WJ, You said:
" - You will play two characters: a hero and a villain (to another player's hero)
- The setting is futuristic but with emphasis on sociology and psychology (less Starship Troopers and more Blade Runner or Gattica)
- It's an indie game, so we're working on story instead of racking up kills"
And I just want to point out that, technically, players will be playing a protagonist and an antagonist, rather than a hero and a villain. It sounds nitpicky, but those specific literary terms are used for a reason. Not that anyone here will care, but I'm the kind of rectal concavity who just *has* to point stuff like that out.
Also, "GATTACA" cannot have an "I" in it, because the letters are a DNA sequence, and there are only 4 letters that appear in those- G, T, C, and A. Again, the only person who will care is me, but I can't help myself.
Also also, 3:16- Carnage Among the Stars is an indie game, and is specifically and entirely about racking up kills. (At least on the surface.) Whether or not a game is about killing or not, and whether or not it's an indie game, are completely unrelated issues.
Yes, I'm done being an indie gaming nitpicker now. We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.
And finally, there's no GM in Shock:. Unless you're gonna not play and just facilitate. If that's the case, then I salute your willingness to deprive yourself for the benefit of others. You da man.
