Several of them seem to be overused..
How about something.. different for a change?
Such as.. A group of Liberals trying to overthrow the Arch-Conservative system? 

But I suspect it's been done as well.  :P

this + deus-ex style cyber punk.

I have to go pretty soon, but I just wanted to say, keep on discussing. I'm thinking I'll start up the new thread either later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Sorry to double-post, I'd just like to reach some sort of consensus or something on what the setting would be. So far people have suggested

Space Ship(s)
Liberal Crime Squad
DF
Vampires in the Middle Ages
Ragnarök
Ragnarök
the Rapture
Vampire Vikings
DWARVEN Vampire Vikings
DWARVEN Vampire Vikings In SPAAAAAAAACE!
Liberal Crime Squad + deus-ex style cyber punk
Space Ship(s)

I'm starting to like the Space Ships idea, but if anyone really doesn't want that, please say so. Also, if you know where the bottom part of my sig is from, you'll know I don't mind magic in a space opera. Let me know if you do. Otherwise, if no one has any objections, I'd like to start up a new thread sometime tomorrow.

I'd probably play if I wasn't in a similar situation as CriptFiend.
I'd vote for space ship, though. Role Playing aboard a space ship would be awesome.

I'm not sure whether to have one big space ship or a couple of smaller, player-owned ships. It's like the difference between Star Trek and Firefly. On the one hand you have a whole bunch of swanky gear, but it's technically space-government property, and it's use is for space-government approved activities only. On the other hand, you have some stuff that may not be the best, some might call it shitty, but it's your's, to do with as you like.

So cowboy space opera?

Well, it wouldn't have to be Firefly, exactly. Mostly we'd just be borrowing one of its themes, and it was pretty much just an example. As for the setting, I'd like to work out the finer details in play, as I'd like this to be a as much a collaborative process as possible, while at the same time maintaining momentum so that this doesn't fizzle out before it even gets started.

I'd say everyone is a single group of ragtag misfits with their own ship.
