As of now we have a few possibilities here.  Dieter wants to see a Firefly-esque game.  Matt wants something vaguely 40kish.  Ben wants to declare himself emperor for life and strut around until the ides of March.

How about if everyone posts their character ideas here, then whoever is gonna GM this train wreck can know what the participants will be and find a way to get them molded into the world, instead of shoe horning the players into their world.

--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 14:31, 14 February 2007 (MST)Actually I'm not that into running a 40k-ish space opera.  If I ran it it'd be closer (a lot closer) to Firefly, sort of a dingy wstern-cyberpunk-in-space.

--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 14:41, 14 February 2007 (MST)So we could conceivably run space Deadlands?  hehe  I have trouble wrapping my head around guys flying around in an interstellar space ship shooting each other with six-guns.  On tv they had to make those excuses to save on special effects, but if we are to have such an arrangement, the explaination better be good.

--[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 14:56, 14 February 2007 (MST)The way I've been designing my campaign, there are certain character generation rules, but that should only matter for putting a character down on paper. In fact, the first step is "write out a character concept in 3-5 sentences", so in that sense Jason's idea fits perfectly. Frankly, I can roll either way, since most "space opera" characters should fit.  But if players want an idea of the game world before they start submitting character concepts, you might have to wait a little bit while I scramble to put stuff together.
