Weaver Watch

Keeping an eye on where the Weaver crosses the line. News from the tech world and fringe science, ready-made story nuggets for dropping into your Werewolf campaign.

  • September 22, 2001: RoboRoach. I'm still trying to decide if Father Cockroach approves of this one.
  • September 22, 2001: E-Bomb. This sucker looks nasty. Looks like it generates an EMP without needing a nuclear weapon.
  • September 17, 2001: Purple Potatoes Conquer Europe! From Hungary. Yeah, right. This one smacks of a Pentex secret project all the way.
  • May 15, 2001: Monkeyman Assaults India. Wild. File this one next to el Chupacabra.
  • May 11, 2001: Son of the Clone of the Bride of Dracula. Yeah, like we need another copy of the most famous leech in the world.
  • May 9, 2001: Uproar Over Biotech Salmon. Something to keep an eye on. A sneaky plot against the Gurahl?
  • March 8, 2001: NASA Builds AT-AT. I gotta get me one of these to prance around the Caern here.
  • March 8, 2001: Mutant Fungus Eats Mir! Gaia only knows what foul Wyrm-spawn is coming down with that poor space station.
  • March 1, 2001: Glow-in-the-dark Moths! There's only one way this story can end. And it involves Godzilla and two tiny Japanese girls...
  • March 1, 2001: The Mice of NIMH. "What are we gonna do tonight, Brain?" Actually, it sounds like a simple processor upgrade...
  • February 23, 2001: Wolf Cull in Norway. Additional reports seem to indicate the hunters are having a hard time finding the troublesome wolves.
  • February 2, 2001: Spoat! Goats gene-spliced to produce spider silk? This one's got Weaver written all over it.
  • February 2, 2001: Set Phasers to Stun. Non-lethal ultraviolet laser weapons. When Tasers just don't cut it.
  • January 18, 2001: Ministry of Deliverance. The Church of England has its own Order of Leopold (aka The Inquisition).
  • January 16, 2001: Infiltration. The latest urban extreme sport: checking out abandoned buildings and secret places. Interesting article chock full of great links. Good stuff for anybody running a city campaign.
  • January 16, 2001: Weaver In the Oval Office? Did the US just elect some sort of Weaver drone as their president? Conspiracy theories abound.
  • January 12, 2001: Power Armor! Just the sort of thing Corporate Security at Pentex might be evaluating...
  • January 7, 2001: Astronomers Take Over Abandoned NSA Base. A high-tech facility in the middle of a forest preserve? Sounds like a fine place for some technically-minded Garou to set up shop. [Yeah, it's a dead link. But it's soooo cool. Anybody able to find me a new link to this story?]
  • January 3, 2001: Places to Hide In the UK? The UK made a survey of underground shelters following WWII. Wonder if any BSD hives were uncovered?
  • December 22, 2000: Myths Over Miami. Yeah, it's over three years old, but I just ran across this link. And it gives me the chills. Urban legends among homeless children.
  • December 19, 2000: Saddam Stockpiling Playstation 2s? Wild. So why can a mass-murdering dictator get a crateful of these things, but my local Toys R Us is out?
  • December 10, 2000: Native Americans Struggle With Their Culture. The story's from Grand Rapids, Michigan, but is still fine reading material for any American-themed Werewolf game.
  • December 6, 2000: Deadly Cell Phones. Not only will this model distract drivers and give them brain cancer, but they can shoot you with it.
  • November 28, 2000: Cyborg Fish in London. Not to be outdone by a mere monkey, this time it's a robot with the brain of a lamprey. How long before they pull this off with Aibo?
  • November 18, 2000: Japanese Soldier Tells Court Horrors of Unit 731. This case involves the Japanese WWII bioweapons unit, which has been accused of some pretty ghastly things.
  • November 17, 2000: Carnivore is a Hungry Beast. Some details on the FBI's data sniffer, codenamed Carnivore, and its insatiable appetite.
  • November 15, 2000: Monkey Brain Controls Robot! I think the title says it all. Though one has to wonder how long it will take for the robot to start climbing skyscrapers and swatting helicopters...
