This sounds hauntingly like Paul, the ol' Fart in our game trying to
grasp the S/R Universe after religiously following Battletech. Also
throw in his being a Champions munchkin for years and you can almost
hear the frustrated sighs of our other players.

'Course he has uttered to other players that if his third character
dies, he'll give up playing S/R. Muhahahahahaha! He just makes it so
darn easy...

(No flames for the other game names, please.)
