I see the ranchers are still playing the "our animals are more important than your animals" card though. How long until beef cattle are considered an "invasive species"?

Well beef cattle is tastier for the reason that we've been breeding for that trait for a few thousand years, but I do find it amusing that Ranchers are petrified of the bison carrying Brucellosis, a disease THEY introduced decades ago from poor management of the domestic cattle

I've had bison burgers, and I think they're as tasty as beef, with the bonus of being much lower in saturated fat.

The Panther Assault Cannon, designed and produced by Panther Industries, is your only choice for heavy assault weapon. Firing a stable superplast explosive warhead, the Panther has proven effective against both hard and soft targets. Comes with shoulder-strap and hip-bracing gear for stable hip-fire. The Panther fires specialized 25mm HV grenades with a double-sized propellant charge. Impact from one of these grenades deals 2D6 damage beyond the normal damage for such a round. Rounds also cost 2.5x the normal cost for 25mm grenades.

They ain't doin much if they take enough damage to make them unconscious after an 'S' wound. Beside, the Panther is for taking out light pursuit vehicles. APDS loads in the SMG's and Assault Rifles for when the drek hits the fan. Usually, I'd load gel-rounds loaded with DMSO4 and knock-out juice for general security.

Pro-Tip: the less of a security guard body count you leave behind, the more likely a corporation will be open to surrender and negotiation for your continued survival in exchange for some odd jobs.

I've had two bison burgers and I completely disagree. First one was dry and with an unappealing flavor, I had it cooked medium rare. I figured I'd give it another chance because maybe the first place just did a lousy job. The second one was the same deal. I've had ostrich burger once. That was enough.

Frag. Looks like modern tech has caught up to fantasy tech again. Time whip out the 45mm sniper rifle or 75mm man-portable howitzer from Underground.

Yes. mm. Not fractions of an inch. One of those will empty any pail, boosted or not.

If you ordered at a restaurant, betting you had a burger with maybe 20% bison meat. There is no mistaking its superior quality.
Freezer full of elk, bison, antelope and deer meats.

Wow, you had some bad bison burgers. But I've had plenty of cow burgers from different places that fit your description. Like any burger, proper preparation and cooking of the particular meat is essential. If you're ever in Sacramento, I can show you how a proper bison burger should taste.... Flaming Grill Cafe... They know how to prepare their different meats; there's no one-size-fits-all method for making burgers from various animals.

LOL! Sounds a lot like my old GM. In his universe, a terrorist group got into the factory that made survival knives and added unstable particles to the steel in the blades causing them to explode at random times. Of course, that may have had something to do with the time our group totally farked his three week planned campaign with the contents of two survival knives (although these weren't standard issue as they also contained fishing line).

Party Member: "I use the compass in the handle of my knife to tell where the magnetic field is coming from."
GM: "Ok. You found it."

later...

Party Member: "I tie the lever down with the fishing line from my survival knife so we can all get through."
GM: "Crap."

later...

Party Member: "I jam the door open with the blade of my survival knife."
GM: "GOD DAMNIT!"

later...

GM: "Ok, he's lying there bleeding to death. What do you do?"
Party Member: "I use the med patch from my survival knife to stabilize him."
GM: "FARKING SURVIVAL KNIVES!"

later...

GM: "Power's out. There are no lights. Temperature in the room is too hot for thermal. You need to find the exit fast to make it out."

Bison meat is MUCH tastier than cow meat. I'll take a bison steak or burger any day of the week over a cow steak or burger.

In this case, money will probably win. I sure and shiat hope that one day they'll realize they will have to eat their own money. I wonder if they'll put salt on it or not.

Heh, yeah, in the early days I made the mistake of letting one of the players have a panther cannon. He proceeded to one-shot all the major threats that the group ran into. My answer was to surround the group with an angry Aztechnology response team, giving them only one route of escape...the bay. The panther wielder quickly discovered that it's not particularly easy (read possible) to swim for his life with an assault cannon around his neck. Not that he didn't give it a try, but drowning sucks and he decided he liked breathing more than the gun.

Nerdy Story Bro,

Used to play in a Twilight 2000 game years ago. As the group was making it's way across Europe, we found an unused ADM that the GM was expecting us to use up to solve the current plot. Well, we managed to solve the situation without going all mini-nuke, and the GM forgot to resolve the fact that we had the device now. The guy playing our quartermaster had like everything, I mean *EVERYTHING*, our unit had written out; he hid the ADM in our inventory list among the list of individual spices that were a part of our mess. So, a few games later, we have a rather intractable situation involving a dam needing to be destroyed and a unit of Spetznatz holding it. Our leader says, 'No problem. We wait until dark and then set the ADM to blow the dam.' GM: "Wait...how do you have an ADM? You left that thing behind.' Leader: 'Nope. Still got it.' GM: 'What? It not on your inventory sheet?' Quartermaster: 'Sure it is. It's listed in-between the cumin and oregano.' GM: 'FFUUUUUUUUUU.....'
