And that doesn't even touch on the weirdness that was the U of MN Minneapolis campus's Tate Physics Labs building in the 80s. They still had an Atom Smasher and a discarded NASA satellite control station in the sub-sub basement. And three unassembled bombers that were procured for their titanium con...

Underground Lair Really. A link to google maps.

Note that you don't have to remove the mines, you just have the physicists move in to the useful and mostly abandoned underground facilities as they actually did.  You just need to crank up the weird science from 9 to 11.

Northern Minnesota has the Tower Soudan Mine projects from the High Energy Physics Department at the U of MN.  I can assure you that it was active in the 80s having had my own very weird adventure 25 levels or so underground.  Not to mention the ties to a facility deep under a mountain in France tha...

It has been interesting to discover all of the things we took as normal when growing up that the youngster was like, 'H...

So I've decided to set the game I'm running at Brookhaven National Labs.  It is on Long Island and not far from New York City. We've met once to make characters, and we're going to play again. I've a long list of places that the players might find useful to summon a scene in. I thought there might b...
