Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greetings all!  I wanted to get some feedback on our newest setting.

Right now the ideas phase of a Psychic Warfare Game is in the works. Tentative Title "MK ULTRA - The Psychic War!"

Set in Modern day, this follows the test subjects of an MK Ultra Psychic Warfare program after it was dismantled in the 1950s.  They have been hunted down by many different government agencies (both foreign and domestic) in an attempt to recruit or eliminate them.  Now both the initial test subjects, and their decedents, are fighting back.  Some are street level vigilantes, some work for powerful groups (mafia, gangs, the government, etc), yet others just want power over this world!  

Set to be a "Super Hero" style format, with some intrigue and spy verses spy overtones.

Character Classes thus far:
Psychic - Surgeon, Vampire, Futurist, Historian, Audio, Voyance
Kinetic - Tele, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Geo, Photo, Magno, Aero, Gyro, Electrical, Techno
Astro - Projection, Dreamer, Aura, Remote View, Shield & Ward
Chi - Subset of multiple skills to be taken one at a time

Other than that it will be on the 1d8 system we have established.  

What concepts should we include?
The Company?  Like in Fire Starter?  Other shadow groups?

Do you mean Kinetic?

Also, can you refer me to something that explains what you are talking about? Was there a game you are expanding upon? I don't  follow. Is this some sort of Psi World thing?

My bad typing was to blame for the spelling error.  This is a new game in the concept phase, based on the 218 Games 1d8 system.  We are still world building the setting, so we are looking for ideas to enhance the quality of the game.  

It will be a Psychic War setting.  Where the powerful are not trusted.  At this time it is moving toward a Watchman feel.  The Psychics are known, feared, and bound by law to register.  I'm not sure how dark this will be, but most private feedback has been "Dark City" "Blade Runner" "Inception" type ideas.

We want a new feel to it, and will be writing a complete "magic" rules set (for the Psychic Powers) unlike the 1d8 system standard.  Currently we have Salem World out on DriveThruRPG.  This will be a new setting for that system
