When someone refers to MITS or GECKS for character generation.
What does the Abbreviations for each mean? Secondly where can I obtain these methods? IE which Source books. |

MiTS - Magic in the Shadows
Gecks, proper spelling BECKS - an alternative character creation method that is not Canon. |

Magic in the Shadows isn't a character generation method, it's a sourcebook. BeCKS on the other hand, is built in to the NSRCG, a computer-based character generator you can download from matrix.dumpshock.com/mcmackie.

A GECK would be a Garden of Eden Creation Kit, which would allow you to build an entire civilization out of a suitcase (but not generate characters). Sadly, GECKs are from an entirely different game.

GECK from Fallout I and II and Brother hood of steel.
Now the MITS, would be in line with Geas , Ritual Magic, Anchoring and Spirts. I have not completely read MITS, But there is not much on Character Creation. |

Well there is a lot in there about creating a magical character...or rather ideas when creating magical characters.
