My brain is simply boiling over with ideas from the eye popping riot of stuff over at the Monster Brain blog! These comics came out in the 70s or early 80s. I remember seeing a selection of these bastards when I lived in Boston in the 1990s and not picking them up. I've been kicking myself ever since. There have got to be a metric ton of adventure ideas for Carcosa or any science fantasy game inspired by the 1970s!
WHOA!
Check these out over HERE!
 I have got to talk with the wife about picking me up some of these in the U.K.! My brain is melting! Flipping awesome !
Big Thanks to Monster Brains for finding these!

The Green Skeleton Gaming Haul!


Bill over at Green Skeleton Gaming sent me a box ! Not simply any box but a box of everything game related! This sucker kept on giving & giving  This was a gaming honey hole & I'm forever in his debt. At great expense he sent this out to me. See I don't have a lot of money like a lot of folks & its one of the reasons that I've had to be very creative when it comes to using the public domain resources & when it comes to getting through the OSR stuff that's out there. Bill is definitely one of the good ones along with all of you have supported this blog & me through the years! 
 This is what I was sort of expecting & this is what I got! Please visit Bill right over Here





Thanks very, very much Bill!

High Tech Mysticism & High Caliber Adventure Part 5- The Para Demons For Carcosa

Created by the Space God Darkseid these monsters are sent to overwhelm their targets! Found on the Hell planet  Apokolips. They are chosen from the most sociopathic and cruel residents before being given gliders and trained in combat.
Alignment: Chaotic 
#Appearing:3-12 
Ac:8
Move:9-24 
HD:3
% In Lair :29% 
Treasure:Nil (weaponry may be recovered 20% of the time)
Para Demons are often sent by Darkseid to various planets & dimensions for the subjugation or retreival of a piece of the anti life equitation. These monsters have been know to haunt the ruins of Carcosa for these very reasons. From time to time they have been snatched by the various space alien races for experimentation & mutation into other monsters. Some also have harvested the hormones used in their creation as an additional combat drug for some of the races of men on Carcosa. They will often be found with a wide variety of high tech energy weapons & missiles. Many of these will be of a highly experimental nature & have a 10% chance of randomly exploding during melee. There is a 5% chance that clerics may be able to turn a para demon flock due to the demon blood used in the monsters creation. Some para demons can  speak and seemed to have more than the rudimentary intelligence most Parademons possess. Many have been shown to enjoy being tortured by their  opponents.
More about these creatures can be found Here
Powers 
Typical abilities of a Parademon include heightened strength and a high tolerance for pain. Apokaliptian armor grants them the ability of flight.
