The Firedrake recommends GURPS Reign of Steel: Will to Live for all your killer robot needs.


[Panel 1]
[Nils]
I'm flattered that you want me to
run the killer robots game again,
but I have a bit of a problem
with this character idea.

I mean, psi powers
aren't exactly part
of the background...

[Elizabeth]
It's only a little telekinesis. And
if you're worried about me pulling
robot fuses or something, we can
say it doesn't work on metal.

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
But why do you want it at all?

[Elizabeth]
Blackberries.

[Nils]
Er.

[Elizabeth]
I visited Ma a couple of weeks
ago and helped to pick them.

[Nils]
And you didn't bring any back?

[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
They're soaking in vodka,
waiting to surprise you.

But ANYWAY. Blackberries
are very scratchy.

[Nils]
So you want telekinesis so that
you can get them more easily?

[Elizabeth]
Yup. After almost everyone gets
killed, the things are going to be
growing wild all over England...

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Hmm. All right.

[Elizabeth]
Hurrah!

[Nils]
But you'll be competing
with the robot pickers...

[Elizabeth]
Why do THEY want blackberries?

[Nils]
Good question. How is
your character going to
go about finding out?
