Hey, guys! Did you buy all those nifty Dark Conspiracy books but find that the future they present is too depressing (pun intended)? Do you think some of the Darkling toys were cool, but you thought they would change the game dynamic of your Traveller campaign? Do your Luddite neogoth friends find DC too "X-files," while your Geek Squad graduates consider it too "Whedonesque in a Buffy sense?"
Create a new Traveller race! I did; IMTU a race called the Anunaki are masters of genetic manipulation. Where most sophonts would use concrete and steel for building a home Anunaki just us an "erector" and "viner" and a couple of slaughtered domestic animals. Within weeks your custom home is ready to inhabit. User costs like "feed" or "Control" can be changed to something more benign, or maybe that Anunaki with the "spectral eye" is staring with that lean and hungry look... Ya gotta admit, nothing is as alien as a clam full of gooey entrails that the locals use as an air-raft!
