I must admit that I never liked the randy greys described in the MMWG sourcebook. I always felt that those puny, grey-skinned, big-eyed aliens belonged in some Stephen Spielberg movie that I would never have the misfortune to watch, after already suffering through _E.T._ and _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_.
However, having just finished a book by a skeptic arguing that these extraterrestrial visitors do not actually exist, in which he discusses one UFOlogist who claims that "If the abduction phenomenon, as I suspect, manifests itself in our physical space/time world but is not of it in a literal sense, our notions of accuracy of recall regarding what did or did not 'happen' (Kuhn's advice about suspending categories seems relevant here) may not apply, at least not in the literal physical sense", and having already adopted some ideas from the Mage: The Ascension game into my MMWG world, in which different factions are fighting to become the dominant reality paradigm and which, in my MMWG world, the Dang seriously interferes with the ascendancy of the Scientists achieved in the 19th and 20th centuries, I had an idea.
Suppose that the randy greys did not actually exist but were created by the alien abductees as a counter to the prevailing reality paradigm? In other words, the randy greys were created by the women who are loved by them.
For this reason, the Texas Rangers *really* hate the randy greys, and will shoot them on sight.
The center of randy grey activity would of course be Roswell, New Mexico. Which happens to be very close to Texas, making the Texas Rangers even more furious. The greys and the women who serve them formed a Republic of Gaiatopia, based on New Age philosophies. The Texans tried to destroy their city, but the cruise missiles they launched were deflected by the Gaiatopians' combined psychic energies and landed about a hundred miles to the north. The Texans gave up trying to nuke them out of existence, but border raids on both sides are quite common.
One of the classic characteristics of alien abduction is the experience of being paralyzed. Thus, I give randy greys the ability to achieve a Hold Monster psionic effect against one target per round, with a saving throw DC of 16 (10 + 1/2 HD + Int Mod + 2 for special proficiency in this attack form).
