Pretty impressive collection.
Lets continue the story ( actually I was the first to kill that tw.t - because I always played the bad guys ) but seeing this amount of adventures touches my sensitive side. The Doc must life !

We can always have different types of baddies instead of the usual Fu Manchu and Hak Man-tsu to add interest.

For example - Nazi occult hunters learn that the Doc has somehow cheated death.  Hitler has ordered them to find out the secret of immortality and they must capture the Doc.

Meanwhile, Britain's SOE has intercepted the German plan and have sent a band of elite British commandoes (aka the Rifle Brigade) to locate the Doc

I like that Dom! Or, if you want to keep it pre-Nazi, you can have those nice Artizan Sky Pirates led by the sinister Baron von Toje. The British RAF special operations unit could be faced off against him. Of course, his body, suspended between life and death, was stolen from the Chinese Warlord by the evil Cult of the Burning Palm.

All kinds of cool figures to use! And you can have the cult moving him around the world, trying to keep others from finding him.

Post by: gorillacrab on May 17, 2010, 06:00:02 PM

Extremely cool pictures - but what rule system are you using?

Our group in Vancouver is getting Pulpier, but still trying to determine the best rule system to use.

Please let us know what rules you use - and any useful notes or stuff to make it work better.
