Then we buy some space whale grog
To feed to our space whaling dog
To track down a nasty foooooog
That is a hog

I am horrible at rhyming.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I actually meant this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60BjkUtqxPE

[Yoink]

I knew a space whaler named Rodrigo/
And each day a-whaling he would go/
Flying through deep space, with such dangerous cargo/
All to give frenchies their eldritch escargot.

It's "Whalers on the Moon", from Futurama. Seemed to fit.

Okay, so all that really remains here is to get the Eldritch Whale Metamorphica set up, and decide on most of the content stuff. I'm thinking to treat the ship and its systems like crew - i.e. the more money spent on something, the higher stats it has. Say, a hundred credits per point? A weapon might have Damage and Accuracy as parameters, so under the Progressive system you'll want to spend at least 1000 creds on a weapon - 5 to damage, 5 to accuracy, otherwise hitting and damaging something will be a problem. And so on. Hopefully, the shop trips won't take more time than the encounters themselves.

Gosh. Well I hope that I'm awake when/if you start it.

Eldritch Whale Metamorphica. What a lovely phrase.

So, since the game's kinda popular, a poll is in order. Would you rather have players control the space whales, or just the GM? The differences are... well, basically it'll mean that if the GM is the only one making the whales, the Metamorphica won't have to be either fixed, or terribly detailed, while player-controllable monsters would mean that there'd have to be a more concrete generation system "under the hood".

I'd prefer gm-controlled.

You people are men of few words, and even fewer mouseclicks.

GM-controlled would be better, probably. Would probably save a bit of trouble and streamline the game that way.
