[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 500658, member: 529"] [B][/b] Congratulations on the little one. Tell your stories if you have time. [b] [/b] None taken here. I think though that he would have a hard time taking over most of America. I could see the Cyberpapacy reality popping up all over the place, just like most religions, and taking a foothold via the Internet/Godnet everywhere. Cyberpapacy missionaries would be all over the place. And I really think the Cyberpope would target the Vatican first though to get some legitimacy. (Can't remember if he actually did that in the old campaign) The true Pope would probably have to flee Rome, at least until it's freed by some Storm Knights, and the Cyberpapacy would be a tough cosm to defeat, since it would be spread out, yet would be able to marshal forces quickly through the Godnet. [b][/b] Mechas! That's a good idea for them. I think techologically Nippon Tech was supposed to be just ahead of us, but adding mechas would make a lot of sense in any case. Adding some Godzilla sized monsters would be a good reason for mechas to exist in the first place... you wouldn't really have to replace them though. Their technology could still be somewhere ahead of us, but not as fantastic as the Cyberpapacy, except with respect to mechas, which the CP wouldn't be able to produce (world laws might be needed to enable the creation of mechas). I really like the treachery and corporate aspects of that setting. The only thing about it is that I don't think there was enough Hong Kong action film influence. More wuxia would have been better.
