[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7720547, member: 20564"] For me, this depends on the setting. for example, the Enterprise isn't the "prime mover" of the glaxy in either TOS or TNG. You can have other ships, meeting same and different aliens, hazards and menaces. Maybe YOU are the group that ended up negotiating the neutral zone, or whatever. There's a lot to do. Compare to something like Firefly or Star Wars where the type of story is so closely tied to the featured group. "I want to play the lovable scoundrel." These you need to really go out of your way to play something significantly different. I like the idea of the recent Star Wars system because they broke it up into three parts that makes it likely that you won't start with expies for the main shows. Dresden is somewhere in the middle - it's shown to be a bigger world, but there are a lot of large happening that are because of one Harry Dresden, and the world isn't showing a lot of new events the size of the vampire war happening off-screen (off-page?). We were collaboratively building a setting to play, based in New Jersey right after Hurricane Sandy, dealing with what all that salt water did for lot of old time protections, bindings and wards.
