Poll

Let's run the questions through a poll.

Which Era do we set the game in  
The Next Century  - The next Era, who knows what wonders, or horrors, await)
Twenty minutes into the future.  - 2020-2030
Renaissance  - 19the century
The Age of Discovery - 1500-1600
Feudal Era -800-1200 AD Europe
The Classic Cultures - Greece/ Early Rome
Ancient Middle East - Egypt, Babylon,
Other
Realism:
World of Magic - A world where the laws of physics are considered guidelines. There are only few who do not defy reality on a daily basis
Part of Society - Reality defying things are an integral part of society.
Balanced - While magic or other reality defying things exist, they're not prominent.
Realism Extra - Though the extraordinary exists, it's rare. Trying to find or exploit it will require significant investment in resources.
Cold, hard realism - No magic of any kind of shape. The laws of physics are harsh, and undefeatable.
World
Garden World - An expansive world with a multitude of resources, fertile ground and large human population
Earth - Though harmed by the past, and certainly not perfect, the world is still a good home to it's human population
Wasteland - The world is a massive inhospitable wasteland, its resources are scarce, its population small. Humanity gathers around those places which enjoy a relative abundance of resources
Setting:
A New Golden Age - A true Golden Era dawns for humanity. Innovation, Industry, and Society explore new boundaries. Tales of this era will last for centuries.  
 A Bright Future - For a variety of reasons, humanity prospers. There's relative peace, and all is going well.
Stable - Humanity stagnates, but is still far from decay. While Innovation might be hard to find, there's relative peace, and people are happy.
The Lights are going out - Several nations are at war, many still remain neutral, but the number of battles, and war declarations are growing by the week.
A Dark Age - An all out war has covered the world. Military forces are clashing all over the lands. The effects of this are unknown, but Tales of this era will last for centuries.
Foci of the republic: Pick 3
A) Agriculture
B) Industry
C) Trade
D) Education
E) Expansion
F) Production
G) Economy
I) Military
J) Defensive Focus
K) Extraordinary things (Basically, things that fall under the realism slider above)
Game Mechanics:
Suggestion Game
Forum game with multiple players and characters
Forum game with multiple players and characters (Which I would probably join)
Should this poll be ignored and the GM get on with the Game
Yes
No
Don't bother, the thread serves better as a discussion thread for GUNINANRUN's games

  YES and the republic is a dictatorship ruled by one extremely loved family of politicians, bankers, and Army officers. They have a strong personality cult around them as well and were fighting to marry all the way to the tippity top!

PTW. I like all of the options suggested.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Well, you could vote for another idea instead of being defeatist! ((Preferably for a non-SG idea as well.))

B) Twenty minutes into the future.  - 2020-2030  +   G) Ancient Middle East - Egypt, Babylon   =  Option Z) Future Desert World


A) World of Magic - A world where the laws of physics are considered guidelines. There are only few who do not defy reality on a daily basis

I want to have a genie in my hovercar. And a camel nomads with lasers. Also bounty hunting in the dunes? Yes, please. Watch out for 6 foot long antlions and 6 mile long sand wurms. At least until you hire a psyker who can MIND CONTROL THEM. Plus necromancy and firebolts and magical elixirs and staffs of ultimate power and lasers and shapeshifters and sand demons and lava monsters and magical street fighters and seers who predict city-stripping magical sandstorms full of cursed locusts and laser scimitars and cool turbans and trading silk with sand mages and living doors and the real forty thieves and giant nuisance beetles that breathe fire and sand tigers and sand golems and massive sand walkers and 50 foot tamed elephants and magical sniper archers whose arrows fly a hundred miles an hour and cursed demon limbs and gold that can talk and magic carpets with laser-wielding nomads atop them and magical carpet weavers and turbans of holding...


B) Earth - Though harmed by the past, and certainly not perfect, the world is still a good home to it's human population

Everybody's cool, but not that cool.


A) A New Golden Age - A true Golden Era dawns for humanity. Innovation, Industry, and Society explore new boundaries. Tales of this era will last for centuries.

Robot camels.


The Republic
C) Trade           - \
F) Production     -  ------>  Super Future Bazaar. Giant sand crawlers with goods loaded in them defending themselves from sand raiders.
G) Economy      -  /

B) Character Driven  --- AND we'll get to be the badass prince that goes around doing everything himself and blasting giant scorpions and stuff.
