The thing that amuses me is that I loved the basic setting May came up with- with some of the things you noted- but I didn’t particularly care for the series itself and didn’t finish reading it. But it always struck me as a setting ripe with adventure hooks for an RPG.

No, I understood instantly.👍🏽 And I’ve had to point out incidences of 1488 to others, like on a topographical map on the wall of Black Rifle Coffee. And no, it’s not a coincidence- there’s nothing approaching that elevation in the area, so it’s a dog whistle hiding in plain sight.

I was one, since the first book.🤷🏾

I like a good martial arts campaign. You can really have a blast with them. I briefly ran one in HERO that was centered around a martial arts combat competition in which weapons were allowed; killing was permitted but not required. I had a DMPC who was based on the blind master archetype...

Specialized power armors aren’t usually flexible, though. Iron Man’s first stealth armor was less durable and had fewer, less powerful weapon systems. His first orbital-ready armor was similarly light on offense. As I recall, several of his (again, early) hulk-buster suits depended less on a...
