All similarities with any person living or dead is purely cointidential. Laughing out loud

Anyways if you are interested in gigant robots then I recomend you BESM d20 Players Handbook 3.5e (Big Eyes Small Mouth), it provides dinamic and symplified point based d20 system full of Anime goodnes.

Among all things there are artificial being (robots, golems, robogolems etc..) and Gigant Robot class, wich is available to artificial beings race and since BESM d20 is point based sytem GR class is wery flexible and customizable.

It is quite good book, publisher is: "Guardians of Order."

There's also Mechamorphosis, by Fantasy Flight Games- it's actually based around using core D&D 3.5 rules to play/handle giant transforming robots. It's got a few flaws, some bad editing primarily, but for the most part it's pretty good.

The D20 mecha ruleset is really good, mostly (Although I use it to create vehicles, like boats, not transforming robots) there are some flaws, but they're easy enough to adress.

So you all cheer up when it comes to Transformers and I got beaten for mentioning Quidditch! :x

Nah, just kidding. But I never heard of stuff like that; Mecha Player Handbook, Anime d20.. Now tell me, is there something covering up the DragonBall mechanics (not that Z stuff or what the others are called)? I ever liked the original series, seemed pretty original.

Oh, come on, Kay. I didn't beat you. I simply bitched in your general direction a bit. Laughing out loud I'm wont to do that at times.

Plus, be honest, which is cooler: 50ft robot cars or angsty teen wizards?
I believe the answer is *ptew ptew ptew laser noise boom* robot cars.

Nah, seriously though, we need to be more original than simply flooding the setting with poorly disguised copies of pop-culture. I know I'm one to speak, being as original as knock-knock joke, but still.

I don't like neither cars nor robots, so I'd go for angsty teens. Besides who says it would be teens that play it in Sigil? Which leads me to an interesting question: What about kids and teens in Sigil at all? I don't reckon most of it very save to grow up. Mortality must be high especially in the Hive, Market and Clerk Ward are working places and since they make up huge parts of the Cage, no kids there either. Lower Ward? Much to similar to the Hive. Maybe the Lotus and Lady's Ward wouldn't at least be a mortal danger every day. Some small racial enclaves could keep a watchful eye on their fellow kiddos as well.

Uhm, I'm oot again..
