If so, did you do it more like a SWAT incursion into Newcomer neighborhoods, to fight off Newcomer drug crime?

Or did you go for something else entirely? Perhaps an all-out attempt to take over, with the puny humans running for cover?

Also, what figures did you use for humans and newcomers? Did you do the OD morph types?

What rules?

What terrain?

I've always said CC sends me down some of the best rabbit holes.
Never thought about RPGing it though. I would probably just use bald headed humans for the guys though and regular females as Visitors in wigs. I just couldn't see why they wouldn't just do that anyway just to blend in.

Cacique Caribe07 Apr 2009 4:43 p.m. PST

Don't forget to use the biggest, bulkiest dudes for the Newcomers though.

They had two hearts and other redundancies, right?

Here it is:

"Since they had been bred as slaves, the Newcomers are 30% stronger and 20% smarter than the average human, as well as having a life expectancy of about 140 years and keener senses. This is partially due to the way they have been bred for adaptability but also due to their anatomical differences, which include having two hearts. With two hearts, the onset time of poisons is halved. If one heart is damaged, the other will work harder for a limited time. One heart is located in approximately the same spot as a human heart, the second is located in the center of the chest at the bottom of the rib cage."

I had totally forgotten about this show – that would be a great idea for a Sci Fi game

For those wanting to pursue this, here's a little something for your graffiti:

Who wants to go for a swim in the ocean? :)

Of course . . . the game could get really interesting if the owners or "overseers" come to Earth to reclaim their slave cargo:

Unfortunately, in real life I think we would just hand them over without question . . . and in so doing, show our potential as slaves too, I'm sure (though a weaker second-class).
