Another Campaign Idea!

Okay, so I've been thinking about running a campaign or two for a while now and I'd like to get some feedback. Here are some of the ideas:

In the Future!

You're part of the crew of the first faster than light spaceship. Your mission: to explore a world with life that was discovered far beyond our own solar system. Its sure to be an adventure full of discovery and excitement!

You can either play as a member of the science team, or the security team that protects them and flies the ship. Ideally I'd be looking for a mix of both so that combat and exploration could be dealt out in equal portions.

System: GURPS 4th edition, don't worry I've got the books and its really easy to learn, plus I'll do all the rolling so you don't have to worry about the mechanics. Hell, there's even a program for making your character.

In the Present!

You're part of a team of paranormal investigators in the modern age. Equipped with the latest technology you search out the cause of strange goings on.

System: Spycraft. I'll probably run this or a different spycraft campaign for the Friday night campaign, but I'll try to keep it not actual spy stuff (Read: Worst Spies EVER!)

In the Past! (Sort of!)

You're part of a crew sailing the waters of Europe Theah in the 17th Century. Expect intrigue, swashbuckling, and pirates!

System: 7th Sea. Its a cool system, d10 based and easy to learn and master!


So those are the ideas. Personally I'd like to run Spycraft on Friday nights, but if you guys are more interested in running it in the forums that's cool. I can provide any materials you need for making character so that shouldn't be a problem.

YAR! I'd be down for any of them!

My personal preference would be for either the future or the piratey one, gotta love sci-fi and pirates. Have to think what I would be though. My first instinct would be a mage for the pirate one, but I dont remember how the magic system works. I dunno about the other...

Errr... I cant vote twice... This might take a day or so before I decide which I'll vote for. They both sound so good.

Hold on here, we haven't even gotten to the first battle and we are already starting another campaign??? Damn what are we ferrets?

I have heard of your misadventures with spycraft so I think I will have to vote for that one.

Well its more that we would run another alongside it, I've talked to Mikhael a bunch about it and he's cool with it, and very interested. And its been a while since I've run anything so I'm itching for some action.

Ok, so I voted for the space one. Primarily cause I'm living life at the high seas anyway. I figured if I wanted to "escape" from reality I might try a different genre.

But this doesn't mean that I wouldn't be up for the others. And consider the seas my second choice.

Hmmm...well...that's a tough one...

If you're going to run a campaign on Friday nights IRL then I think the spycraft one. If I'm going to be completely lost and never know what the hell is going on, then at least I can know the system we're playing it in.

If you're doing this thing online, then I think the future one. Go Star Trek! Just so long as I'm not Bones...or Crusher...I've had enough of being the damn healer for a while...

Voted for the high seas, I could definitely go for some swashbuckling. Barring that that Spycraft campaign sounds nice, something different from the traditional stuff we've been doing lately.

Also, something to note: there is no obligation to join this campaign. Just because its on the same forum as the one we're all in doesn't mean you have to join. Heck I'll run something even if I only get two people, and if you don't want to join right away there may be opportunities to join in later (depending on the campaign, no guarantees)

Fuzzball forgot to actually vote in the poll... but she said she was for the futuristic one!

Space Explorers it is! Expect a post in the world information forum soon with links to pertinent materials.

So has anyone else decided on a character for this campaign?

I don't know if I mentioned it to anyone else besides the major, but I was thinking of playing one of the science party. The rough outline for him is a computer programming type, who likes to sidelight on a bunch of his own projects. I'm trying to read through the gurps system right now to determine exactly how to make him.

Right, need to work on that one....
