So in the meantime...
I was a part of a discussion on the Pinnacle forums regarding a crew I was designing for a potential Con one shot. During the critique, some one mentioned that there were skills assigned to the pregens that were unlikely to come up during the game.
It struck a sore spot in me, and that is the idea of making characters who are not people but tools to deal with specific situations. I've never run a con game one shot before and I can see his point, but it seems to me that there is no reason to build a character with that mentality. You might as well just list the "class" of the character and assign a skill level for it.
Anyway, it gave me the idea for some rpg demotivational posters. Here ya go.
