RennPunk!

Based on the article about him in Coilhouse, this is punker than Cyberpunk 2020.  And it gives me horrible terrible ideas for a game.

No kidding.  We have here a badass mercenary captain who, in 1504 loses his arm, and gets it replaced by a masterpiece mechanical iron hand, one that lets him fight, gamble and write.  He's also bad enough that he coins the phrase "kiss my ass" in response to a bishop.  And probably gave him the mechanical finger.




So now I'm dreaming of a hardened, amoral mercenary unit during the hundred year's war, kept supplied by spring-powered artificial limbs by a reclusive genius.  Combat arms, legs with internal holsters, eye patches with dart launchers...how far could you push this?

Dibs on being the double-amputee camp follower that looks like Angelina Jolie encased in lead, whose legs are functioning mortar cannons.

As usual, you manage to completely terrify me with the character concepts you come up with in response to my game ideas.
