Yes... and if you believe that, I have a bridge you might want to buy.
I've been a dinosaur nut since I was an ickle kid, and I've yet to see any real proof of that. Still, thats a discussion for another time.

Sorry, the counterpoint I would have accepted is "Well, smart guy, technically speaking, birds ARE reptiles, so suck on that."
I'm not going to fall into the "technically" trap because "techically" anything is possible. I accept others views but for me the birds = dinosaurs doesn't hold water.
BTW the link is dead for some reason.

I need some thoughts about what to do with the Paranormal entry. Prior to Nightmares the only monsters to have this keyword were Corp. Commander, Corp. Response R E V, Ghostfinder R E V, Major Harper, and Scrubber R E. Now with Demon Bunny having the keyword I'm not sure what to do with the entry.
Any ideas?

Well, everyone knows that monsters are afraid of Bunnies. Paranormal researchers tried to create a genetically enhanced rabbit to help track down the creatures of the night. The experiment did not quite go as planned.

You sir, may have just hit upon a great idea. Thank you.

What Nightmares figures inspired you to change the Fury keyword? I've never seen it on anything other than a vengeful spirit type. I always assumed it was named after the Greek Furies, which would fit with the vengeful spirits thing.
