secretID Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 This just came up - not for the first time - in a thread. I'd love to see a book of disads. Ideally, they would be organized both by disad "type" ("Sensory Problems," "Secrets," "Minor Interaction Quirks") and by character type (Robot, Military, Anachronism, etc.). For my purposes, it wouldn't have to be a full book, e.g. "The Ultimate Disad." Just a bunch of builds, well organized, would be great.

secretID Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Re: disad book or HD pack Thanks. I have those (in a handy Word doc, actually). I'd love to have it or something like it organized as I mentioned. I started doing it myself a while back, but it's a bear, and I'm lazy. Some categories (not nearly complete) I was using: Alien, etc./major physiology differences Monster, etc. Robot, etc. Unusual human Finances Anger and aggression Heritage Common minor medical Sensory Cognitive disabilities Fame Overconfidence Minor physiological differences Note that the first few are types of characters, and the others are types of disabilities. Lots of things would fit into more than one category, of course. This kind of organization would appeal to me much more than an organization based on the type of disad in rules terms (Psych Disad, Social Disad, etc.).

Bolon Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Re: disad book or HD pack I also thought of such an idea but it could include a bunch of villain who are fear based. I saw a wonderful episode of "Faceoff" the makeup series that included phobias and characters based on them. I would also like to see codes of conduct, and other things handled in more detail. I think that a simple players handbook would be nice instead of a full blown Ultimate book. I would also like to see some articles on psychological play or gaming to play the dark side of things with serial killers, profiling and investigating.
