[HoE] Sykers

["Lane Pearson" <regault@u.washington.edu>]

Okay, I have a problem.
If you read the background for Sykers, they seem all cool. I mean, noone
can argue a cross between Apocalypse Now and Scanners. The thought of sci
fi telepaths that aren't all wimp chicks and a few effeminate, villainous,
men is cool.
SO WHY ARE ALL THE SYKER PICS SO LAME?
I mean, the art editor really dropped the ball with the Sykers in all the
HOE books. At some point, he should have said: "No, we want them to look
like Kojak, Picard, and Jesse Ventura in Predator, not like skinny@$$
rejects from some Shadowrun mook gang."
This has ticked me off since August, and is the one reason I haven't been
interested in playing a Syker.
Oh well, I'm gonna have my friend Don do sketches of what I think the
different archetypes should look like. I might wind up posting them on the
Net eventually.
Also, in my game, I'm planning on replacing the Templars' tabard with those
shirts that button up the side like they used to wear in Westerns. It'll
have a red cross where a sheriff's badge would be.
