Game Controls interested in exploring the horrors of the Dark should use the Fragile Minds quality from Fragile Minds, with the Saturday Matinée Cinematic style also using the Hard-Boiled Investigators quality. Additionally, those GCs who wish to include Psionics should make use of the Legacy of the Ancients quality from the Shadowforce Archer Worldbook conversion document.
The Allegiance quality from World on Fire is appropriate for both styles. Rocketship Empires games may be Faction, Freelance, or Hybrid as the GC prefers.
