[QUOTE="CreativeMage, post: 6184278, member: 6749964"] Indeed, Cleon, the latter mechanic you suggest is what we're going with: the reward of 'hero points' for honourable conduct, which can be spent either in times of crisis, or in situations where a PC needs a helping hand (e.g. spending a hero point in order to have a contact appear and give the PC some vital aid, ostensibly as a result of his honourable reputation). As for playing a variety of races via the core rulebook, I take your point. Our aim wasn't to rope people in to buying a bunch of supplements, rather to get our main system out sooner rather than later. But I think your suggestion strikes the right balance: if we have enough there to play a Green man or Earthman, that might satisfy those folks who don't wish to go beyong the core rulebook. We are excited, however, about the depth we'll be bringing to both Green Martian PCs and Jasoomian PCs in further books! [/QUOTE]
