Another 'Chosen One' scenario.

Aw, ain't that a kick in the pants ;-). But they make for really good high adventure stories. "Neo, you are the only one who can save us..." The trader clans, are they the futurisitic equivalent of warring nomads? The sword in mythology often symbolizes discernment since it bears a resemblance to the surgeons discerning tool the lancet. The setting looks like it has some promise, though, from the review I think GMs would probably either port it to another Game System of their choice or heavily house-rule the mechanics.
