Among my RPG gaming group there are several running jokes which sprang from the need justify to the GM why or how our starting level characters, no matter the system or genre, get their cool equipment.
One of these for vehicle/mecha scale equipment was that the mecha would land in front of our characters, pop the cockpit hatch and the pilot would walk out and take a couple of steps. Then keel over dead, for no apparent reason. Leaving the character a really cool piece of equipment.
Generally however our various GM's have always shot down this story since the probabilities of that happening were quite low and thus keeping up the running joke
Cue last's night group viewing of Macross Frontier episode one. All went well until the very end of the episode where Alto jumps into the empty VF-25... after it landed... and the pilot flew out... then promptly got killed... leaving Alto with a really cool piece of equipment
After I pointed that out there was much rofling_______________________________
"Walls are meant to be broken." - Makes sense figuratively and literally.
