Sure, Imerak, you're up (I thought I had let in everybody who was on the other thread), and just to be safe, Knight Otu, you can join too. Now, character concepts (don't worry about full-statting)!

Note, you can spend more than an edge on possession/divine inspiration/visions. It just needs to be clearer what's going on there, although it might be good to have a more human base to start with. rule note: You can actually change your traits during your spotlight episode, or in certain other...

First, with 4 players, I'm locking recruitiment for the moment. If any of you plan not to play, you should let me know, but I don't feel this game improves with more than 4 players. I think that the messages are obscure, and the protagonists are the people with the talent and motivation to...

Comments: The Story Arc is good stuff. Note there is an outstanding issue of: "How did you get from the mental asylum to the team?", but until the issue is introduced: "Dr. Saint, why did they let you out of the asylum?" "Wait a second, you never told us you were in an asylum?" there's no...

I like the emphasis you're putting on human technology versus spiritual mysticism. This tension should be evident all over the place, and I think is probably one of the core themes in the game. Having tension even within the party between those who trust only the orderly hum of technology and...

Some basic guidelines: First, the protagonists should all have good reason to be together. This does not mean that they have to like each other, or know each other very well. If you have a cool idea for "How protagonist A and B came to meet", then it's very simple: request a flashback scene in...

Astralnauts is a TV show about a modern world that has been invaded by spirits and creatures: some of the these encounters have gone horribly, and some have gone well, but overall the human population is very fearful. The Astralnauts are a group of people, funded by/beholden to ________, who are...

Right. I'd say that PTA favors not having too extensive of a "plot arc" bible: the mechanics of PTA are all about building a plot as you go. You'll see as I post the system in the new thread that's coming any hour now, in which my job as a producer for an episode is to come up with a kickass...

I think it's interesting as well, but I wonder whether the stuff you describe might be better as the developing arc for season 1 rather than the base setting, that at the start, people are confused and just figuring things out, and then as people become more familiar with astral travel and...

By the way, barring any sudden shifts in opinion, tonight, we're going to move to Astralnauts (or whatever it ends up as) as the show, and start with protagonist creation.

Hmm. So I like, and Astralnauts is a much better name, but I worry slightly about the humans have magic users and psychics and all that, because now, instead of a 'normal' humanity dealing with a 'weird' spiritual invasion, it's weird humans and weird spirits. How about this twist? We're...

It does, I like it. I note that it is not only possible, but very viable to have a different producer each episode: the system is simple enough that doing rules mechanicing is very simple. We have a lot of worthwhile ideas on this thread: we need to coalesce into one idea, and then flesh it out...

Hey, you don't even need to buy any books! Email me off-list james dot stuart at gmail dot com and I'll put you on the organizational email (we've already got three others, so if we can all agree on a time and place, then that's a go).

Do you imagine this being civil law? If it's criminal, could this not be a merge together of the Capes ideas above: i.e. the world has visible supernatural elements (of some form or another) in it, here are the detectives/prosecutors/super-naturals themselves who live in it? I guess the most...

Both of those seem neat: here are some questions for you or anybody else to answer. (Remember, the setting ideally is the result of everybody working together) a) Do you imagine the teenagers are in a academy sequestered from the rest of the world? Are they being trained by the military? Is...
