  • A distant rumble....

    It's not so much a sound as.....a deep vibration in the distance....Hmmm. Yes, there it is again. But not quite thunder. More like....guns......big guns....

      New scenario, Kull? Ancient? Please, give us something more...




      Ancient? With guns? I don`t think so.

        Ah, you are right, I only thought Kull would make a new ancient scn, because his others are about that time...

            I'm thinking "Guns of August" right now. God would I love a good WWI scenario.

              I was thinking maybe a Civil War project.

                How long is he going to leave us hanging before he gives us a hint? Does he do this type of thing often?

                  Guns... big guns... it's the Germans! They're closing in on Paris, they'll be here within the day, maybe even the hour! I'll water my plants with Champagne before I let the Germans drink it...

                  Hey, the world can always use more WWII scenarios.

                    Yes...the winds blowing south from Belgium contain a VERY strong odor of cordite. And that noise! It's like God's Kettle Drum, booming in the distance. Just look at the fields around us.....the grain shakes and the poppies quiver just moments before the sound reaches our ears!

                    A vision rises before our eyes, yea a certainty even. Dark and grotesque, it is. A great scythe shall surely slice through these very fields, but the harvest won't be grain or corn. It is hot and it is August, and somewhere Mars chuckles and sharpens his blade.

                          I swear I heard or read that before. I just can't place it though. You definitely have my interest peaked.

                            A ha! It's definitely a WWI scenario.

                            To me though, all WWI scenarios seem the same because they only let the war play out like it did historically... Costly battles where hardly any land is exchanged, and rarely are cities captured, if at all.

                            Will this one be different?
