Ananeosi [GURPS 4e]

Ananeosi

This mid-level medical corporation provides fertility assistance, primarily in the field of in vitro fertilization and embryonic implantation procedures. Ananeosi also does cutting-edge research into genetic engineering (as much as any research can be said to be ‘cutting edge’ on Homeline, these days). In terms of operations, the company is not particularly unusual or controversial, for its type.

However, in terms of raw materials, Ananeosi is very avant-garde indeed. The company specializes in acquiring out-time genetic material for its customers. It’s not exactly ‘designer babies:’ Ananeosi is at the same TL 8/9 safetech paradigm as the rest of Homeline. But they can and do accommodate special requests, to the best of their ability.

IOCANE Powder [GURPS 4e]

IOCANE Powder – Google Docs Download

IOCANE* Powder
*Invasive Operations (Clinical, Advanced Nano-Engineering)
(TL 11)

It typically comes in powder form; why, yes, it can be fairly said that IOCANE powder is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and can certainly be programmed to be among one of the more deadly poisons known to Man. It can be programmed to do a lot of things, in fact. That’s sort of the point. Each dose of IOCANE Powder is programmed to duplicate the effects of any drug or poison known at TL9 or below. Changing the ‘load’ on a dose of IOCANE Powder requires a Complexity 6 computer (this would be a high-end supercomputer at TL9, and a cufflink-sized computer at TL11) and the right program. $150 per dose, LC 4: it’s supposed to be regulated, but getting a permit for use on primitive planets is dead easy.

Also, the Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2 Kickstarter is at 69%.

More specifically, the Powered by GURPS: Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2 & Game Reprint Kickstarter. It’s getting a little close to the wire, there. I suppose that maybe I should internally commit to running GURPS at WashingCon. Especially if I skip 2020 to go do DragonCon instead.

The Citadel at Nordvorn Kickstarter is so close.

The Citadel at Nordvorn Kickstarter (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy, third party) is so very close. It may even clear by the time this posts, which would be nice. I had fun running its predecessor at WashingCon; haven’t decided yet whether to run GURPS again this year, but if I do this it will probably be from this module.

…On second thought, why wait? I know I’m getting the hardcopy anyway.

Garner [Quantum 6]

In Reality Garner, President-Elect Franklin Roosevelt was assassinated in 1933 by Giuseppe Zangara, just like in the highly dangerous Reich-5 timeline. But unlike on Reich-5, Vice-President Elect John Nance Garner then went on to have two reasonably effective terms before handing over the Presidency to Republican Wendell Willkie in 1940. It’s now 1942, and Willkie is busy fighting World War II. The war is going roughly the same as it did on Homeline, and there’s no real indication that the Allies are going to lose the war against the Axis.

So it’s amazing how flat-out nasty the out-time interference is getting. There’s already been sabotage, skullduggery, corruption, and even a couple of suspicious deaths among Infinity personnel, with no end in sight. And note that this is all internal; the usual fight between Infinity and Centrum over the Garner timeline is positively civilized by comparison.
