When the Machines Take Over by Bill Walker

It’s political commentary, but something to think about for your futuristic corporate conspiracy games…

D&D Dungeon Generator

This is pretty neat, but seems to only work in Internet Explorer. In Firefox, it showed a bunch of random characters, probably from not recognizing the jpeg it was sending me. I have not tested it in Opera or any other browser.

Greenfish Corporation
Greenfish Relief Map Generator
This utility generates random images which resemble real relief maps. The randomized maps contain settlements with random names, hills, plains, lakes and seasides. The program can generate random town names (which are fictious and do not exist anywhere), or pick them randomly from a provided text file. The generated images are public domain and can be used anywhere.

The truth is out there: National Archives lifts lid on UFO files | Science | The Guardian
Inevitably, the Ministry of Defence papers, released to the public for the first time, will be known as Britain’s X-Files. Over the next three or four years, 160 files will be handed over to the National Archives. Covering 1978 to 1987, the first group of eight files, one of which is more than 450 pages long, is available via its website today.

Neat stuff to use in your conspiracy games.

The military’s plan to regrow body parts. - By William Saletan - Slate Magazine
Yesterday the Department of Defense announced the creation of the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, which will go by the happy acronym AFIRM. According to DOD’s news service, AFIRM will “harness stem cell research and technology … to reconstruct new skin, muscles and tendons, and even ears, noses and fingers.” The government is budgeting $250 million in public and private money for the project’s first five years. NIH and three universities will be on the team.

Hopefully some of this will trickle down to us mere mortals, but it’s still a cool plot point.

The lightweight aluminium exoskeleton, called XOS, senses Rex’s every move and instantly moves with him; it is almost like a shadow or a second skin. It is designed for agility that can match a human’s, but with strength and endurance that far outweigh our abilities.

The future doesn’t seem so far away now, does it?

Paleo-Future: 2063 A.D. Book (1963)
For those just joining us, 2063 A.D. was a book published in 1963 by General Dynamics Astronautics. The book asked politicians, military commanders and scientists to speculate as to where humanity would be, a hundred years hence, in the great push towards space.

Maybe some ideas you can use in your futuristic game…maybe not. Some are rather hokey.
