      Hello,

      I'm new to the list, and playing MegaTraveller, (four
months for both), and this is my first posting.

      I have a question about psionics, basically are there
any sources that give good hints, suggestions, etc., on the
use of them in MegaTraveller? I've found the rule books to
be more tantalizing than useful.

      I'll explain my reason for asking. I rolled up a
character, got a good psionics rating and a *SPECIAL* ability.
The GM came up with material psychogenesis, the creation of
matter/antimatter via psi. To make a long story short I'm
*retiring* the character as she unbalances the game.

      As an example; the ship the party was travelling on
was being pursued by a much larger pirate vessel that could,
and probably would, stomp us into atoms. I simply created a
milligram of antimatter directly in front of the pirate ship.
Need I describe what the matter\antimatter explosion did to the
**HYDROGEN** fuel?

      Another example; the party was captured by the bad guys.
After waiting a while the bad guys attempt to interrogate the
party individually. The interrogator, in what is obviously a
torture chamber *politely* asks my character in a chair
directly under a devices with lots of blades and stuff. I
refused, he insisted, I refused, he starts to press a red
button, I placed a thumb sized piece of sodium in the center
of his brain, he dies horribly and yuckie.

      The GM agrees with my decision to retire my character. So
I'm trying to find information on psionics and their uses. Any
one out there have any??

      Thanks in advance for info, pointers, or hints.
