You were asked – TMP link Characters (or aliens) with psychic powers are popular in science fiction, but don't seem very popular in sci-fi miniature wargaming. Why do you think psychic powers aren't popular in games? 33% said: "it's just magic by a different name"
13% said: "belongs in an RPG, not a tabletop game"

Actually psychics on the table are ubiquitous. Since they are psychic, they mask their presence in the OOB. Balance demands that both sides field psychics. During set up, the psychics invoke a glamour and invisibly meet near mid table and execute Psyonic Accords Protocol 26.(B)(3)(c).1 whereby Psychics agree not to interfere in "Mungodreary" game play. While normal play is underway, they're doing brewskis and Jager Bombs off table. And we're all blissfully none the wiser. As it should be. |
