• SW10/WWW: Powernaut 1995 #15: Oh! Powernaut! Save Us!

    From Scott Eiler@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 2 06:12:59 2023
    The factions in New York City have gone nuclear! Only the real
    Powernaut of 1995 can clean that up! Racer Girl knows how to wake him
    up for that. But it's time for a medical truce on the battlefield, and
    that might not go where Racer Girl wishes... Maximum Extremity 1995
    continues!

    Good job with the nuke, Powernaut 1992! I didn't expect to see you back so soon after that. X>

    heh, was he going to stick around to watch the nuke blow up at close
    range? We can presume Megaphone made it back also.

    The whole nuke thing was an idea from one of the characters in my
    role-playing campaign at the time: Total Conversion. Megaphone had
    come from the future, and he got annoyed when the U.S. cracked down on superhumans. So he started broadcasting to aliens to come invade the
    Earth - and he built his own nuke. I had to admit, he could do that.
    But I made him face the consequences in the campaign. Hence, the nuke
    and the alien invasion the Powernaut has had to deal with.

    I'm *still* not sure how that ends with the Powernaut around.

    Usually, getting rid of it takes long enough that that's a danger. X> Not this time!

    Well, I'm looking forward to finding out. n.n
