Cool sci-fi game
Alright, I'm back all. And I'm trying to come up with a fun scifi game. I'm thinking using GURPS but maybe with some rules imported from the Serenity rpg, including the style of Firefly. It won't be set in the 'Verse though and instead will be in an interstellar setting with a couple fledgling empires. Will include cool stuff like exploration, trade runs, smuggling, whatever you can think of really. I'll be designing the star sector using Astrosynthesis. If you aren't familiar with the program, you can dl a demo at http://www.nbos.com/download/download-trial.htm You won't need the full version for the game, since I'll be doing all the editing of the map then saving it an sending that to the players. So, just looking for some interest and I'll start setting up the game.

Aww, man... I didn't think I'd see anyone mention the Serenity RPG on here. I got that book and I kinda like the system; lite and pretty easy to use.
I'm down for that kind of themed game, though.

Alright, I guess just make sure you're familiar with the gurps lite thing. As far as I can tell 3rd and 4th edition are compatible, which is good cause all my books 3rd edition. I'll explain any house rules when the time comes. In the meantime start working on characters, or character ideas. It'll be 100 points, TL 10, though I'm gonna modify the TL stuff some. I'd assume the group would be a ship crew of some sort, so decide who's what in the crew and come up with ideas for your ship and I can help flesh it out. I guess that's all for now.

GURPS is another world entirely Clone :P. There be lots of systems around.
I'd be interested (I think) in the game, depending on times. But I might just sit in a session or two beforehand. I'm kinda full on games as it is.

You can download gurps lite here: http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG02-0004
Add it to the cart then checkout, it';ll cost nothing and you can dl it right away.
It's a basic version of the rules for GURPS, so if you are familiar with that, anything else you can pick up in the game. Times will depend players, but I'm thinking like evening/night during the week. And you are more than welcome to sit in. If people want to join later, I'll be more than happy to work for character into things. If people want me to help them do characters, my aim is ihathis. I'd like to get the game started soon.

Alright, I'm gonna need some feedback from the players on the game. Who wants to play what part of the crew? Pilot, scientist, gun slinger, whatever. For that matter, what type of crew would you like to play? Exploration, trade/smuggling, colonization, what?

I'm kinda fond of the smuggling thing, but doing missions and such could make for a good time. Missions can always involve smuggling, after all. ;)
I'd be down for playing an upstart weapon's expert or a talented mechanic.

hmm... lesse...
I'd be up for mechanic and hacker. Also pilot, and smuggler. Or any combination thereof. If I come in anyway :P
Haven't played GURPS in a while, and depending on the timing of the game.

Okay, so we potential have a pilot, a mechanic, maybe hacker and weapons expert. All could be useful. I'm going to use an adapted version of the GURPS cyberpunk netrunning rules. We're going to need some more crew, I'd like atleast 4, if not 6 players, though I can flesh out the crew with some NPCs. I might want to run a one-on-one for each player to intro new rules as they apply to your character and get a little back story on how the crew got together.

When were you planning to run the game, time-wise? I know Saber's schedule is a bit... off of the normal person's, so it might be an issue.
Right now I'm likely looking at a pilot/hacker (if Saber does a mechanic), or pilot/hacker/mechanic (if I can fake it, anyway) if Saber's going weapon spec. In any event, pilot is a part of my probable character's focus (hey... we need a pilot). Base personality getting worked out as we speak.

Time would depend on the players I guess. We'll see.

At the moment, I think my weekend game is in the process of dying :(. So Saturday/Sunday late night would be a wonderful place to aim for (if it's possible)
Friday's, for me, aren't so good. I DM that night, and I'm not sure exactly how much I want to try being a player in one game and DM in another game during the same timeframe :P, but we can try
