[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 984207, member: 7172"] I'm presently thinking of running a PBP game where I want to advance the Urban Arcana setting time period to something a bit more post-modern, and then blend in elements and ideas from Star Wars and Shadowrun (or the movie [i]Blade Runner[/i], for those unfamiliar with Shadowrun). Basically, a world several hundred years ahead of ours, with Jedi mysticism, some advanced technology (not Star Wars-level technology, so no lightsabers). Society would have advanced into a more megacorporation style; the Jedi would represent a more global police and peackeeper force (possibly affiliated with a UN-like organization), while Dark Jedi would be doing what they do best -- seeking the subjugation of all existence and destruction of anything good and pure. One of two campaigns would evolve from this basic idea -- either a mercenary group outside the standard establishment who works for either themselves or the establishment (sorta black-ops or illegal procurement), or a group of Jedi and their affiliates working as peacekeepers and investigators. The Jedi would be a knightly order of sorts, but technology would not have advanced enough to allow for lightsabers; we'd be working with blades similar in nature to Sith Blades. There may also be some other variant classes, but most of the classes would be out of the Star Wars book. So... anyone find an idea like this interesting? This campaign is not even close to prepared -- this is just a post to test the waters and see if developing something like this would be even worthwhile (would I be able to get players for it)... :D [/QUOTE]
