This is pretty well-developed technology. The first Pegasus was launched in 1990.

I have a question. Would people find this useful if this was "edited" a bit and produced as a PDF? Slap a cover image on it, and
....maaaaaybe.....
...rework the stats into (deep breath) 6th ed?
Curious.

Many years ago a friend (Luis) and I went to a small gaming convention on the other side of the state. Luis had found out there was going to be a Car Wars game there, so he and I created a few cars, hoping the GM would okay one of them. No dice (not really surprising, in retrospect -- I'd imagine some players would bring pretty abusive builds to try to slip past someone), and we had to choose from among the GM's selection of vehicles. Not a problem, really, though IIRC they were pretty weak / dull creations.
Anyway, one of the players had never played Car Wars before, so Luis and I decided to take him under our wings - help him understand what he could and couldn't do, give him some advice, and generally avoided shooting at him so he's have a chance to have some fun.
The scenario was basically an arena battle, and was going okay... until the GM decided to roll out his *own* car. A gas-powered high-speed rammer, that he proceeded to use to one-shot take out players' cars. It was an extreme example of "GM-I-Wanna-Play".
As the GM smashed through car after car, Luis was jotting down numbers. And then the GM finally got to the newbie's car - smashing right through it with an instant kill, like all the rest. That's when Luis asked, rather innocently, "How much front armor does that thing have?" The GM gleefully told him, so proud of his creation. And Luis said, "Well, even with a ram plate on the front, by my calculation he should have take X points of damage, so this last ramming would have breached his front armor and damaged his engine pretty badly. His gas-powered engine. Isn't there a chance for it to explode?" He pretty much forced the issue, and as luck (or karma) would have it, the GM's car did explode.
All of the players decided that the newbie had effectively killed the big bad and was the winner of the event. Lots of slapping him on the back and congratulations all around. Luis managed to turn a potentially crappy experience into a good one for that player.

Watched Storks with the boy. Storks have given up delivering kids to deliver packages. They have a human mad scientist who was a baby that grew up in their factory and assigned to the closed mail room. When a letter comes in for a baby, she puts the letter into the baby making machine. Hijinks ensue as the mad scientist and the stork getting ready to be promoted have to deliver the baby before the boss finds out and the stork gets fired.

It is quite difficult to move yourself with constant acceleration (barring jumping out of an upper-floor window).

The awful truth is too awful to be truthful. Or is it too truthful to be awful?

... I think I'm getting a bit childish in my dotage. Didn't we used to have a thread in the Fantasy Hero section that covered more typical fantasy-themed videos?
I just wanted to post this:
Don't play this on too high a volume, it's recorded outside under what seems to be a flight path.
