Mari begins to question the motives of the people. Prince Argon and his few remaining bodyguards scamper into a safehouse. Overhead, grav-powered weapons platforms join the armored men wearing the hover packs. His troops-the Dog Soldiers-seek out royalty.Īrtillery trucks appear on the street. A warlord, dressed in black armor, has the people behind him. Those fleeing are the hereditary ruler, Prince Argon, and his sister, the Princess Mari. Armored troops, called Dog Soldiers, hunt for those on horseback. Small arms fire lights up the atmosphere. You realize that the city is in full blown riot. In the distance behind them, men in powered armor and hover-packs-sporting these large, torso-sized fan blades extended from the central backpack on stabilizers-chasing those on the ground. A group of people fly down the street on horses. What's so cool about the Micronauts? It's SPACE OPERA, man! It's an excellent space operatic saga. Had I the energy and drive, I'd create a game from scratch using the Open D6 rules for the mechanics, and the original Marvel comic books for the universe/background. Today, as I read again the saga of the 'Nauts, I can't help but think how this would be a fantastic setting for a roleplaying game. By 7th grade, comics were a thing of the past (until I rediscovered them as an adult about five years ago). I was reading Micronauts in Elementary and the first part of Junior High. I wasn't introduced to D&D until high school. I didn't know if my aging adult self would like the book the way I did back when I was riding my bike down to the local store for a coke, a candy, and a comicbook.īack in the Day, when I was reading it, I hadn't become a roleplayer. I ended up tracking down the complete series on eBay, and I am currently reading it. A friend turned me onto it, and it was a great read. I couldn't believe, even back then, that I loved it! I loved it from issue #1. Who would have thought? A toy line, for which I was too old to really appreciate, is the feature of a comicbook series. And, I loved how Marvel brought the series to a satisfying end in the last issue.Īnother book I remember loving is the Micronauts. I read the complete Marvel run of Battlestar Galactica, and it was excellent! The stories were fantastic. I've been in a retro comics mood lately, reading some of the titles that excited me in my youth. Posted: Fri 1:01 pm Post subject: D6.And The Micronauts!
