This was changed to the Trinity Universe with the advent of the D20 versions, even getting its own Trinity Universe logo. The Mark Chiarello illustration depicts an adventurer resembling Howard Hughes -- perhaps Max Mercer himself -- with sleeves rolled up, climbing over human skeletons and giant worms or tentacles as he descends into a stone chamber in some forgotten ruins of the ancient world. Art : The art is wonderfully evocative of the pulp genre, including frequent small text captions, as was common in the original literature.

Reviews Suddenly dizzy and weak, I fell to my should have thought " "Here, look at this. Inside were several thin, red obblonde curls. I blinked, and before my mind jects. They looked like rusty wires, percould get up to speed, my mouth had haps 40 gauge. The words "Oh, bugger," fell out, followed immediately by, "I died and this "Your blood.
When that knife cut you, it is heaven, isn't it? They pulled these out of the veins in your forehead. Lucky for you the blood vessels up there are small. Primoris was stabbeddeep in the side, and a lot more of his bloodgot Not too bad. I couldn't quite followall that they were saying, but Dixon and Tallon were concerned that a piece of That or get propelled into his brain and cause a stroke. Hurry though. His pants are alreadyon. A door opened, anaromaof cigars and leather wafted out, and Dixon's voice floated up.
Thanks for savingmy life. I'm sure I can count on youto 'pick up the next round,' as it were. Besides,I really was looking for a chance to test the Dynamic Gluten Ejaculator. Six hardened criminals?

They handled themselves well, but without those knives " "Ah,well, the technologicaladvantage!
Not unlike-" "Do you know what was going on with that smoke? The knives produced the same dust that was on the floor of the lab. This particular reaction is extremely dramatic and dynamic. Whatever those knives were made of, it sucks in vast quantities of oxygen and traps it in an oxide.
Just the part of it we need to live. Tell me, does your forehead feel overexerted? Our muscles produce it when they become oxygenstarved. Nasty, nasty stuff," "Is that why my guns misfired? Such prodigious rates of oxidation are quite simply unheard-of. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and one eye was swollen shut. Seeing the direction of my gaze, Sergeant Murtry narrowed his eyes and said "He fell," "Chicago jails have such slippery.
He said nothing more, but he fixed the officer with his steely gaze, and the hulking cop flushed and turned away. Jif, qq,U tfre cor8itrllp invlte8 to tr scienttflc e. OUto help! Jir 6MPin. Sir Calvin Hammersmith perished in a fire at his Bushy Park home late last night. He was in the process of demonstrating a new scientific apparatus to the sort of cosmopolitan, eclectic audience so familiar to those granted the opportunity to participate in his salons.
This time, however, something went tragically wrong. Hammersmith and known to many in this city for his own scientific demonstrations, gave us this account, refined for public presentation by your reporter.
Hammersmith turned on his 'telluric energy' accumulators. As his special battery apparatus charged, he demonstrated a variety of measuring tools, to chart the movements of what he hoped would be a revolutionary new power source. The moment the batteries reached full capacity, well Dixon became understandably moved.
He valiantly gathered himself after a moment and continued: "Unfortunately, the device exploded. Perhaps it was the. Fire swept through the lab in seconds and spread to the rest of the manor in mere minutes. Curiously, a peculiar ripple effect created a pocket of calm in which some of us sheltered, but those so unfortunate as to stand outside were incinerated instantly. Hammersmith stayed by his machines, desperately attempting to activate dampers or other safety measures.
I must make it clear that at no point was there anything foolish or careless in his demonstration. Indeed, he showed profound courage. His self-sacrifice did, in fact, save us, as in his final minutes some compensatory system damped down the fire for just long enough to let those of us in the calm pocket flee outside.
He turned to join us, but a second surge burst over him. He died on the spot. Thankfully, none of the survivors were seriously injured. Examination in local hospitals showed no major burns or other damage, and individuals suffering trom smoke inhalation and the like were treated and released this morning.
I'Ill Doni9halhas called. He said that Maxwell has been missing since right after the event, and no onehas heard from him at all. I've promised to be on the next boat to London, to look into this disappearancemyself Mrs. Austin will be disappointed, but her jewels can wait. I'll' He's gone, without a trace. I've tracked every false hope, wild goose and red herring in England and have come no closer to finding Maxwell Mercer. Apparently, no one has seen or talked to him since the Hammersmith Affair.
Vonighal cabled me from the rar East, saying he's had no luckand not to waste my time. I've booked passag e on a fast liner back to America. Perhaps Mercer's returned there. I'm a little worried - Mercer's a toughone. Months have passed, and I'm no closerto findingMercer.
I haven't heard from Vonighal in weeks, and the last telegrammakesme think he's giving up as well. I can't keep looking, for other matters requiremy attention. Austin's jewels. Let me write that again - Maxwell Mercer is back.
I can't think of anyoneelse who could have so completely hidden from me for months and then poppedup right under my nose in Chicago. He's been in the care of Vr. Primoris for the lastfew months, but he can't remember how or why he ended up there.
Amnesia saysthe Doctor. I'm not sure, but I think Mercer might have introduced Primoris to me. The Voctor seems familiar, at least, andhasapparently known Mercer for years. We'regoingout for steak tonight, to celebrate the sudden return. Max says he's hadsometime to think and wants me to consider joining him on a new venture.
I'm lookingforward to hearing this. It's good to have my friend back. That was some steak dinner. Max seemed on fire. His grand scheme: gather a group of brave. Whitley," he said to me. It was madness for a single man to take on the Thuggee, all for a lost boy. When I asked why there were women on the list. IBY build their own futures. To that end, '!

Along the way, we will conflict with those wh seek power for its own. We will deal with those people as we come upon them, with mercy where possible and decisive action where not. We are here at the dawn of a new age, and 11m proud to have you with me. Mercer ended the whole argument,pointing out that Annabelle had earned the nickname "Crackshot" for good reason. Stefokowskigrudgingly admitted that Annabelle had saved them in the end and made peace. Tallongrumbled a lot.
Max has been pushing himself nonstop since the first meeting. While half of us were muckingaround in New Orleans, he and that reporter Gettel were off in Haiti battling the undead f'm amazed I just wrote that word. Since he's been back, he's sketchedup a new two-way radio device for 'Professor Dixon to perfed, purchased an office in Londonfor the. I suggested to Mercer that he slow down, and he gave me a typical reply 'This is a bold time,Whitley. Excellently packaged, with evocative illustrations and plenty of flavor to get you ready for a rough-housing romp through a cryptful of Nazis or a race against time to diffuse a bomb aboard a burning dirigible.
Great fun to roleplay, and a fun read, too. May 18, Brian rated it liked it Shelves: gaming. Great setting and the book just ooozes pulpy goodness. The system, however, is White Wolf's Storyteller system, which could be good or bad depending on one's preferences.
