[Mars Attacks] A few questions...
http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/m...g/cover_lg.jpg
I just *LOVED* Gurps Mars Attacks, but I need advices/answers about several things: 1): The book cover in the SJG site has the hilarious 'Lustful Martian with Human Girl' art (page 14) on the left, but my printed copy came with the 'Martian Marine(?) in Heavy Armor' (page 29) instead. What happened? 2): Why Gluttony is a racial disadvantage for Martians? NOTHING in the book hints/refers to the dietary habits of Martians. Do they have a crave for Human(s foods)s? 3): The 'Project Head' lens (page 67) has the skills for 'Bug' and 'Human Upgrade', but I would like to know the required skills for the remaining projects too. In addition, why the 'Martian Officer' character template lacks the Weird Science skill? 4): "Earth in the Balance" (page 18) says 'Alliance Annihilated' is "the result assumed by the Mars Attacks trading cards". I dunno, searched Youtube for the 1962 Topps cards and I've seen the 'Mars Explodes' card at the end, do you can give me more details? In addition, "Earth in the Balance" is scheduled to happen... When, exactly? 7 Months since Day 1? Or after YEARS of carnage? 5): Where I find the Designer's Notes? Thank you for any input! |

Re: [Mars Attacks] A few questions...
There aren't currently any Designer's Notes for this, but I'd be happy to answer questions and provide any insight into the creation of the book.

To say the truth, I think the "Mars Needs Women" theme is the truest to the spirit of the campaign, but, hey, be assured I understand your problem with "alienat(ing) a huge segment of gamers right off the bat". Thank you very much for your posts!! |
