Hey, hey! I *like* this idea.
I'm slightly familar with Bubblegum Crisis - I think I might even have a DVD
someplace (Must...Not...Watch...Anime...at Work). I have visions of hoverbike
gang-banger racing around downtown streets, blowing the stuffings outta Enforcer
vans and Café Internet patrons...
I could be on-board for some cyberpunk streetfighting. So I'd vote for that over
Matrix-fighting. I'd rather mostly straight-up fighting verses tons of special
power stuff. Plus the faster turns would mean lots of wam-bam action.
Would these personalities be considered Heroes? Are there to be any Heroes? Or
is it nothing but Troopers?
So when are we talking about possibly having a game? July? August? (I don't have
any idea when Brickfest is.) The more advance notice, the more likely I am to
actually make it (although I'm spoken for July 25-27).
I'm really diggin' it.
