Revision as of 15:56, 14 February 2007
We have a winner! Now lets make it a reality.
Surprise! I have an idea
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.
OR
Someone else have an idea.
--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.
