Today is the best day of my life! Well, maybe not the BEST, but it's certainly up there.
My good nerd/friend Robert has, in an attempt at ultimate nerdiness, written the rules for a Mortal Kombat RPG. Tonight was our 2nd session, and so far it's a huge success. My character, hailing from the realm of Kaos, turned traitor. Our band of misfits, who were originally allied with Dark Raiden, decided that he was getting too... fatal for us. So when he challenged Cindel, Jade, and Bo Rai Cho for command of Cindel's army, we all sided with Cindel. When her soldiers had been killed, and we were set upon Raiden. Instead of attacking the thunder god, I turned on Adam, and KICKED HIM IN THE FACE! He got a few hits in, but I decimated him, and had him KOed with 4 hits (because I'm twice as strong as any of the characters [but much slower]). The Travis, seeing what I'd done, disengaged from Kenshi (who'd sided with raiden) and tried to attack me with a wind vortex. He hit me once, and I KOed him with a kick to the chest and a punch to the torso. Then I reached down his throat and ripped out his lungs, for a beautifully stunning fatality.
It was momentous!
I am a golden god!
