I know you weren't a fan of MSH but this game (and the total Westernization of the setting) seems to me to be even less your kind of game. Once again though, the system and some side issues prove to be no real obstacle to running a fun campaign. <br /><br />That said I'm guessing if you did run another it would be in Mekton?Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-68818596934815119842016-02-17T11:28:42.489-05:002016-02-17T11:28:42.489-05:00As you may remember, the Robotech RPG campaign in ...As you may remember, the Robotech RPG campaign in which I played in college was one of my all time favorites. It's too bad I don't seem to have the detailed notes about PC's that you do, but no one was thinking of that at the time.WQRobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436898737750581192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-12695294941175973092016-02-16T23:03:00.580-05:002016-02-16T23:03:00.580-05:00Holy guacamole! Looking back over my papers I just...Holy guacamole! Looking back over my papers I just realized that Jack "The Ripper" Smith was actually my second major character in Robotech. <br /><br />Jack was a descendant of my very first character John Smith (yeah, I know, real original names from a 14 year old). He was nicknamed due to his rather efficient use of claws that he received after being experimented on by the Invid (he ended up looking like Beast from the X-Men) coupled with the results of a couple of events of my first character. He gave up the use of his claws once he got the nickname since he considered their use "un-human". He was actually based during Invid Invasion and helped to secure an alliance between humans and the Invid by marrying one of the later stage human looking ones. He was also a badass Hover Tank pilot.<br /><br />John Smith was the reluctant hero type (pretty unsure of himself much like an early teen new to RPGs) while Jack was a bit of an ass. Jack was bitter, cynical, and an attempted alcoholic (he had an indestructible liver thanks again to the Invid) before turning into a decent human being.

I have the original book we first used along with my first character, Jack "The Ripper" Smith. "The Ripper" being the nickname he gained after a rather gruesome encounter with a Zentradi foot soldier and one that he hated his entire career. He even chewed out the commander of UN Spacy (a former squad mate of his and my brother's character) for using it during the ceremony for his promotion to General. It was also shortly after he lost an eye so he may have been extra cranky. Monkapotomushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15863829877299943297noreply@blogger.com
