Space Adventure and Exploration RPG

[Black Robed One]

Hi, people!

I have been thinking about DMing Space Adventure and Exploration RPG for quite a long time already, and by now I have everything ready to start it as soon as I will get at least a few players.

This Online RPG will not be using any particular system, and thus, no checks or dice rolls will be made. However, each of the characters will have strengths, weaknesses and skills, all of which will have to be included into character’s description and have much in-game effect. Even though this Online RPG can be considered a Freeform Online RPG, it will be played in separated section, which I would ask Shadowdragon to make as soon as I will have at least a few players.

Speaking of PCs, all of them will be crew of a very powerful starship that has been constructed by the Human race with help of the ancient but powerful technologies. PCs will be in the military service the Human race, and all PC will be expected to be members of the Human race. However, of course Human race isn’t going to be alone in the galaxy, and so, PCs will encounter a lot of various alien races, some friendly, others hostile, but all with their own goals.

Speaking about races, I will be using races from Star Control reality, as well as Star Control reality itself. However, no knowledge about Star Control reality is required for playing this Online RPG (in fact, I actually expect players to have no knowledge about Star Control reality, as this way I will be able to add more surprises into the game)! Almost immediately after PCs will encounter a race, I will post whatever information is available about this race in appropriate thread. Same goes to the starships, various devices, and all the others aspects of Star Control reality. However, keep in mind that PCs won’t have much information about many of the races and that PCs won’t have any information about some of the races at all. In most cases, only basic (if any) information will be given to PCs, the rest they will have to learn for themselves. And from time to time, it won’t be easy for PCs to get information about some of the races.

To start this Online RPG, I would like to have at least three people who will be willing to play it to fill three following roles on PC’s spaceship: Captain, 1st Pilot and 1st Gunner. However, if there will be more players willing to play this Online RPG, more roles will be available: First Lieutenant, Radar/Communication Specialist, Navigator, 2nd Pilot, 2nd Gunner and Head Technician. Keep in mind, however, that some roles will play lesser (in some cases, significantly lesser) role in controlling the ship then the other roles.

So, if anybody is interested in playing this Space Adventure and Exploration RPG of mine, please make the post in this thread. As soon as I will have at least a few players interested in playing this Space Adventure and Exploration RPG of mine, I will ask Shadowdragon to make a section for this Space Adventure and Exploration RPG of mine, where I will provide you with all the information necessary for creating a character.

P.S.

Please, keep in mind that it will take me some time to get this Online RPG started, and even when it will be started it will likely go on rather slowly. And so, if you are looking for a quick gaming, this game is probably not for you.

I myself have been wanting to do a more sci-fi/space rpg for many months now,....but I am swamped already ne?

However, this is a great idea BRO-sama, and I would like to join,.....that is of course, if you would like me to.

The position of 1st Pilot sounds very interesting,....as I was thinking for a character for a idea of my own space rpg to be in a pilot position,.....but will be also geology based,.....*Regina blushes*.....you know me my beloved.

Thus that character could be an astrogeologist, and would link in with the piloting skills,....I was thinking this could be possible, as the character would have studyed this whilst in the military training? I thought it may work as: Harrison H. Schmitt, is a USGS (United States Geological Survey.) geologist and Apollo 17 astronaut. I thought that may make the character more able to work in not just the piloting area and be more useful,....however; that is my opinion, and if this is not something you would like then dismiss all I have said.

However, I still would like to play in this rpg of yours BRO-sama. So, if you would like for me to join, I shall gladly.

Of course, you are welcome to join, my beloved Regina-chan! I like your idea for a character, and indeed, a character with more then one talent will definately be useful; as this RPG won't be limited with space travel and combat, there will be plenty of negotiation and planetary exploration. Keep in mind, however, that Earth's division into countries has been removed in this RPG's reality some time ago, although some people still remember from which country their ancestors originally came from, as and some institutions and organizations still bear their old country's names as part of their own name.

Anyway, naturally I need a few more players before starting this RPG...
