Who's run an adventure/campaign with psionics?

Did you just have one or two/a handful of psions?

Or did you have the Imperium secretly filled with them?

Do you have any NPCs you could share?

Any great stories?
 
Our current campaign, which has been running for almost a year now, has one psion.

All of the players are mature adults; most of us know each other well, though there are two new guys. Nevertheless, everyone is easygoing and comes to the table looking for a good story and satisfying decisions to make.

All of the player characters are high-powered. Not munchkins, but middle-aged and quite experienced. They had full careers, high ranks, and honed specializations.

The psionic player character is, frankly, overpowered. As referee, I was quite capable of turning that into a plot hook, but without a corrective his character is simply too powerful. In the course of the first session, he was able to use sense projection to see and hear goings on by Bad Guys, and was able to teleport past a Picket and to a grav craft, to enable the players to escape. It was quite a good bit of gaming, although it perhaps made things just a bit too easy.

So far, he is the only psion I put in the game. Soon I will need to add a psionic NPC or two, as adversaries. Two by two, hands of blue, perhaps.

Me.

A tiny fraction - 1 per 10 million or so - have training. That makes a rather sizable body when the Regina subsector alone - 15,600 or so. And almost all of them are part of an underground network of affiliated secret societies... Psi Beta Kappa...

The most important member IMTU is Norris Aledon. Sure, he's only PSR2...
 
[Referee] Me too.

All the time. Sort of.

In my meatspace game I have two with good Psi ratings and what looks to be a genuine Psi Null (Lt. Coronel Sutton, RMR has taken the Exam three times and failed miserably every time, and he soo wants to pass).

In my PbP I seem to be lacking Psionics. I think it might be that they were raised with the OTU, whereas my meatspace crew aren't versed in the OTU lore.

I have full on public Institutes and Psionic Forces in the Imperial military.

No real NPCs yet, but some day. Maybe.

Not yet, we will see though.
