It's coming up to the days of the dead in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua,
Mexico, a quick hop over the border from El Paso, Texas. Every day is a
day of the dead in Juárez. In the last 10 years, over 400 women meeting
certain physical criteria have been abducted, raped, and tortured to
death. And that's just the ones whose bodies have been found.

At Gencon this year, I got
to play in a pagan publishing playtest of a WW1 CoC scenario called Dig To Victory, run by Adam Scott Glancy. I just posted
the recording of it to my podcast. It's over 5 hours but it was a blast to
play. Oh and Greg Stolze is one of the players.
I originally posted this on the Unknown Armies list months ago, but
don't remember mentioning it here. A bit on the soft-science side since
I didn't really do any serious research before writing it, but seems

largely been made irrelevant by current events.
One of the most disturbing "superweapon"
projects that the Nazi's pursued was the development of reanimation
technology to bring dead soldiers back to life. For years it's been
rumored that German scientists refined the techniques originally
developed by Herbert West and other fringe scientists, but there's
never been any evidence the research effort actually existed.
