When we played M.E. we streamlined the hell out of combat, but kept the hit determination with the overlays for those times that we wanted 'gritty' determinations during close quarters combat... We really liked the character generation, and when i found the books online, it made me remember fondly the work I had done for the company back then (and reminded me why my deeply felt personal belief that J.M.S. might be a great writer, but is a major jerkass is so correct).

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
