Spycraft? SotC? Traveller? Etc.? What to run - opine here!

[Xer0]

I should rephrase. I'd take the space opera in general over Traveler, but if the option is Traveler to get the space opera, that's fine too.

Okay, you two (three)?, how does Thousand Suns sound to you. It's inspired in great part by Traveller, but more the traveller of the LBBs (no setting, generic "Imperial SF"), but is a new game released like days ago.

I actually have to still read my copy to determine if it is something I want to run.

For Seonaid's benefit, it even has alien construction rules; I could add an Aslan.

More info on Thousand Suns here.

As a back up, I have something for SotC that might have some pulp SF overtones I was working on for GenCon that I might could pull off the back burner.

Well, they certainly earned their indy cred by using d12s.

Eh, I'd be willing to give it a whirl if it's really something you'd like to try, but I'd still much prefer SotC.

Of course, this might be moot for me depending on what slot you're planning on running -- we need more games slated, which might push me to run one, and then there's Crichton's M&M game that I *absolutely* must play.

Yeah, I'd be up for Thousand Suns. I'm always looking for something different to play.

After reading a few pages since last post, I may be leaning that way.

Is that a vote for the morning slot then?

Absolutely. I mean, I'm torn... I always want to run something, but I don't think I get to play enough. So... yeah.

 

[John Crichton]

Absolutely. I mean, I'm torn... I always want to run something, but I don't think I get to play enough. So... yeah.

I'm having the same issue. I know that I'm running at night and want to play in the morning session but I have another idea brewing that I may want to try.

Wait, there's a night game? Or do you mean afternoon?

And do tell, what's this idea?

 

[Seonaid]

I don't need to play Aslan, I just generally like them. I don't need to play Traveller, I just generally like it. I like it more for the flavor, though, so I don't care what system/setting it is. I guess I like space opera generally, but I've never played anything other than Traveller in that genre, so I don't know for sure.

Basically: if you run space opera, I'll play. If you run space opera with nothing resembling the Aslan, I'll play. If you run in the same slot as Crichton's M&M game, I might not play.
