As far as setting, I mostly meant like how do the players fit into it. The basic flavor of the campaign.

Are we treasure hunters, exploring ruins on distant worlds for forgotten technologies. Or perhaps bounty hunters, hunting down criminals for fun and profit. Or maybe mercenaries, going on dangerous missions for various organizations and seeking our fortune. Or part of the official police/military force, patrolling for space pirates/alien enemies. Or space pirates, avoiding the patrols and plundering any merchant vessel we can get our hands on. Or possibly down on our luck crew of a merchant ship, trying to eke out a living doing whatever they have to in a dangerous universe. Or any other number of generic space themed clichés that might fit the setting.

Criminal theme - crime of the smuggling/stealing/heist sort. I'd have to say mercenaries, although they certainly don't need to be career mercenaries - perhaps a down on his luck ex-cop, a bounty hunter who hasn't had a successful hunt lately, a hacker who's tired of living in his mom's space-basement, etc. So a mix of career criminals and people who are just so hard up they don't have any choice but to bend the law to make some money.

Hmmm.

What type of aliens would we be able to play? Equine ones, for instance? :P

Don't know enough about the system to decide yet what I'd want to play. Initial thought would be maybe a silver tongued snake type, the kinda guy to talk your way out of a bad situation - or a good prospect for getting everyone into a bad situation if his con goes bad.  :P

Although if you wanted to be the face man, I'd be happy with another role. Maybe the mechanic specialist. Someone has to look after our space ship (assuming as have one? heh).

^ I think we were supposed to be on a planet (singular), and then go on to other ones.

I'd be willing to be something else, though, if you really really want to be the face man.

Let's assume you start on a planet, possibly move to another planet (not using your own ship), and ships *may* be involved. There will definitely be a scene *ON* a ship, but I'm not positive on the piloting part yet. Either way, we can tweak your characters up until the day we play - so if you'd like to be a pilot character, just go with a mech heavy char and we can swap one of your skills with pilot before we start if necessary.

Aliens - anything in the rule book. So besides Human - Caninoid, Felinoid, Floran, Heavy Worlder, Insectoid, and Reptiloid.

As for a time, let's assume (tentatively) the weekend of the 10th - so probably Sat or Sun. Sorry for the long wait, lot of work on my plate and I still have to finish rigging this up with Maptools.

Got room for one more?

I've played many RPGs on IRC, and some PBP (on this forum, no less), though never with maptools. Though I'm sure it can't be too hard to use.

If you can accept one more player then I'd play as a roguish gunslinger/gambler type of character.

Priority in order of who can make it on the same day, then secondary to who posted first. Let's say 6 max.

Order of who posted with interest:
Dsarker
warhammer651
adwarf
Fortis
Un67
Paul
Poltifar

So that's 7... let's see who can attend. Some time around mid-day Dec. 10 EST. Starting somewhere around noon-2PM EST, and say ~4 hours available to play - we might not use all 4 hours, but sometimes these games can run long and nobody wants to stop.

Plan for it to be a 'one off' deal in the event we all can't get on again at the same time.

I'm pretty sure I can make that. I really don't have anything planned for then so unless I'm dragged off on some excursion I'll be fine.

Cool. I would love to have everybody come who's interested, but I'm not sure if I could run 7 people smoothly - that's a lot, especially for first time GM'ng it.

If all 6 of the people who posted before me can attend, I'll drop out. I know that excessive pressure on the GM just ruins the game for everyone.
