Fictional Characters from TV, Movies, Books
Has anyone introduced some fictional characteristics from TV, Movies, or Books into their game? How did you implement them. I haven't done it yet, but I am thinking of statting out some fictional characteristics, The hardest part is remembering what was on TV and the Movies circa 1996-2000.

Wikipedia is great for this. I did a search "1997 in television", and it popped up choices for American, English, Canadian, and Japanese TV. Here are the highlights of American TV in '97:
New Shows: King of the Hill (Fox), Daria (MTV), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (WB), Teletubbies (PBS), Stargate SH-1, the View (ABC), South Park (Comedy Central), Ally McBeal (WB). Popular shows that ended: Beavis & Butthead, Coach, Married....with Children, Roseanne And I also found a link for the NY Times Bestsellers List Archives: http://www.hawes.com/pastlist.htm Not quite as easy, since it breaks it down week-by-week, but you can distill it down pretty easily with a few minutes work.

I'd love to see MacGyver make an appearance in central Poland armed with nothing more than three rubber bands, a pen knife and some used chewing gum.
Not a problem, he'd have everyone back home by the end of the week.

The early Tom Clancy books have a multitude of characters that could be dropped straight into a T2K campaign. Probably the last to have been published would have been Executive orders (1996).

We had a guy in the CSU Fresno group who was an occasional player. He was a fan of the show Tour of Duty (and wasn't happy when it got axed by CBS). So he took the character of SFC Zeke Anderson from the show. Zeke and his platoon crossed paths with my group more than once; we'd do a joint op, and then go our separate ways. Last ran into 'em in the Black Madonna territory (Silesia): we weren't doing the adventure per se, but used the lay of the land, since we were trying to get somewheres else. This guy decided to take his platoon and go for the Black Madonna. Don't think he got it, as he graduated before it could be finished.
