Greetings all! Have you wanted to journey through the stars on an adventure similar to Mass Effect, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc?
While most of us are eagerly anticipating Starfinder, if some of you would like to play a bit more narrative focused space-faring adventure, I’d like to DM a game of Uncharted Worlds, Powered by the Apocalypse System.
This system is somewhat simple, the main drawback being that a lot of the customization at the start of the game does not have online access. But I can simply provide the options then give you the relevant moves and stats, resolving that issue.
If you’re interested and willing, the last issue the players will have to decide is what kind of space-faring journey do you want to experience? The system provides some elements to define the universe, but its flexible enough that we could play in any universe with sci-fi-fi space elements.
Anyone interested? If so, please state your interest in taking part as well as what universe you’d like to play in, and what kind of game you’d like to play (intrigue, action, horror, on the run, exploration, military, etc).
Well, having just come out of your ETU game, I'd be up for this. Hadn't seen it until just now, which is why I didn't post earlier. I have limited experience with the PbtA system, I think--I was in a brief Dungeon World game, and I think that's the same basic ruleset?
In any case, I'd be interested in just about any sort of sci-fi adventure. Among the ones you listed, I think big action science fiction is a lot of fun--pulpy over-the-top heroes and villains (and antiheroes, can't forget those) duking it out in the backdrop of SPACE! That said, fringe-style stories of smugglers or space pirates can also be a lot of fun. I will say that overall I'm a sucker of a space western flair, but that's a less common interest than most, so it's far from a dealbreaker.
Hopefully some more interest crops up for this, because I think it'll be fun. I enjoyed the other game quite a lot, and I think this would be a good time.
EDIT: As far as what universe to play in? I could go Star Wars, although I'm involved in a few games set there right now. Mass Effect could be interesting as well. I'm not as big on Star Trek. However, I personally think sci-fi settings can be ripe for interactive building as you go, creating a homebrew galaxy (or sector, or universe, or whatever) as the game is played.
