Bingo! I have yet to find an RPG that provides a satisfactory vehicle combat system for basically the reasons you've listed here. I don't mean to discourage the OP, but this is a golden opportunity for them to come up with something fun.

Are you talking about that terrible movie starring Brigitte Nielson as Red Sonja and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Not Conan? Okay, I can't lie because I've got a soft spot in my heart for that movie too, but it seems like thin source material for a game. Like Deathstalker, it's less of a game and...

I think Palladium already made that game. It was originally called Night Spawn before Todd McFarland sued them, forcing them to change it to Nightbane.

Here’s hoping Brian and his grandfather fair winds to Nassau.

It’s funny how perspective can change over the years. I loved Adam West’s Batman as a kid, was too cool for it as a teen, but as an old man I can once again appreciate it for what it is.

I saw an interview with Dirk Benedict and he was talking about the A-Team. He jokingly said, "Sorry, George. They were there for Mr. T," in reference to Mr. T stealing the show. Incidentally, the A-Team was the first show from my childhood I noticed had aged poorly. It ran until 1987, but I...

B.A. is my favorite because he was played by Mr. T. As a child of the 80s, I can't help but love Mr. T.

It didn't hurt that The Motion Picture was about 25% Enterprise porn with the camera lovingly caressing it for an inordinate amount of time. That's probably what did it for a lot of us right there. I'm with the refit being the best looking ship as well. One of the reasons I like it is it...

I was nine when New Coke came out and after nearly 40 years I can't remember what it tasted like. Look, we're not all Europeans. Those of us rockin' in the free world demand ice!

In the Before Times, pre-COVID, I ran a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game using Savage Worlds. Set in the near future, mutant animals were much more common, but they were treated as property for the most part and were fighting for their rights. The central conflict of the game was the rights...

The Boris Vallejo poster is the best thing about the movie. Okay, the second best thing if you count the nudity. I don't judge people for what they like. Mainly because that would require self-introspection on my part and I would be forced to admit I like a lot of really, really stupid stuff...

I like nudity and violence as much as the next person, but aside from those two things, I can't think of anything else Deathstalker offers. The movie was devoid of compelling characters, a compelling story, compelling dialogue, and the stunt work wasn't particularly memorable either. A...

I want to roleplay something different from my normal experience. That's why I like to play average Joes.

The neat thing about those BTech minis is you're painting in a different scale. Was works for 28-32mm just doesn't work exactly the same for 10-12mm (or whatever scale BT is supposed to be). It's hard to be both subtle and visible with effects at that scale.

I just listened to Everyday People about two weeks ago for the first time in years. I always loved that song.

Pepsi is a bit sweeter.

I typically call it a Coke but sometimes I'll say soda, pop, or soda pop. When I say soda pop people around here tell me, "You ain't from around here. Are you, boy?"

It's great to hear from someone who was there. You're like a living artifact? Did you actually have any qualifications to be an editorial assistant when you were hired? I ask because I was quite impressed with what sounded to me like people just jumping in and essentially training themselves...

I'm going to define exceptional as being atypical, or outside the norm, so in that sense the PCs in most every game are exceptional people. Even in a game like Call of Cthulhu, where all the investigators are "regular people," just being willing to investigate and combat supernatural, sanity...
