Good idea, we should use the thread to do some of the brainstorming parts of the game. For those who haven't read through the manual yet, each turn will be controlled by the "director". The director will be changed every turn, in a pre-determined order. They decide what characters are going to be in what location in that scene, but the director can't choose their own character of course. It pretty much is then based off the directors imagination, along with the other player's input.

But then how do we control our characters? How can we call them "Ours" if we cannot do anything with them? Also, where will the full game be hosted.

I imagine that the Horror Movie would have to be pretty damn high budget to be able to afford a believable outer-space theme. Also, nothing too fancy, like Incenteration Beams or Phaser Guns. Those are Overdone/Cliched to death.

I haven't really read the manual in detail yet, just the basics. But from what I read you still control your character's, the director just chooses what minor characters and major characters will be in the scene, along with where they are. The Director control's the minor characters, and the player's control their characters.

And yeah, no lazer guns!

I am pretty sure we are done with most of the setting for now. Can't think of anything rigth now that will not come in at a later stage.

So unless anyone has anything else to contribute, it will be time to move onto the next stage of devlopment!
The Map.

[Bdthemag]

Yup, we don't need anything fancy. I'll give the beta version of it a shot, but it would be awesome if a few of the player's also made a map. We can vote on which one we like best.

It has to have around 10 room's, and has to follow the rules in the manual.

I was actually thinking that the Overun position (Which is a position that if the Menace overruns it, it provides a bonus to the menace.), would be the Generator Room. When its destroyed then all of the lights go out, and the menace becomes more stealthy.

EDIT: Reading through the manual again I just wanted to state the Director doesn't really decide where the character's are going. The player's say thing's like "My character is going to X" and the director can choose to create a scene from that.

Basically, I think, the setting should be pretty normal. Only unrealistic thing is economical spaceships. Another good overrun position might be one could be the security room. If it gets a hold of that then it would be hard to get weapons because it's hiding there.

Anyway, I think the map should be in a ring fashion, with the main shopping center being just one room with all the little stores being part of it.

In my opinion, the best weapons are the security weapons but they require good training to go along with it. The second best would be sports items (Bats, golf clubs, BB guns) and maintenance tools (Wrenches, crowbars, emergency oxygen tanks). A good advantage would be "Knows how to operate security weapons"

[Bdthemag]

Yeah, but its way more fun to make a weak character and try to survive. The game will probally go for one session since its a pickup and play game, then we'll see if anyone wants to do it again with a different setting.

[Fniff]

Well, the point is is that every character has an advantage. It's a mechanic. A weak character can be weak in all other aspects, but have one thing that makes them a bit more likely to survive. But anyway, yes. I would like to build up a gaming group so that we can have fun many times, but if it doesn't go down well, that's that.

I'm In

Im not sure if you read the thread, but we're full.

[Fniff]

Alright, I think we have about three other people... Furtuka or Stabby is sort of hard to guess, though, along with newsmuffin. I am not sure if they have decided properly yet.

[Bdthemag]

I prefer to play games with people I know will generally be good people to play with. So Newsmuffin is in, Johnfalcon is in, and im debating if we should add in Furtuka or Stabby.

I prefer player's who know how to tell a story, no offense to you Stabby.

[Fniff]

Hm. Furtuka is a pretty cool guy.

[Bdthemag]

Hm. Furtuka is a pretty cool guy.

He roleplay's in the forums and doesn't afraid of anything.

Stabby on the other hand, i've only seen him in the LCS forums.

[Fniff]

And that's two Pretty Cool Guy jokes I have made so far. Well, one and a half.
