Interest Check: Ongoing Space RP
« on: June 07, 2018, 02:55:03 pm »

I have been wanting to GM a game like this for some time and would like to see if anyone would be interested in this before I start. The basic premise is that the players are the captain and crew of a spaceship in lawless space and will have to figure out how to fend off the pirates and make money - even if this means they become pirates themselves.

As for the game system, this would most likely use GURPS. I would probably let players tell me what they want to do and handle all the rules behind the scenes for the benefit of the unfamiliar.

What's a GURP? Also, do you create your own character?

A beginner, I see. No worries. GURPS is the Generic Universal Role-Playing System, published by Steve Jackson Games. I will be using the Fourth Edition. You can find a 32-page intro as a free PDF here. Character generation in GURPS is a bit of a tricky affair, especially for someone not well versed in the system, so I will probably give you a selection of pre-generated characters to choose from.

Interesting and fun! I've got the relevant books so I might like to play?

Can the spaceship be like an anomalous one? SCP style?

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Sound fun so im intrested, but i'll warn you now that gurps is much too slow if we each wait to roll in turn.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
