The Goonies is a movie I remember fondly from my childhood. I have watched it many times throughout the years and have shared it with my kids, too. The movie captures the wonder, excitement, and danger of being a child...with pirates...and crooks. Will the game? Let's find out.
Influential horror fiction author H.P. Lovecraft said, "Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity." In this game, each player is the leader of an underground cult who is attempting to be the first to summon a Shoggoth, which is an altogether bad idea. Seriously bad.
When it comes to gold, pirates will do anything. "Risk it all to take it all" is the pirates' motto. They'll jump through fire to grab a gold piece and sail to unknown shores to find more. A pirate counts their worth not by deeds, but by the weight of their treasure. In this game, a player wins by simply being the richest, but that is not an easy task when surrounded by pirates.
The elders of the village took no risks. They hired as many bounty hunters as they could and told them where the monster could be found. At sunset, the bounty hunters walked into the monster's abandoned mansion. Somewhere in this building was their prey. Unknown to the bounty hunters, the monster they sought was standing among them and eager to hunt, as well.
Upon casual observance, the life of a cat would appear to be dull. The most a cat can hope for is a warm sunbeam and a high perch to lazily observe their domain. In truth, cats have exciting lives full of hunting, combat, comradery, and jovial fun. It's what people don't observe that is most interesting. Join a cat on their adventures to see just how exciting a feline's life can be!
For the robots in Coal Pit 12A-4, life was an endless job of digging up the ground. Then something happened. Instead of coal, one of the robots found a mysterious black crystal the radiated power and the promise of a better existence. For the first time, each robot felt greed and an overpowering need to own the black crystal. Emotions were not part of their programming.
