Line 1: Line 1:
After a discussion of all the GMs (who's bases belong to us) we decided that the way to continue with a second game alongside exemplars would be to throw out, as we did before, a choice of Genres, let everybody vote, and see what comes out.  When a Genre has been selected, anybody who has an idea for a game they'd like to GM in that genre can put together a SHORT synopsis (a paragraph or two) of the game they want to run: all the ideas will go up on the votin' page and then everybody will get to rank the specific game ideas.  Whichever game idea gets the most votes is what we do, and whoever proposed that idea is the GM for the second game with which we move forward after the Jin Dynasty campaign ends.
 
  
Rank these in your preferred order, 1-7 (1 being the "best", and 7 the worst).  When everyone (including both Nate AND Gabe) has voted, we'll add up the points.  If one wins clearly (ie, by more than 7 points), we'll just go forward with that one: otherwise We'll have as many run-offs as necessary to winnow it down to one.
 
 
So, the Genres:
 
 
==Post Apocalypse==
 
#1 Continue PA: Not really a genre, and I can't remember how the discussion went for this.  This option would mean that I would wrap up, in an expedient fashion, the events currently in progress, and the group would move onto a PA campaign that Jason has been designing: one focused more on the necessities of survival, on scrounging, and on the everyday challenges of living in a post apocalyptic world.  This game would run in parallel with exemplars after Jin.

--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] Rank 2<br>
 
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:48, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 2. I'm enjoying this campaign, although I do want the band back together.
 
 
==Far Future==
 
#2 Far-Future:  this genre includes space opera, space fantasy, space marines, space hulk, rogue trader, or any other ultra-high-tech based game
 
--[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 15:07, 3 February 2007 (MST)rank 1<br>

--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:46, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 1. I'd like a Firefly-ish kinda' setting. I.e., space travel but low tech.
 
 
==Modern==
 
#3 Modern or Near-Future:  This includes realistic modern world settings, cyberpunk, drug lord settings, and beating up the jason bessonette.

--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:55, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 7. Exemplars is already modern day (albeit slightly skewed). I'm not all that interested in doing today.
 
 
==Historical==
 
#4  Historical:  Settings based on actual time periods in human history: rennaisance, the wild west, roman, caveman, whatever.

==Fantasy==
 
#5 Fantasy: A historical setting including magic, mythical creatures, etc.  This would also include games like the Iliadic game (if you want to make an argument that it should fall into "historical" go ahead, but I think it fits here better)
 
--[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 15:07, 3 February 2007 (MST)rank 2<br>
 
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 17:53, 3 February 2007 (MST)Rank 6<br>

--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:23, 4 February 2007 (MST) rank 2 I'm indecisive so i gave three rank 2's instead of a 1, 2, and 3<br>
 
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]  Rank 5<br>
 
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:49, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 3. I demand more gnome sex.
 
 
==Supernatural==
 
#6 Supernatural:  A game focused on things like vampires, werewolves, shub-niggoroth, or anything else sort of world-of-darkness-y.

--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 17:53, 3 February 2007 (MST)Rank 2<br>

--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:23, 4 February 2007 (MST) rank 2<br>
 
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]  Rank 3<br>
 
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:51, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 4. All your sanity is belong to the Old Ones!!!
 
 
==Genre Mish-Mash==
 
#7 Genre Mish-Mash:  A catchall for oddball games or unusual combinations: Steampunk, for instance (drawing a blank on other examples right now).
 
--[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 15:07, 3 February 2007 (MST) rank 3<br>
 
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 17:53, 3 February 2007 (MST)Rank 3<br>
 
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 19:02, 3 February 2007 (MST)Rank ????<br>
 
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 13:23, 4 February 2007 (MST) rank 2<br>
 
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]  Rank 6<br>
 
--[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 13:54, 8 February 2007 (MST) Rank 6. I vote an anime romance story. Gabe is the shy young girl who has a crush on the high school soccer hero Matt. But what's this, Jason is secretly in love with Matt, too, hoping for some hot boy-on-boy loving!?! And Ed's secretly an alien from outerspace trying to win Gabe's heart. Oh what will our hero(ines) do??
 
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 14:13, 8 February 2007 (MST)^^^^^^This is the best idea EVAR.  I vote for it and nothing else.
 
 
 
=Almost Results Or Something=
 
With only Nate left to vote the pendulum has swung thusly (with adjustment made for Matts inability to count to 7):
 
 
Post Apocalypse: 26
 
Far Future: 14
 
Modern: 31
 
Historical: 27
 
Fantasy: 23.5
 
Supernatural: 21
 
Genre Mish-Mash: 25.5
 
 
Lowest score wins, so unless Nate throws a monkeywrench into the plans Far Future will be the choice.  But, if Nate ranks Supernatural ahead of FF, then we should have a runoff (it wont meet the 7 margin of victory ordained by Pope Benthedick).  Actually, for purposes of interest I propose we all submit any ideas we have that fit either genre, then choose the one people like the best.
 
 
Thoughts?
