Umbran and Nellisir should let me know what Sci-Fi/Fantasy universe and/or character they wish to draw from.
See, I -KNEW- there was someone I wanted to play; I just needed to let it percolate to the surface!

Ellen Ripley. Aliens. :]

I'm thinking Tough3/Dreadnaught3/Helix Warrior1*
Occupation would be military, technician, or transporter.

*OK, the Helix Warrior is kinda munchkinish, but what the heck, it's cool as anything and fits the character. I'd have to cross-class the Knowledge (tactics) requirement unless she starts as Military or you say Dreadnaught gets Knowledge (tactics). Transporter makes the most sense, though.

I'd like to make up the character; you can email me at nellisir at comcast dot net.

Works for me. I guess that means I should finally sit down and watch those movies! I own VHS copies of both Alien and Aliens but have never seen them!

:eek:
It probably wouldn't hurt to watch Alien Resurrection, either. It's not the best movie, but it's not terrible and it has some pretty great Ripley moments. It's also where the Helix Warrior influence is coming from.

Hey, if you want to build me an addition, you can run a RISUS game in it. :D Actually, I'd love to play that at some time.

Well, my game last year was RISUS-ish, so you've been exposed to it, at least :)

I am going to have to bow out of running my star wars game. I feel like I have too much on my plate right now to finish getting the game together.

If someone else wants to run something in the morning slot, I will step aside.

Alternatively, I will be more than willing to run any of the following card games:

Gloom by Keith Baker - In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions that pile on positive points. The player with the lowest total Family Value wins. Room for five people.

Nanfictionary by Looney Labs - Players combine and recombine Settings, Characters, Problems and Resolutions to create the best story they can, while other players mix things up with wacky Action cards. Everyone votes for their favorites, including onlookers, and the winner is the player who's story garners the most points! Some imagination required. Room for six people.

Guillotine by Paul Peterson - It is the French Revolution and you've got a long line of nobles to behead. The one with the best collection of heads wins. Room for five people.

Zombie Fluxx by Looney Labs - Everything is better with Zombies! Even Fluxx. Grab a Friend and your Chainsaw to mow down an Zombie Quartet. Room for six people.
 

Before we go to card games, let's see if someone else wants to run a RPG! Thanks for letting folks know early, Alex. I'm still going to require you to make ewok sith noises for me.
 

Unfortunately, it is looking like I need to fully bow out of the gameday. I was just reminded I've got family obligations that weekend.

I'll catch people at the next one.
