 

 I remember all the hell that was raised when this movie came out.

 

Surprisingly funny, Santa Slays tells the real origin of Santa. Featuring ex-wrestler Bill Goldberg and Robert Culp in his pajamas.




This Finnish import is worth checking out. There are some surprisingly creepy scenes in this one.

 

Everyone seems to forget that Gremlins is set during Christmas...




 Hope you're all getting your stuff done for the Holidays!

I Got The Blood & Treasure Complete Game Softcover

In the end it boiled down to two good reviews for Blood & Treasure (B&T) by Tenkar and Brutorz Bill and a Black Friday/Cyber Monday 30% off coupon for Lulu. That's why I bought a copy of the Blood & Treasure Complete Game Softcover from Lulu.

I've bought other games from B&T author John Stater, namely Mystery Men and Tales of the Space Princess. I enjoyed their blend of retro-clone fun and a willingness to adapt modern influences as well. The above reviews pointed out the blend of D&D editions that is the framework of B&T, and I realized that this what I was looking for. A bridge between editions that I can make monsters and magic that can easily be converted for other editions. Plus, I like how flexible the character classes are with plentiful examples of variant classes that expand the roleplaying possibilities.

Even without the coupon, B&T is a great value for the money. The 380 page tome is chock full of fantasy role playing goodness. The print is very small, but I work with small print so this isn't much of a problem for me. But you have pages and pages of spells, monsters, races, magic items and even monster templates from across the d20 SRD. Too use an old cliche, this may be the only book you'll need to run some great fantasy adventures.

It just hit me-I could use Blood & Treasure for a Fantasy Space game ala Spelljammer. I could use the naval rules in the book, say their for space travel, make up some weird space ships. There are plenty of monsters to use as aliens and encounters. I can use the planar rules for planets. I can call it Galaxseas...

Or I could just grab a few friends and pillage a dungeon. Sounds like fun.
