As some fans may know, BGC was axially supposed to be 13 eisodes long. However, only eight were made due to legal complications. The lest fv episodes were eventually boiled down into the 3-partsoqul series Bubilegum Crash, but many fens feel thatthe storyline was never fully resolved. But BCS legal problems are now over, and we'e happy report that there willbe anew BGCTV series on the air in Japan in late 1987. Word hast that the new series will runabout 26 episodes and there may also be a move or new OVA series. Although details ae til sti sketchy, we do know that fans can look forward to... afith Knight Saber! A. Talsorian Games wil keep you posted as details become available, So) a | W FUZION™ EVOLUTION The Bubblegum Crisis Roleplaying Game was the fist game to use the new Fuzion™ game system, but it fr from the last. The lst of Fuzin™ ‘games already includes: Hero Games’ classic superhero roleplaying game, ‘hampions: New Millennium; Gold Rush Games’ Segoky and. Usagi Yojimbo: the superb anime Armored Trooper VOTOMS APG (om A. Talsorin and Central Park Medial: and later in the year gamers can look forward to Fuzion powered versions of Cyberpunk and Mekton Zeta, Thus, Fuzion! is a wok in progress. In oder to ting the BGC APG up to date, AGC Before & After features afew smal differences from the base rulebook. From now on all BSC books wil usa these changes: New Terminology: PERSonalty has been changed to PREsence because “presence” is @ more accurate description of the Stats use; @ character's PD (Physical Defense) has been changed to SD (Stun Defense) because thats what it really is; and all armors PO (Physical Defense) has been changed to KD (Kilng Defense) to distinguish it from SD; ation ally, the tam "Campeign Pints” has been changed to Option Points. Scaling Kills: In order to avoid “confuzion™”, the many mecha of the BGC RPG have been sorted ito various scales. Human scale mecta (such as Harduits, Powered Suits, and Boomers) and Small Vehicle scale designs (such as cars, motorcycles, Motorslves, Battlemovers, truck, and hic tors) wil always be listed with KD, SDP and their weapons wll do damage in D63—Kills will no longer be used for them. Therefore, all damages dished out by mecha ofthis scale should be multiplied by 14D6 (rounded nearest) in order to find their scale-corect damages. For example, the Mouth Laser of the BU-SC (BGC p99) does 2206, since 15 x14 = 22.4 ‘Another way of looking atKllcon- version i to check how many | OOK: 006 08K: +706 rontactonal Kils te tack | OAK: +106 06K: 4808 does—each ful Kili 1406.

LAK’ *808 _ 08K +1808 Large mecha (such as aircraft, tanks, and giant robots) wil use Kil, and no fractions wil be used—In the Bubblegum Crisis RPG book, only the Orca Shutl, hy Carre, and the VA-6 Satelite wil use Kils, Read below to see how damage works in these dtferent scales AL SDP- and Hit-rated targets attacked by D6-rated weapons: Damage is applied normaly, by determining the total amount of damage role, subtracting armor, then applying any remaining damage to the SOP. Human-scale targets attacked by Kill-rated weapons: For ary target weighing 1000kg or less (which has Hits or SDP), damage is applied by adding 13 to the number of Kills of damage; the result is the numberof ice of damage that is done tothe target. Determine the total amount damage rolled, subtract armor, then apply any remaining damage tothe SOP ‘Small Vohicle-scale (SDP-ratod) targets attacked by Kill-rated ‘weapons: Damage is applied by mukiplying the Kills ofthe weapon by 50, subtracting armor, then applying any remaining damage tothe SOP. Large Meche-scale (Kill-ted) targets attacked by D6-rated ‘weapons: Damage is applied by cividing the DC ofthe attack by 14, op ping fractions. The result isthe Kils of damage done (e.g, a 3308 attack becomes @ 2Kil attack. Subtract the Kil of armor fom the attack, then ‘poly any remaining damage tothe targets Kills Kill-rated targets attacked by Kll-rated weapons: Damage is applied normally, by subtracting the rumber of Kil of armor from the Kills cof damage, then subtracting ny remaining damage rom te targets Kil Teper)JBBLEGUM CRISIS: BEFORE AND AFTER — tHe 40 Pouce an | f ale pr RENIERC ICY RELI eEPISODE GUIDE: AD POLICE FILE-1 THE PHANTOM WOMAN re A DERUTIFUL BOOMER ATTACKS NORMAL POLICE ROOKIE LEON MCNICHOL.
