Weirdo is famous for missing with a nuke.

Since it was orbital..no, he is not famous for missing with a nuke. He hit the planet...
he just rolled bad on the hit location ;)

That was the orbital lasers that I was unable to hit any part of a good-sized battlefield with. It was back when artillery drifted by 1d6*MoF.

I am no longer allowed to use the "My little Protomech" thread to create a Fenspace mech/battlearmor "Heavy Calvary" company
Wolf wins every fight but one, and in that one he dies, his fangs locked on the throat of his opponent.

That's what I keep telling people!

I'm not allowed to challenge customers at work to a Trial of Grievance.

Not even if their account information lists their home address as Wolcott St (not making this up).

I cannot ask a guest if his jaw still hurts. Not even if his name is Victor Ian Steiner and he has a military jacket
with a unit patch that says "revenants" on the shoulder. (No..I am not making this up. I have also had a
Romano Liao, a Galen Cox, and, my personal favourite, a Conal Ward come to my hotel.)

Correction:

I cannot let the PCs know that i did apply upgrades to villians in mid fight to apply the "learnin stick" to PCs.

He is my roommate because he is a gamer and a trusted friend.  She isn't a gamer and has joined a couple of games with us, but despises being called a gamer nerd by her brother, the truck driver.   LOL

Which Leapord, the standard only holds 4 mechs and 2 asfs, the vehicle one only supports 12 vees, the CV only holds 6 fighters, and the PA only holds 4 squads of infantry, 2 small craft, and 2 asfs.

So all options only hold half a company, or maybe a company of halflings?

I am not allowed to demand artists make me a picture of a company of halflings in Battle Armor or face the Grisly Death of a Million Nags.
