Alternity

Don't ask what I think about Bill Slavicsek (seriously, don't ask!), but he helped bring the cool but short-lived Alternity RPG to life in the '90s. I learned today that Alternity is coming back, and you can even download the playtest rules for the new edition!

Of course, Bad Ash is not as quotable as Good Ash (i.e., "the guy with the gun"), but he does have a couple of good lines.
