I don't think this suits the themes and moods of Unknown Armies too well. I'd 
rather keep Steampunk sillyness with Falkenstein, space nazis with the Floating 
Vagabond, and my UA game gritty and scary. In my head, crashed 50s martians 
resemble the aliens from Gary Larson's cartoon too much to be *any* kind of 
scary... 8)
