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.

I've been entertaining this thought for a while, and while eliminating the Tesla effects from UnMet, to transition it to a more psychobilly game seems obvious, new callings do not seem so obvious for me. So, give me your opinions on what new callings I can create to ensure a more psychobilly feel to my UnMet game.

Talking about making Unhallowed Metropolis into a psycho game instead of steampunk. Horrorpops instead of Abney Park, ya know?

IMO, taking the game in that direction rips out what is best about it.  And in a couple of ways seems counter to the cool ethos they have built up.  

Perhaps if you gave more of "your vision" for the changes of the world we could approach it from a fresh direction?

I don't know much about 'UnMet'... except that it looks cool and I'd like to mine that and Etherscope for a GURPS Steampunk game...

On the other hand a Psychobilly horror game sounds pretty damn cool... in fact I think I'd rather play that than my GURPS Steampunk dream-date...

Forget Unhallowed Metropolis... just build it up from scratch!
Lots of nods to Universal monsters, Ed Roth, Odd Rods...
The GURPS Atomic Horror book would have useful reference...

For me it would have to be a pretty crazy mish-mash... centered on street racing gangs, smokey bars, psychedelic drugs that can alter your flesh, mad doctors, aliens, women roller derby teams, Tiki, and flying eyeballs... for a start.
