Default Re: Realistic campaign with unrealistic/supernatural people

Sure, the standard solution is that magic/superpowers etc. absolutely must be kept secret. If anybody uses his powers openly, then everyone else, including those who would normally be on their side, pile up against him. Then the outburst of supernatural activity is explained away as... something natural. Evidence is tampered with, witnesses are first warned then discredited, collective psychosis is invoked, etc.

By this token, you could say that even our own world has something like that. The legends and tales about witches, or vampires, or superheroes are what is left after the redacting. We know about those, but we believe they don't actually exist... how wrong we are...
