Mostly Yes. But ultimately, ALL of it is a religious thing.

They showed that version in the show I was watching actually. The one
problem is that in most cases, the paper based models/cutouts had to be
assembled afterwards. The resin-based ones were assembled as they were done.
It was cheaper material-wise, probably. But "easier" in the long run, not
IMO at least (shrug).

Bernie will be latest in chaos for our group. The roving Medical Drone,
doing in-field Biotech work using portable medkits and the like (HI LADYJ!!!
You and I know what I mean!!!). Ike goes around cleans up messes the party
makes as they are being made. And Kenny...well, Kenny does just about
fragging everything by now. Anthroform drone on an evil scale. Truly Evil..
It was so bad I actually *played* Kenny as a character in last Sunday's
game, simply because Padre is off working on some "slays-the-monster-once"
type of foci for *THIS* Sunday's game.... It was a riot. Didn't actually
think I had it in me to play something like that....
