Oh dear its Navi.
Right. I'll note that this isn't a spur of the moment thing, its been in the mental process for a couple of months now. I am now finalizing it, putting it on hypothetical paper and bringing it to show and tell.
Thats right, mates. I am looking to bump up to a GM rank. Not really the reason for this, but thats moot. My penguin self has advertized on various forums and such for a bit now, and with that in mind with also the fact that this plot ship will be radically different from any other plot ship, I don't worry of ruining playerbases and making something similar for people.
Right. Here we are, the actual plot details.
It will be JP-only, basically. Think Asamoya. Why JP-only? Because JP only has that speed thats all to perfect for RP. Its fast enough to keep yourself in the mood through a situation or setting, while also being slow enough for you to think in your character's mindset, while not yours. At the same time it doesn't let you think things through a lot. You get pressed with a set of choices, to make a choice then and there or you hold up the chat and get yelled at with a couple of fist shakes, too. You don't have time to balance out each choice on a heavy scale, if you pick the wrong one and don't like it... Well... Oh well.
Now, keep thinking Asamoya. Why? 'Cause it'll be 18+. No, that doesn't mean everyone will be 'Making biscuits' and such constantly with each other. Sex is a possiblity, but not a main stream thing. Why the 18+ tag, then? Because there is freedom. I like freedom, freedom is good. 18+ isn't just for sex, there are lots of different things that can be done in 18+ territory.
Now then, I've told you its JP-only and 18+. Now I'll tell you more.
Its not a military plot. Its a civilian plot. Its not the Yggdrasil, either. When you think about what this plot will be, you will (I force you too with my mind rays, or something) think of Firefly. The show, not the insect. A crew that takes all sorts of jobs, trading, outlawish, even piratical if the need calls for it and the crew agrees.
The plot will be Social with Action, as well. Also reinforcing the Firefly thought. (And, just to note... I came up with the ideas, and THEN linked it to Firefly in my head. I am not basing this off the show. ) The action will also be involving all the PCs I can in a given situation. Not just combat ones, necessarily, in a combat. You also don't need to be some sort of wiki lounger. How will I do this with both instances?
Because, the combat will barely be Ship-to-ship at all. When it is, there are turrets for people to man or such. Things that need doing. It won't be 'Har har, I r GM and thus do all the work with Power armors pretending they are doing stuff' or something. In actuality, I probably won't even be doing anything save order people, ICily. The pilot will fly, the people with weapons for the situation will shoot, etc. But, like I said, it won't be Ship-to-ship much.
Instead, it will be on foot more. And no, I don't mean in a Power armor. There more likely won't be Power armor. (Gaspeth, you say!) Nope. You'll have a pistol/rifle/etc, gravity probably, and your feet on metal/dirt/whatever, and some guys over there. No teleporting, no WMDs, etc.
Another quirk is that death will be a lot more permanent then usual. Save in rare situations, there won't be a respawn button. If you die, then you'll be dead. The chance of getting a ST back up or whatever the Nep equilivant was is vaguely low. So no suicidal charges, retreats are necessary. You won't beable to win them all. That said, I am not going to run around with a chain saw going down town on you lot, so don't worry.
The crew would be close, because they'll be running around with each other and depending on each other. The races of the crew are actually up to the players. No Mishhu, obviously, but there are no other banns. (I'll think of something for a Freespacer should it be needed.) You could play a Neko, too, but make sure either she went through her required tour of duty or keeps that secret to herself.
We'd need a Pilot, Engineer, and some sort of Medical person. Thats a requirement, with me captain character possibly able to fill in if really needed. On top of that we'll need a cook, or have people take turns in the kitchen. We don't NEED someone who is ONLY a dude with a gun. Really, don't. We could take on people who will make money for the ship (IE: We could get a band of sorts or something, or a craftsman who will... Well... craft stuff.) and such. There is a possible position for a Fighter Pilot, but that, along with the craft that said pilot would fly, will be made available once the required positions (The first three, although we might be able to go without a medical person... If we want to die a lot.)...
In theory, you could make whatever you damn want. However, if that person isn't some how helping the ship out, that person will be a passenger. And that person better be able to pay! (But I want a permanent cast of players. )
So, the facts are these:
JP-only
18+
Firefly-esque, civilian
No respawn
Awesome GM with a Penguin obsession, apparently. :mrgreen:
Now, who is interested? Questions? ... I better not have missed anything.
