Well I want to use a video game mechanics. So we just pick something that the majority of people have yet is cheap enough new people could buy. And hell the GM could make up a world.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Oh, wait, you said morels...

As far as fantasy setting... I'd go with Shirley Manson in the schoolgirl outfit she wore at the VMA's one year...

PR - yeah, I'm with Tsu. What kind of master swordsman is there in 'Trek - and what exactly would that accomplish in ship-to-ship fighting?
Maybe a ship designed specifically for boarding an enemy vessel? An enemy vessel is worth more intact then destroyed. Since we seem to be leaning towards SW I guess a ship with a ton of Ion cannon power. Just been watching an anime called One Piece lately and one of the characters is a swordsman known for using a triple sword technique. But if it proves impractical I guess I'll just save the character design for another time.

In a SW RP, there'd be plenty of room for a swordsman-type character. Me, I'm sticking with my trusty blaster. :wink:

Well, if we do a Star Trek RP I think I can come up with a well-balance swordsman-type character but a SW swordsman would be a lot easier.

It seems that we are leaning to SW. Sword based characters could be Jedi, Dark Jedi, sith, Gray Jedi, Jensaarai, Imperial Knight or Noghri. Thats all I can think of for now. All of which can be ship bound and serve in fleet matters.

Depends on the time the Star Wars RP takes place.

I think Grey Jedi is relativly close to how I'd be. And they aren't limited to a specific era like some of the others.

Then you would have to figure on what you would be doing in the RP. I would be making up missions of different sizes and values. Your Gray Jedi would be a free lance so you could go anywhere and do anything.

I think this has promise. Nice work, Deep.

What if we were to let all of us be plunged into the unknown and take somehting rather obscure, or design our own universe/ hell, I can even imagining us 'invading' coalitionverse, which our administrator thought up.

Wait a minnim. PR is talking about his Errol-Flynn-in-space character, but I thought the gist of this was to play as ships, meybe even eventually task groups if we're succesful enough.
