Yeah, I think so. And I rather like the idea as well. Thank you.

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
As a question, having reread your post on UBs, one thing hugely confuses me
In one example, you propose giving points (in a form of Negative UB or something), to the guy who wants to play a mundane in a Supers game In, you propose charging points with a UB for the ninja in the pirate game This seems really odd, since both are 'The campaign is X, but, I want to play Y' |

In the second case the player running a ninja in a pirate game would presumably gain access to various martial arts flavored cinematic skills/advantages that would not normally be available to a normal pirate in that game verse. Its essentially proably a low cost unusual background for access to some ethnic cool abilities. |

Unusual Background is about how uncommon the character type or trait(s) are within the setting, not among what the GM is thinking of as typical PCs, so even in a game where the GM was thinking in terms of a bunch of Kryptonians, if there are only a handful of them in a world populated by billions of Jimmy Olsens and Lois Lanes, a non-powered PC should not have to pay an Unusual Background cost. Now, the old alternative comic Normalman might provide a counter example, but even in that case lacking powers had no real utility. |

Triple Threat: Hannya
Talk about your crazy exes. Don't get to close to this one boys, she's a man-eater (well, she's more likely to cut you in half with some severely unkempt scary nails - but you get the idea).

Melee Academy: Outgunned, Outmanned, and Outmaneuvered – Now What?
Never fight fair - fighting "fair" is for the movies. Fight to win. Fight dirty. In today's Melee Academy we talk about what to do when the chips are down, the odds are against you, and you're desperate.
