In addition to what's been said elsewhere, the population of the NAN is far from 100% native descended. At their founding, they were extremely flexible with allowing people who could claim 1/32 or less native heritage to count as native enough to stay. Plus, most of the tribes were ok with completely non native groups willing to say 'I for one welcome out new amerindian overlords' and chose to assimilate culturally.Well, even if the US population went down from 300 to 225 million, the amerindian population didn't really get bigger proportionally. They'd go from 0.9% of the population to more than 1%.

Yes. They really are that bad. This is not hyperbole.
I'm not holding my breathe on that notion. Any kind of reunification is going to require military force at some point, even if only to defend against people who want to prevent the return of the last global super power. And it will be more then that.

Poor girl indeed. I left her in suspense because if I didn't she'd be jumping at every chance that I had to propose in the last few months. I do want to surprise her after all. Also the ring I'm getting is a custom work that I got commissioned just for her. It cost quite a few pretty pennies, but my wallet should be fine by January assuming I spend a bit less money on non-essential things, like rent, than usual.
...crap, Christmas is coming. D:
Welp my wallet should be fine by June in that case. Urk. >_>
1- Cap would not meet the Emperor. The prologue would be him awakening at the height of the Dark Age of Tech and go until the height of the Age of Strife, in which he becomes the proto-Emperor. Once he goes full Emperor route, he'd start putting together plans for the Unification Wars and then full on ascend. Yes, Steve would be a psyker, and yes the serum made that into peak human potential too, hence the absolute bullshit level of power he'd have as the Emperor.
2- Maybe I'll do a write-up of this later. This is a big topic. As for SR, that'll ruin the surprise!
Yes.
I'll do a write-up of this later.Oh and @torrmercury I'm curious how MCU would have gone down with the changes in the timeline. Could you please talk about that?
Won't answer. This will be addressed later on.
So my system has 11 as the absolute max a stat can go. Peak human is 8, but peak min/max aug troll is 10. 11 is reserved for beings with truly godlike stats. The Hulk qualifies for that in Strength, as do the Great Dragons.
Well, Steve won't have any clue what's going on either. You'll be discovering it just as he is!
Thank you.
Considering that Aztechnology originated as South American drug cartels banding together to make a corporation and then proceeded to get drunk on magic, and then took so much LSD that their brains were permanently damaged from it but replace LSD with the power that comes with being able to control so much of the world... You start to get the picture.

Yes, absolutely. There's an unspoken rule amongst Shadowrunners: "Don't ever, EVER, mess with Aztechnology!" And there are many Shadowrunners who'd do anything as long as the pay is right, but they still follow this rule. Exceptions are really rare and specific.
It well be interesting to see a Shadowrun raised Stark, who presumably will have a Stark corp and all that entails. I expect this Stark corp never stopped manufacturing weapons. The other Avengers will also have to have backgrounds altered, maybe a Hulk that was a corp scientist involved in an experiment that went wrong?

Yeah, I thought that would be the response.
Anywho, I was wondering if you could answer how Dr. Strange would fit into the SR setting?
While the movie is coming out in a couple of weeks, the trailers and lead up to it have seemed to indicate that the magic Steven Strange uses is of a different scale than that of SR.

Well, Earth hasn't been eaten by Dormammu yet, so he's probably just fine.

As (i think) the resident German, I will be unhappy with The Skull operating from the AGL.
Soley from there, i mean.
my candidates for his new best buddies are WINTERNACHT, the Azzies or .... well, HYDRA.

Not yet at least.
I was mostly curious about whether or not Steven Strange here could become the Sorcerer Supreme in this setting, and whether or not the MCU's magic would clash with SR's.

Works for me, I plan to see it in IMAX 3D after all the hype about the visuals.
Though this does make me wonder if we need a magic stat now or if that is covered by one of the original stats.

There will be a separate magic stat. Cap is not magical, however.

They are hypocritical mexican elites (mostly hispanic) claiming to be the legitimate heirs of moctezuma and sacrificing people for magical power while oppressing the indios and just about everyone else thats in their way.
and thats literaally the TOP of the iceberg.

That was to be expected.
How does our shield react to magic in any case? Well, assuming we still have it when we wake up.
Magic seems to be one of the key indications of power in SR, and our shield seems to be our best at defending ourselves from it since we aren't magical ourselves.

Oddly enough, if any magic hits the shield, it simply changes colors... unless that was color-changing magic, in that case it reflects back as a spell that makes the caster's eyes bleed.

I don't know much about shadowrun... Its one of those "The world sucks because everyone is an asshole, and if you're not an asshole you'll get killed after having your hopes and dreams crushed and spit on." settings isn't it?
Darn, should have voted then. Got complacent and didn't when it looked like Fallout would win. There better be some serious asskicking and world-fixing going on then. But hey, its the Cap, so as much as I find the setting distasteful I have my hopes up for now.

Not...exactly.Happy endings are possible, thete are even some places tnat are NICER places then they are today.
Its just not many and its damn hard.
But if you are , say , living in Czechia?
Or in SOME parts of Germany? You still are living in a reasonably free , democratic society.... mostly.
So, no, its not WH 40k.
Its just hard mode.

As I've mentioned before, SR is an oppressive setting in that no one is really free but everyone is effectively taken care. They are basically corporate slaves, but they have food, entertainment, jobs and security in a world that is pretty fucking crazy.
It's basically real life Earth mixed with cyberpunk and magic and megacorps.

In other words, Red Skull's wet dream. As long as he's on the top.
