Now, will this RPG be more of a futuristic superhero game, such as the Legion of Superheroes, or more of a space opera, ala Star Wars, Star Trek, etc?
Basically a sci-fi version of gods and men.....
Just a suggestion, like they did with Gods and men and DnD, perhaps you could have a popular base for the rough schematics? Like warhammer or something?
Yeah, set in a universe that is already expanded in some way with aliens etc, but have it as a loose thing, so you could have a load of races and worlds already developed massively etc(like dragons, centaurs, elves etc in DnD), but with the abilty to bend it somewhat.
You'd have certain levels of tech etc and know why everything is like how it is, culture etc is a little hard to make up for a whole universe from scratch.
to my knowledge, Warhammer 40K is one of the most expansive, yet open for alteration of all the sci-fi universes.
It's all good, I was just making a suggestion, if people didn't have to read up on everything before begining, then they'd be more likely to sign up is all.
Either way, I'll prob join up! Just offering constructive criticism
Oh, it's a good idea. It's just, it would feel like kind of a wast of time to have come up with all the races we did just to wipe the slate clean. Although, we might reference War Hammer for some non race-specific tech and weaponry.
It's all good, I fully understand with you, could always add some of the alien races from Warhammer40k in to bulk things out etc, dunno really, just tell me if I'm pissing you off or anything, just thinking about widening appeal for you, I will shut up if asked
I'll work on the Junkfolk, seeing as how I'll probably be the only one who picks one up.
Cool, I'll gladly help develop a race, got one you want some more thought put into?(not that there's anything wrong with any of them, just offering to flesh it out more)
I'll have a look at the manorians for you.
Manorian's homeworld is in another solar system right?
Also, are we keeping this all in the milky way right?
Well there are like 100,000 of solar systems in the milky way alone, if we travel further, we're gonna have to develop hyper drives, space hole punching etc, from a sci-fi POV, it's pretty tricky.
