Doomsday Bunkers on Discovery Channel
Is anyone on here watching "Doomsday Bunkers" on Discovery?
They showed an idea for an above ground pod that would be able to deal with a wide degree of problems (forest pfires, horrible weather, ect.).... and the design of the thing gave me an idea for an underground pyramid shaped headquarters for a character (or a group for that matter). i wish i knew how people get those image captures from their TVs... and i'd have caught one of the design. because the design has me thinking of a large one that would be composed of at least four levels. the small level at the top to hold batteries and circulation system. The second level is where the means of entry to the bunker, and the location of a small weapons locker. the thrid level would be the living level (kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathroom). the fourth level would be for large bulk storage of food, generators and the like. it'd have double the space that the living area would have. The bottom level would have a full weapons locker, workshop and the like that would allow for security and teh like. Also to put a command centre that would be used to monitor the outside hidden cameras and what ever outside news reports that is still broadcasting. The name of the company is Deep Earth Bunkers... and i'm wondering what everyone ehre thinks about my ieads for a defensive bunker... http://www.deepearthbunker.com/bunker... Some of these bunkers are pretty easy to put together over a short period of time. And while these bunkers are more apt to be found in MP campaigns... it's not impossible that some of the cantonments being set up. espeically with how nukes got thrown around during the fighting early in the war. What do you guys think?

Yeah.. the first eps. i saw tonight was developing a bunker for a family of Preppers (well, his son and duahter were all for it... but hs wife wasn't really ppeased with it... until she saw the bunker that they built underground that almost looked exactly like their aboveground house). these kinds of shows are really interesting  We had a 'dungeon crawl' type of game in t2k when we went through a freighter that had run aground on a sandbar. that was... interesting.

The first thing the foundering gamemaster should remember is that you can always fall back on the Dungeon Crawl.
I was asked to run Star Wars d20 at a con. Now, I love Star Wars and I have a passing understanding of how d20 works but I am not a big "Storytelling" GM. So. <s>Dungeon Crawl</s>Pirate-asteroid-base crawl! I wrote a dungeon-crawl for AD&D, switched the "orcs" to B2 Baktoid combat droids, changed the objective to the characters getting a shipment of weapons that a group of rebels fighting the Corporate Sector Authority desperately needed and went with it. Worked really well! Han Solo even made a cameo at the end (for those who know, it was actually the set-up for the beginning of Han Solo At Stars End). No reason you can't do the same in Twilight:2000. Do one in NYC: rumors abound that not all the gold was taken out in Children of the Night, that a vault of it remains in the subways - but they're all flooded...! Except a local warlord has gotten the drain pumps working again and a section is now cleared out, and filled with his own troops looking for the gold, too. The Soviets recently set up an avgas depot deep in the ruins of Krakow - one cleared road in and out out, to escape ground attacks and artillery bombardment by NATO troops. They trucked the fuel in from Romania and have slowly gotten enough of a cache together to get a not inconsiderable amount of air mobility going, and rumor has it they're working on clearing a civil runway for use by tac air FWAC. Only way in to blow the fuel supply and buy the stragglers of the 5th Div. more time is...you guessed it: through the tunnels and sewers beneath the city! ...and so on. The dungeon crawl: Your handy scenario-creating pal!
