Re: Predator: rough draft. Any comments?

Re: Predator: rough draft. Any comments? Really? A special diet requirement is not a physical disad? I'm surprised. hmmm... I'm looking up similar characters. Ghoul from the Mutant File has a Dependence on potassium for his blood diet. Are there other any other official characters with diet requirement Disadvantages? It could be I need to either drop this disad, or change it.

Re: Predator: rough draft. Any comments? I'd went with a Physical Limitation that he needed to feed on raw meat. This then lead to the government just figuring him out by following him and watching for his patterns. Their investivators just made a good Deduction roll.

Re: Classic Comic Book Characters There was a also a story about how Firestar was worried that if she had a kid her microwave powers would effect the baby, since it might not be immune, and it would get fried. Might just be a quick "Physical Limitation - has health issues that need special treatment" 5 points, snce doctors keep curing these problems.

Re: Yankee Girl I know Comcast keeps doing this. It keeps adding some virus script. I upload clean versions, then a couple days later Comcasts readds it. Very annoying, I have to complain. I'll remove it AGAIN.

Re: Predator: rough draft. Any comments? I based that on the end of the first film, where he had Dutch beaten, but instead of killing him off easily, he takes off his weapons and challanges him to one-on-one. He seemed a little too sure he could beat this human one-on-one. People seem to know there is SOMETHING dangerous out there, even if they don't know his name. I say he sticks out like a sore thumb wherever he goes. Either as an alien or when skulking around as a blurr. If he walked down the street people would point and stare. That's distinctive. They did catch him by waiting for him at a meat packing plant. ;-) Like his opponent falling mud turning him invisible to the Predator's eyes? Maybe that's Dutch's good luck. I also was filling out the 150 points, I needed something. They might also be honorable as well, as in one of the comics a Predator had to protect a colony fo humans from aliens when the humans saved it's life after a crash.

Re: Yankee Girl I wrote Yankee Girl years ago too. Here: http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/csyankeegirl.html

Re: Has anyone ever played a setting where the mutant's actually ARE evil? I had thought of Kahn, but I forgot about the pilot episode having a psionic mutant. Also, there was than planet of telekinetics, and the DS9 episode with the genetically engineered people who visited Bashir.

Re: Predator: rough draft. Any comments? Here is the version I wrote for the 250 point project, years back. http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/cspredator.html

Re: Has anyone ever played a setting where the mutant's actually ARE evil? I was planning on doing it by starting the campaign as a normal world (non-super), 75+75 point police or military types, then slowly introducing super villians, as well as super equipment to the heroes to be able to go against them. I was thinking of simply "power corrupts" as the reason. Suddenly some nobody gains some god-like super ability, they abuse their power (look at the movie Jumper, first thing he does is get revenge and rob banks). After a few big public evil mutants give mutants a bad rep, everyone hides thier powers.

I was looking to set up a game where the PC play normal humans with high tech weapons, and going against the normal stereotypes of gaming, the vast majority of superhuman mutants are actual bad guys, not misunderstood, persecuted, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of setting, or know any fiction that woul provide material for it? I'm thinking of using The Mutant File as a base, only making Genecide the heroes, and the mutant groups evil, or at least selfish. I'm thinking of the TV series Prey, where the enhanced humans are in a conspiracy to take over humanity, or the audio drama "Aliens of the Mind" where telepaths try to take over the world.
