He definitely supports government provided health care and the redistribution of your wealth.
That was the final line in a five minute discussion with Eric about Socialist robots built in Nazi labs in the 30s. I'm not lying, it was pretty funny.
I watched a History Channel (or maybe it was Discovery) show about gangsters during the prohibition era. Poor decision on my part, now I want to be a gangster. I mean, I always want to be a gangster, but now I want to run one in GURPS. GURPS has really awesome automatic fire rules, or at the very least they are fairly inutive. When you fire more shots at a target your chance to hit them is INCREASED. Unlike d20 Modern, where your chance to hit is decreased. The whole thing is based on the Recoil and Rate of Fire statistics of whatever firearm you happen to be using. Good stuff. I would think that a Tommy gun would do more than 2d6+1 damage per hit though. I suppose it doesn't matter though because it does large piercing damage which multiplies any damage it does by 1.5 on living flesh after damage reduction. Bullets hurt. That's another beef Tony and I always had with d20 Modern, after a certain point (level and lucky HP roll-wise) you can take a dozen rounds in the span of six seconds (a round in d20 systems) and not even be winded. In GURPS, if you get hit by a bullet, it fucks you up.
I wonder what it would be like to do something in the vein of the Indiana Jones films in lieu of Reich-5. Kind of like Shadow Chasers meets World War II with a dash of Hellboy. Hellboy is delicious.
Revisions are coming along somewhat nicely on my story. I'm finally starting to get used to the name Keroen and not immediately go "CROMM!" in my head whenever I read it. I'm also finding a lot of spots where I can only shake my head at myself and go "Why the fuck didn't I elaborate on that?" I also have a problem where I constantly use everyone's full name instead of saying he or they or she.
