[Mullet Master]

I want to run an RP game in this forum that is slightly more complex than an RTD. Right now I'm kicking around ideas for 3 different games , all with different gameplay styles and settings.  I only have the time to develop/run one game, so I'd like to see what players are most interested in. If you have another suggestion, post it up.

Spoiler: "Sci-fi Mining/Survival" (click to show/hide)

Synopsis : You are in an asteroid mining colony and something goes wrong. Terribly wrong. You are buried alive on a dangerous world and have to dig your way out.
Play style : Building and planning, some possible or management of NPCs. Small chance of combat. This is a race against the clock. Turns (time) is limited and resource/time management is key.
Player interaction : Cooperative.

Spoiler: "Cyberpunk" (click to show/hide)

Synopsis : It's the future, and corporations are waging war against each other.  You're on a mission to break into an ultra-secure facility and steal research info. Game world strongly influenced by Shadowrun but with a much less complex character creation system. 
 
Play style : Dependent on players. Stealth, combat, creativity all possible.

Player interaction : Depends on number of players. It is very possible that two squads could compete against each other.

Spoiler: "Steampunk" (click to show/hide)

Synopsis : In an alternate past, dominant countries are preparing their "flagship" weapons in preparation for a world war ... but they haven't been designed yet. Players will design a vehicle (such as a giant steam-powered robot, airship, giant tank, all will follow a generic steampunk theme)

Play style :
Phase 1 : Players will design their flagship "machines of war", taking into account construction time, cost, etc. Fairly in-depth. Designs will be secret. Only "turn" info posted will be market information (such as coal, steel, etc.) and global/notary events. Some events will be PMed to players.
Phase 2 : Countries will begin producing weapons and various worldwide events may cause players to change their plans. 
Phase 3 : Countries will go to war ( war is simulated by flagship vs flagship vehicles only ). Production time plays a major, major effect - various countries can win simply by having their vehicle built a significantly long time before their competitors.

Combat between flagships will be done without player interaction, and 3 "simulations" will run so that sheer luck isn't likely to cause a complete win.

Player interaction : Player vs. player.

I'm just here to watch, but cyberpunk. steampunk is overdone.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Both the Steampunk and Cyberpunk ideas are interesting, before voting however, how would you be doing this combat simulation between flagships for the steampunk idea?

After thought, I also switch to

All of these sound interesting, and the steampunk has the most novel and interesting gameplay. If it ends up steampunk I'll probably join.

[Spartan 117]

So, a Cyberpunk stealth combat game, which is pretty standard, is more unique then a Steampunk War Machine designing game?

I vote Steampunk.

PUNK TO THE STEAM.

Seriously, I'm gonna start sketching out plans for my flagship now.
