March 2022 Superdraft: the Big Toys Draft


Cancer

Recommended Posts

Since the Sonic Screwdriver is gone, Dr. Arroway will be using...

 

One other item of personal equipment : A Federation tricorder.

 

I can't find an image right at the moment, but the preferred version would be the one from Star Trek: Discovery that is worn on the wrist and projects a heads-up display in the air in front of you.

I believe that is different…the item chosen and the description provided. Could you clarify? 
 

(because I feel there is a ‘drats’ coming along, and I may want to wiggle out of it if I can)

would you prefer Stormbreaker? 

 

No, Mjolnir is fine. I guess if nothing else, Batman could fly it over someone's head in his Bat-airplane then use the Bat-Laser on his utility belt to cut a ring around Mjolnir through the bottom of the plane so it'd drop on the villain's head. :D

You are assuming that this Bruce, has a Batplane. As it hasn’t been drafted yet, you may assume too much. Plus, this is a Sheriff Bruce, so is deemed worthy.

After further research, I'm afraid I have to confirm your 'drats'. The tricorder and hologram-based HUD are actually functions of the 32nd century Delta Badge, which also includes comms and transporter functions. 

 

Sorry, mate. Blame Old Man for taking the Sonic Screwdriver!

"Since you will be required to travel to little known regions of the galaxy, we have provided you with the best available information source."

She looked down at the item: it resembled a largish electronic calculator which looked insanely complicated. It had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square.

She was relieved to see, however, that it had the words "DON'T PANIC" inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 

Sniped!

I considered that as well, what with it being slightly cheaper and having the words "Don't Panic!" on the front cover.

Oshit.


I figure it could be worse.

Oh I do. He started this little chain reaction.

  • one home base, which must be anchored to the ground or space-time or something.  While it might be in a fixed orbit, or be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere, such "motility" is highly restricted.  As an example: Deep Space 9 is a base, but Enterprise NCC-1701 is a starship.

  • one Spaceship or Aircraft  Doc Smith's Skylark  

  • one Land Vehicle.  FESS from The Warlock in Spite of Himself

  • one Water Vehicle.  Similar comment about living creatures being disqualified.

  • Personal ranged weapon: Green Lantern Power Ring

  • one melee personal weapon

  • one other item of personal equipment (armor, sensory apparatus, fly-belt, love philtre, universally useful trinket, nonsentient computer, food/drink synthesizer, whatever)

  • one magic spell, incantation, mathematical theorem, or similar created tool/weapon/capacity with no material component John Taylor's third eye. (From the Night Side, this is Taylor's ability to find things, even weaknesses in shields.)  

  • one book, scroll, tome, map, database, recording, or similar read-only fixed-content knowledge store.

  • one nonliving* robot, android, or other sentient artificial nonliving character, though it may not be easy to distinguish from a living being

  • one inventor/artificer/gadgeteer character.  This is your nominal hero, and must be a living* biological creature, though not necessarily human

  • one free option ... possible uses include a sidekick, or perhaps a hero who uses a bunch of this stuff, could be another spiffy piece of equipment that doesn't fit easily into any of the above slots, or perhaps you want a second battleship or something, or maybe your hero wants to ride a horse (and a living horse does not qualify as a Land Vehicle).  Creative uses of the option pick are encouraged.  The free option cannot be among the first six items picked.

I picked Fess as my land vehicle, but he could also qualify as a robot ally. I think I am going to change that to the robot ally.

I have the books by Michael Moorcock. And of course the Deities and Demigods book that introduced them. You could have Mournblade which is the twin.

 

I, too, have the books by Michael Moorcock.  And you know as well as I that Mournblade is less cool than Stormbringer.
