Try google image searching for "custom colt 1911", a lot of fancy ones turn up.

Imagine my surprise as a dumb nerd who plays too much Fallout when I was in DC a couple months ago and came across it in person.

Just out of curiosity which system are you going to be using? West End Games, the GURPS conversion, Savage Ghostbusters, or what?

Personally, I think the last one is perfect for a ghost car in Detroit. Mercury Marauder, fully blacked out. Being close (identical) in body style to the Crown Vic just lends it a kind of twisted authority that mirrors darkly the police presence (or lack of).

Whenever I run somebody through the magic that is a Ghostbusters One-Off, I have them start by checking out the basement from the prolouge of John Dies at the End. poo poo fills the room, the doorknob turns into a limp penis, and a meat monster comes out of the freezer, among other things.

"Detroit" and "ghosts" makes me think that the place would be an almost endless phantasmal torrent of dead homeless people who froze to death during the cold winters. :smith:

The old Boblo boats are looking pretty spooky, and the ruins of Boblo Island might make a cool setting for a haunting.

Of course Detroit is ripe with spooky places to explore, I set my first (and only) WOD campaign on Zug Island. But there's plenty of settings for busting ghosts around Detroit that aren't abandoned factories, though. Like imagine if poltergeists took over the Heidleberg Project...


...or the ghost of millionaire egomaniac James Scott rose up from his throne overlooking the fountain he built on Belle Isle to wreak havok on the city.

A smartly dressed scientist robot: high five bro.
I've been slowly pushing myself into the potential abyss of GMing a game of Lacuna, AKA That One Storygame Thing About Dreams and Russian Spidermen And Stuff. Thing is, I don't have many good pictures for the main antagonists, the Hostile Personalities that are supposed to be like subconscious parasites or whatever that pop out of their hosts chestbuster style. I have some decent pictures, but most of the stuff that could apply either ends up all looking too human with little difference or is all gory and "edgy" rather than legitimately terrifying.

So basically, I need horrifying and potentially grandiose forms of subconscious horrors/Personas that turn people into Law & Order/CSI criminals, in all their varied glory.

Also, while we're at it, feel free to slide me your best weird Inception-scapes and the most Bureaucratic Nondescript Government Agency Members you got...as well as other appropriate strangeness. Also potential mugshots for dossiers would be nice, but I can probably fish for some myself that could work.

Blackbeard was known for tying slow-burning fuses into his beard and hair that he'd light when going into battle, because the smoke and fire made him look like the devil.

If you're talking about the fuses in his hair: Blackbeard would put slow-burning, high-smoke fuses in his hair just to add to the intimidation factor. Imagine being boarded by someone perpetually clouded in smoke. Pretty scary!
