Don't worry, it's actually good. Not just good while doped up. But for shame! Going to the theater with the flu? Didn't you see Outbreak?!?

Well, Campaign Cartographer 3 is a "good" map-making program, but it's not free and there's a steep learning curve (easier than learning how to draw maps yourself, though).

Can't really think of any sites that make it super-easy off the top of my head. I'd imagine if they were out there we'd already know about them...but maybe (hopefully!) I'll be proven wrong.

Wait, people have an issue with that the super soldier mutant is a super soldier?

Not at all! (At least in my case). I just mean the inherent imbalance of a setting where there is a "super class" (or two) who, theme-wise (depending on timeframe), are supposed to be rare and "everyone else." How do you attract players to "everyone else?" Or do you even bother?

Kind of like on Superhero MUs, you rarely see anyone playing the civilian supporting characters unless they are extremely well-developed/critical or someone has a favorite TS partner that they convince to app the "girl/boyfriend" (or more disturbingly and just as frequently someone apps the girl/boyfriend because they want to TS that particular character). You MIGHT see an Alfred Pennyworth and/or Jim Gordon in Gotham, but that'd be like having someone app Zoltan or Dandelion on a Witcher MU.

But there were some fun ideas kicked around in the theoretical Witcher MU* thread concerning those kinds of questions.

If a game is trying to have any type of feudal politics going on, I'd think some type of family tree would be pretty necessary.

And there does look to be a lot of backstory, but is there an unspoken players:backstory ratio? Some folks like the world-building stuff. Could be better organized though.
