Can't scavenge much in the way of useable clothes, gear, or hide, either.

Nope.. Use plasma weapons on those things. Burn the remains. Only way to be sure (As in Rifts you can't get into Orbit to Nuke um from there)

Nah, I'm just not a bacteriovore, nor does my merely mortal digestive system handle neurotoxins well.

JapaneseChinese style food cart.
Wondering if is moved at night?
I hate it when my mind wonders,
Because I have no idea what it will bring back with it.

Perfect example of the small-time outlet with the big time franchise sponsor. :ok:

One of the problems with driving a Food Cart is....

Is the need for more SPEED during that's time... :?

For a really twisted version, you could run a food cart/truck in Atlantis which specializes in exotic sentient species.

when I played a succubus in a d&D ish campaign she came up with a couple magic items that were kind of off... both used a variation of melphs plentiful potion.

one was the Kobald in a can ... you opened the can and out jumped a live kobald... low level fighters and such loved it (at least so I claimed) they would kill the kobalds for xp

the other for monsters, was the peasant under glass... (for when company comes over unexpectedly and you have to come up with something to feed them)

And there's always the meat-vendor with the catapult capable of tossing a live human into the air, so that dragons and other flying monsters can catch lunch on the fly. :twisted:

That's why under 'Range', I included 'Megaversal'.
All the way from the streets of Chi-Town to the hallways of Center and beyond!
Be the first foodcart to make it to Olympus! :D
