What a rotten weekend for Bull to take a trip and be away from the
computer!
Well, I'll see what I can do.
I should have my list of new physad powers based on the fringe abilities
found in Over the Edge ready to post by tomorrow night. :-)
If you haven't taken the time to check out this game, give yourself a
Christmas present and score a copy.
In an odd way, I guess you could even call it a cyberpunk game.
One of the "famous" characters is an AI . . . well, OK, she's actually a
sentient, omnipresent cartoon character named Tiffany Trilobite.
Real life RPG designer "Doc" Smith is also a prominent member of the Cutups
actively promoting chaos and randomness in the universe.
Check this game out, where else can you have a team composed of a drug
crazed vampire, an angel, a snetient toaster, June Cleaver, Purple
Martin-who-is-everyone's-friend, Elvis, Elvis' Ghost, and be chased by a
pack of rabid mutant rat creatures descended from the true race of humanity
- the Glugs.
It's surrealism at it's best, and I think a lot of the atmosphere
translates well into the SR world - plenty of whacked out drugs, criminals
like Mr. Tramh LeThuy - a Vietnamese newspapor vendor whose blood is a
powerful mutagen that changes anyone coming in contact with it into a
nihilistic copy of Mr. LeThuy, strange astral entities that are using our
airports as a gateway into this world, sentient dolphins, and loads of
other goodies.
GET THIS GAME!
