[@Keksalot]To clarify, I'm not forcing people to play characters plucked out of a college that still look like children wearing daddy's business suit. If you want to play the grizzled veteran of whatever you wanted him doing prior to being recruited, go ahead. All I'm saying is we're not going to be mozambique-drilling Nyarlathotep in the RP, nor do I want the other end of that spectrum where everyone's a bumblefuck rookie or a pencil-pushing armchair commando. My gripes weren't so much that the characters [url]weren't[/url] blank-slate average joes that were about to have their entire worldview slowly flayed from them through the course of the RP, but that the characters seemed more like what Delta Green agents would be dispatched against to bodybag.
