A world where you cannot attend school, buy food or clothing, or even walk down the street without risking capture and imprisonment. Add to that picture, if you can the specter of giant, killing robots programmed to hunt and destroy you and everyone like you. This is the world waiting for you in Nighmares of Futures Past. Mutants have been declared outlaw and enemies, stripped of their constitutional rights, and condemned to quick death in battle or slow death in concentration camps. The heroes of our time are gone, either killed fighting oppression, stripped of their powers and locked away, or hiding in shadows, chipping away at the walls of oppression and struggling to survive as free men and women." -NoFP module Ok here's what I'm thinking it is 2037, over 40 years since the assassination of Senator Kelly and the forming of the Mutant Registration Act (MRA). During registration organic scans and blood test were done to determine if a person was human, anomalous human , or mutant. These three classes of society were sharply defined and mutually exclusive.  According to the module the following directives were issued by the goverment after registration: -All mutants and anomalous humans are to wear and identifying letter; a large A or M on the front and back of their clothing.-Mutants and anomalous humans are forbidden to bear children.-Mutants are forbidden to live in apartment buildings or multi-family dwellings which alsoo house genetically pure humans. All mutants currently living in such dwellings must move.-Identification cards must be presented when purchasing the following goods: food, liquor, gasoline, books, cigarettes, electronic equipment, tools, radios, weapons, clothing, airline/bus/train tickets.-Mutants are forbidden to work or eat in public restaurants not set aside for use specifically by mutants.-Mutants are forbidden in public parks and museums. Mutant children must withdraw from public schools.-Mutants are forbidden to ride public transportation.-Mutants are forbidden to be treated in hospitals or clinics which are not set aside for the sole treatment of mutants.-All mutant organizations, societies, newsletters, and professional unions are illegal. Hope some of this helps with background and gives you a "feel" for what the world will be like more to come as I re-read something I last read over ten years ago.</blockquote>
