Quote:Worse. One of the main team members for the second half of the 1980s was a character from the show.
...Oh good lord, it IS what I thought it was.
So the Warriors are in contact with Third Earth?
I want to emphasize that this is not my fault. One member of the gaming group was a rabid fan, for reasons I could never understand, and insisted on playing him. Worse, she played him (yes, she played him) in a way that was substantially inconsistent with his character in the original source material. But she had fun, and we had fun, and it didn't really matter at the time, although there was some eyerolling behind her back when the characterization warps got especially egregious. (Literally "tomcatting" around with human women was one of the worst; then there was the double-zero she got on his "did I get my girlfriend pregnant?" roll...)
Anyway, when I wanted to tell a serious story using the Warriors' World setting as my root background... Well, I have tried very hard to obscure the parts of the series that became anchored in WW, and to avoid mentioning this character in the story; where I do, I use the name I gave a very loose analogue to him that appeared in my book GURPS International Super Teams: "White Tiger" (or "Whyte Tyger", depending...).
Yes, that means what it implies about the Meeranon. God help me.
