Chronicles of A.E.G.I.S.
Inspirations: X-Files, Millenium, Fringe, Threshold, The 4400.
AEGIS: Originally “Aetheric Evaluation, Grading, Inquisition and Sortilage” when founded in 1876 as an agency of the Cabinet Office. Renamed “Anomaly Evaluation, Grading, Investigation and Storage” in the 1980's, AEGIS is a UK intelligence agency under the control of GCHQ and MI5. AEGIS investigates odd occurrences within the UK.
The Returned: Several months ago people who had gone missing started to reappear with psychic abilities. Some had been missing only a few months, others for years, no-one who has returned has aged in any way. Most have no memories of what happened whilst they were missing. Some of these returnees have been employed by Government agencies such as AEGIS.
Characters: The characters are all Case Officers with an AEGIS team based in the Birmingham field office.

I like it.
However, what are we doing about rule books, etc., for character gen?

I haven't finalised the game yet, however I am going to prepare a prequel in case it's needed for a Sunday. Set in Franconia, New Hampshire in 1993. Characters will be friends that hang out at Presby Fuel. GURPS lite, the free version of GURPS will be OK for this, characters will be 50 points.

Changing rule system to HeroQuest 2nd Edition, here is a link to the pdf (don't tell anyone it might be illegal!): thetrove.net/Books/RuneQuest/HeroQuest/HeroQuest%202nd%20ed.pdfHere's a link to my setting document (link hasn't copied over correctly you'll need to copy and paste): 1drv.ms/w/s!Av_gKf0H2-0wsVhT6lwkSQhedcPR?e=Z6Xpwh I'll be updating it as I read through the Heroquest rules again. Wondering if I should include FEAR from the computer games, that could be fun, anacronym Easter eggs galore?

Thinking of how to do psychic abilities, I think the best way to do them in Heroquest would be as Umbrella Keywords (p10).
EG Pyrokinesis - Warm, Start Fires, Spontaneous human combustion, Control Fire, Reduce Fire intensity. So that could go on the character sheet like this as an example: Pyrokinesis 17 -Control Fire +1 -Start fires +1
Doing it that way would give an indication of how your power manifests in play and would save having many separate abilities. What do you guys think?

Looks good - but I don't know Heroquest well enough to critique.
