It reminds me of the character generation lists in traveller. Just a nudge more towards satire and this list would be really funny and amusing, but I chuckled a couple of times. Nice list. Go to Comment

This is fun. It actually manages two jobs at once: 1) If you can find your villain's story on this sheet, it lets you know that it's probably not all that original and could bear rethinking and 2) If you have NO idea what motivates your villain, you could take one of these and run with it if you had to. Tropes are not all bad, and a GM can always take one of these and twist it enough to surprise their players. Go to Comment

32.  I'm just misunderstood, people don't get it.  I'm doing this for their own good!  Can't you see?!

33.  I never had a chance to tell them how I really felt, and now they're gone.  Worse, it's my fault.

34.  Everyone else had nice things growing up.  I had an alcoholic dad that beat my mom.  To death.

Random thought, I think I can use this submission to start bringing in some NOD stuff that has been sitting in the Thoughtpot for a while. Go to Comment

The Sons of Scorpions are largely based off of the Dreadnoks from GI Joe, but expanded out to be a bunch of mutants, cyborgs and other types that should seriously be able to give regular police and national guard types something to be afraid of.

I'm loving how well it's growing Go to Comment

Zardoz of course brings to mind one of the worst sci-fi movies ever inflicted upon mankind and Sean Connery's highly disturbing outfit.

Other than that, i love this entry! Big Z's story reads like a Marvel Universe character bio--approached by a 'mysterious benefactor' and all that--great! There are also Sons of Anarchy, GI Joe, and clockwork orange vibes. Love the gang roster! Go to Comment

This gives me a strong Ghost in the Shell vibe. Nicely done. Go to Comment

I love it. My favourite is Mr. Johnson. Go to Comment

A fixer is a professional guy who knows a guy. They come from the Shadowrun game system. A fixer is a professional go between for criminals who do the dirty work, the proverbial shadow runners, and the people who want to hire them. This creates plausible deniability, keeping legitimate employers from getting in trouble for hiring thieves and criminals to undermine their rivals. They also do criminal underground legwork, they find jobs, and help supply black market goods for PCs. The fixer can also on occasion sell hot goods or find buyers for stuff PCs have taken. Your fixer is something like a manager, promoter, and advisor all rolled into one. This being said, all fixers are different, and can range from government agents working undercover, illuminati agents, etc etc etc Go to Comment

And the 30s now have another good submission. Go to Comment

Another really great 30.

I giggled when I first realized that ALL of them are named Johnson. Go to Comment

Alright, it's obvious to me that I haven't played in enough of these kinds of games to vote on this piece. Perhaps you could explain in a paragraph or so what a fixer actually is? How do they normally function and how do the characters interact with them? And how the hell do you contact one of these guys to begin with? Go to Comment

Why yes, I can totally see this happening in any non-apocalyptic future. Energy drinks are one of those unique expressions of modern society that nobody really saw coming, but have completely ingrained themselves into our collective psyche. Any near-future sci-fi without the equivalent is missing an important supporting piece of flavor.

Very nicely done! I can't think of a single thing that I'd like improved on this submission, which means it gets one of my rare 5's. Go to Comment

Exceptional. Ten bucks says this is Red Bull in 200 years. Go to Comment
