I've always imagined those with mindshields wearing tinfoil hats.

Speaking of which, Exterminators should be able to choose between starting with a tech shield or a mind shield.

Also, I forgot that kook is also an ability, so there's that.
I like this. Is there anything about this that seems unbalanced?
Tech shields are good against Aliens, Mad scientists?
Psi-powers are dopps and townies, never aliens, if I see things right. (Mind-shields don't count.)

Sentry guns, assassin bots, stun-balls/bombs. Warlocks, mind-knives, psychic wardens.
Tech shield seems a little weaker t'me, if just because you're more likely to run into the psi-powers than into tech.

Yes, but psi powers don't kill you on their own.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

It's those little Assassin Bots that'll do it.

But, I think the Tech Shield should block the use of the Tech for a round, so you don't just change targets right after.

I assumed that was how it would work to begin with.

All right, I'm going to start revamping the Aliens today.

I've also decided that Paranormal has become a bit too...predictable on a meta level. So I'm going to switch the Aliens over to a Closed system so that people don't know what to expect. Should make things a little more exciting. *evil chuckle*

Sounds like fun.

Does this mean you're planning on running Paranormal next?

Yeah, I think Paranormal 17 will be next.

It'll still be mostly open. Unless people *really* don't want me to make the aliens closed. I just thought it'd make things a bit more exciting.

And I'll play Para 17.

I like open setups. Then it's about strategy and metal prowess versus surprise attacks.

I thought closed scum was Supernatural's stick. Personally, I think Supernatural and Paranormal need as little overlap as possible. They're already somewhat similar in that it's monsters attacking a role-heavy town.

I mean, sure, it'd be fun, but it would also make the two games play very much alike.

If it matters, I'd also prefer it as open as possible. It makes it more strategic, since you may have to pick techs or whatnot to counter what others may pick; it's only fair if all the cards are on the table.

But I'll play it either way!
