During one of my less sober nights, I thought: "Hey, the Hypermode system in MP3 is pretty good, and we already have precedence that magic exists in it (Byyro), so what would happen if I mixed it and D&D?" This train of thought was not eliminated by the hangover, so I came up with this: The PCs are residents on a typical fantasy world when a Leviathan Seed impacts in the vicinity of their location. They survive, but with brand-new Phazon growths and mutations. Soon, they make a rather eventful contact with the Galactic Federation (ie boss fight with Samus), and are soon drafted into destroying both their Leviathan and a few others, and hopefully destroying the new Phaaze (this takes place after MP3), all while trying to deal with A)The fact that they are not the so-called pinnacle of civilization (in fact the actual pinnacle-the GF-thinks they're rather primitive), and B)Trying not to succumb to Phazon madness. Complicating the matter are the Space Pirates (they aren't going to let their new source of Phazon go to waste easily), GF politics (democracy means that every idiot has a right to an opinion), Metroids (SCREEEE!), and a certain female bounty hunter that still hasn't forgiven them after causing her to lose all her upgrades...again.
So what do you guys think? What about some good sympathetic villains who where "corrupted" of their own free will? How would you go about creating mechanics for Hypermode? Should I give the PCs their own Hunter Armor? How awesome do you think it would be to feature fight against a Phazon-mad Gold Dragon?
For those of you that are wondering how I am going to adapt the Metroid lore to D&D, I'll just say that like a certain Imperium, the GF can't keep track of all it's planets, and tends to forget about some for a few milennenia, and the PCs come from one of those more "magic-rich" worlds. That, or I could be more forgiving and say that the PCs are descendants of a human fleet that crashed on their world and the GF thought they were dead. Either way, magic caused them to split into different sub-races, and they eventually forgot the ways of science.
And for those of you who wonder why Ms. Aran would shoot upon seeing the PCs...
Step 1) Samus walks into room with PCs.
Step 2) Sees natives obviously suffering from Phazon mutation.
Step 3) Samus thinks: "Oh joy, more Phazon-mad monsters (Note from Leliel: They aren't, but she doesn't know that) for me to vaporize. And I just refilled my energy tanks too. Oy."
Step 4) Blam
Step 5) Blam
Step 6) Blam!
Now if you'll excuse me...*goes off to contemplate putting Phazon-enhanced Elminester for the final boss (controlled by the main villain, of course)*
