[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8349344, member: 6704184"] Thanks! I'd like to someday put out a sourcebook for it. A big part of the idea is to only develop enough of the galaxy to be able to start making characters. The rest gets developed using character backgrounds/concepts, exploring story hooks, etc. So, I have a character who I wanted to be basically a Galaxy Ranger from the show of the same name, tied to the New Commonwealth of Free Worlds, and so we developed the bones of such an organization during character creation (what is your rank, are there ranks? how were you recruited or how did you earn your way in? how like or unlike a "cop" are you, compared to a romanticised marshal or ranger of the old west?) and then during play (your captain calls <improv ensues, world grows more detailed>). Meanwhile my buddy wanted to play something like a Jedi, but free of the SW canon he came up with the idea that they're stretched very thin but they recruit from pretty much anyone who can be trained to be a magical/mystical warrior, and the idea that they often work as free agent arbiters in disputes, indipendent investigators, and when needed as bounty hunters. We are working on formalising some of that process, and frankly we are looking to play some pbta games in order to get a wider range of ideas on different ways to do so that don't rely as much on the DM and players all knowing eachother pretty well.
