In 2065, a secret supersoldier project resulted in the creation of the first hybrids.
Despite sucessfully splicing human DNA with that of various different species of animal, only two main types of hybrids were mass produced – the primates of the Silva variety and Cat type hybrids. To this day, these two are seen as synonymous with the entire hybrid program.

After we talked about a few aspects of copyright related to role playing games there were a number of comments defending the stated cases on behalf of the users of protected content. This offers a brilliant introduction to another aspect of the debate. Continue reading
When they hear the word “company killer” most people think of a cold blooded manager of death, an augmented killing machine, a scalpel to surgically remove critical problems – permanently.

After looking at criminal and military characters, our theme for the third and last instalment of our The Red Star advanced classes series is espionage – somewhat fitting for a Cold War inspired setting.

In Germany there seems to be no more prominent and hotter topic than the discussion about copyright in the era of the internet. In our country, this is certainly related to rise of the Pirate Party, but also in other countries there is much commotion.
