    you must be in a mood tonight. Bandai,inc is the corporate home of Sunrise studios, the creators of the Mobile Suit Gundam multiverse and Tiger&Bunny.

    I don't know who Bandaid Surprise is, but unfortunately I doubt it's in my power to keep them away from pins and needles.

    Magicman has no CvK; our gaming group/campaigns leans a lot more to '60's Hanna-Barbera and anime rather than 4-color. The cardboard world scenario equals a gm who is literally telling me to sit in the corner for that game session and/or do not come back for the next game they run.

    All a.r.missiles by definition are fire and forget weapons. US/Nato weapons (HARM, RAF'S ALARM) use fragmentation to shred antennas/vehicles/launchers; Russian arms use 220+pound warheads to crater said sites. ymmv.

    Pretty much. One of our game sessions was called "Taking the Bishy to a S+M Bar." (the pc's ended up raizing the place several sessions later, earning another of the pcs the title of "Worst kidnap victim Ever.")

    Re: Magicman-5E

     

    Background: Life was looking up for Alex Boyden. Sure, he had been born a oversized mutant with a latent ability that kept coming up as unknown on the med scans and drove the healer techs to distraction. But those same scans proved the he was in perfect health, he had a good job on a orbital cargo platform and his shift had won the inter-platform skills contest hands down.

    Then came the rock. One of the SAR teams found Alex in the wreckage, unhurt aside from a couple of bumps. In hard vacuum. Without a suit or a enviro field.

    The next few months went by in a blur. When Alex came back up from all the poking and tests, he was shunted planetside into itinerant worker housing on "survivors leave". There he was,bored near to tears when he was contacted by another doctor with a deal: submit to a experiment that if it worked would grant Alex the power of flight, among others. Alex agreed...

    ... which ended up with him waking up in a nanite regen chamber. The first thing he noticed was that his skin was now a deep slate gray. The second,more important thing Alex saw was that the regen tank was surrounded by PeaceForcers in heavy assault gear.

    A lot of PeaceForcers, who had not been there when the process began.

    During the next long series of tests the story came out. The "good" doctor had stolen and replicated a meta-warrior project Alex's race had abandoned centuries before, and had spent the last twenty standard years trying and failing to make it work. Alex was shown vids of the remains of the doctors first eight tries and the recordings of the original project subjects. All of the original project volunteers had died young; none of the doctors subjects had lived thru the process. Until Alex.

    Some of the scientists and peaceforcers had laughed at him when Alex told them about the doctor's promise of being able to fly as his only reward. After the first firepower demonstrations no one laughed...
