My original plan was based more out of BCG 2040, where Boomerism was sort of a disease for the robot servents brought on by an old experimental Boomer model. Having the 'forged be sort of victims in the schemes of some outside force feeds into a whole moral triangle I was trying to set up, which of course included the Lord of Blades as one of the points. The whole 'enemy of my enemy" is genre appropriate, and also plays off the whole moral ambiguity of the setting (is the Lord of Blades the setting's terrorist or its prime liberator and freedom fighter?) which seems to be the theme of the more "serious" of comics (if you can use that word for a comic) However, a faction of subservient, yet easily influenced 'forged will only help to add an extra issue to the whole thing, if only to give the PCs something to sympathize with the Lord of Blades on.The item restriction seems like an interesting idea also. However, I think that most of the characters I have heard something from already are sort of gadget based (One is a Green Arrow/Hawkeye style hero, so he definately needs magic arrows to simulate all the various special arrows that he has) so it might not be appropriate to really limit these characters. The nice thing about the twist of not having direct loot is that the payers don't get to go on huge fantasy shopping trips for gear, which is one of the things I've found that really detracts from the game as a whole.Ray</blockquote>
