What gameworld would you want to be in?

[Maester Luwin]

In the Land of Westeros of course. However, I am not sure which House. The North most likely but I would not mind hoisting a tankard with Tyrion! Thanks Maester Luwin

I think there might be worse RPGs then deadEarth... like Spawn of Fashan... and yes, I own both...

Drat... one less person I can manage to pawn off one of my 20 copies of deadEarth onto...

Paranoia's Alpha Complex.

The Computer is my friend. Trust the Computer.

 

[Enforcer]

Eberron for me, where 1 level in a PC class actually counts for something. I'd love to be a kalashtar monk/psion or a Lyrandar swsahbuckler.

 

[Teflon Billy]

Freedom City!

(the excalamtion point was necessary)

The Computer is my friend. Trust the Computer.

Trust no one and keep your laser handy.

 

[Malhost Zormaeril]

The world of the Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters. I'd mug a Centaur, take his four 1 Mgp gems, rinse and repeat until I gain twenty-odd levels, and retire in Elysium.

What are these questions in particular?

Well, the game seems to be good at asking the physical/metaphysical questions: how do you define "human being", in what sense is there a "soul", when do you become a new species, is "medical immortality" a possibility, what are the implications of self-modification, etc. All that's good stuff.

But what about moral sphere: is there a determinate state called "human flourishing" implied by the determinacy of human nature? Are there such things as virtues and vices: i.e., does acting in conformity or disconformity with the specific character of man integrate or disintegrate the personal self?

To me, moral collapse in Transhuman Space seems to be widespread. Therefore I would expect that it exists in a state of progressive mental collapse as well. People are habitually unreasonable nowadays... I can only imagine how foolish they would be in the THS future. But THS doesn't appear (unless I passed over it) to deal with this: that the quality of cognition is linked to moral quality. That's a very traditional idea but THS seems to ignore it.

Same as quite a few other folks, apparently. If I have to be an average Joe, then StarTrek or Blue Rose, because they have nice standards of living.

If I get to be cool, then a Supers game because having superpowers and helping people would be awesome. Something specific to RPGs, though. If I lived in the Marvel Universe or the DCU, I'm afraid I'd get killed off as a cheap marketing ploy.

*isn't going to defend himself for choosing the Scarred Lands* I'm there, that's it.
