[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 5299124, member: 114"] MA was the first RPG I ever bought, way back when! I loved that evocative cover with the high tech inside and the mutant jungle outside, with the flying snake emerging from the robots head! I still remember the first campaign I ever ran, where a group of mutant adventurers formed their own village community, rescuing people from malevolent communities. I also remember that I completely misunderstood the implied balance between humans and mutants... the fact that human leadership potential was used to work out how to use technology was the balancing factor so that where mutants had their powers, humans could get technology. I remember thinking "Duh, should be intelligence, not leadership for working out tech stuff". In a campaign where humans and mutants can both use technology, guess how many human PCs there were. Ever. :( My first ever self-written RPG used metamorphosis Alpha as the setting too. It was even because of MA that I learned how to draw perfect a perfect elipse with just two sheets of plain paper (thanks Dad!) And only now, I find there are discussion boards for it? I must pay a visit! Cheers [/QUOTE]
