Hello fellow Escapists!

I've been around here for little over a month, and so far I've enjoyed my stay grately, roleplaying with very talented people. Now I think it's time for me to try out as a GM.

I recently got an idea for a well planned universe taking place several hundred years into the future, where the Roleplayers take part of an elite squad, protecting Earth and her colonies with several sabotages and assults, and other kinds of missions too. The threats could be other humans, or maybe aliens. Each player would take a different part in the group, such as sniper, medic, explovsives expert, and so on... I would create weapons and such from scratch for you to choose.

Now I'm thinking. Is it worth starting to create this universe? Would anyone be interested in joining such a thing if created?

Sounds like it could be a blast, though I'm still new to a lot of Play-by-Post type gaming.

Ahh, I dunno. Sounds like a great idea in terms of gameplay, but what would you have to advertise as storydriven content? Huge universes require a lot of background! Or else it's in danger of feeling hollow. Not -too- enthusiastic about the whole archetype role system either. Going to vote maybe on this, as I think it has potential.

I just recently started my own little project, not too far from what you are making.

If you want, you can check it [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.195060-Treyas-Frontier-A-future-RP-with-aliens-and-space-Discussion-Creation-stage] out and grab some ideas regarding concept or just whatever you like! :D

Always nice to help out a fellow Escapist! ;) If this turns out good, I might just make a really weird character for everyone's pleasure... (Like I did in Dark Times xD).

Anyway, feel free to use any ideas that I've used, just make sure you make some alterations, I don't want you copy-pasting me :)

Is Explosives Medic taken? Like a medic, I'd heal you, but if you bring me an enemy corpse, I can rig it to explode...

I might in the summer. Unfortunately I do not have time right now, but I will be doing boring work 6 days a week giving me plenty of time to think after school ends.

You'd have to go into some more detail for me to get on board. As you described it, it sounds like a cookie-cutter sci-fi forum game, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Would it be open for player characters to drive the story? Would it be a DM managed, player narrated combat system?

A bit more detail on game mechanics, I suppose, is what I'm requesting.

Oh, and dibs on squad commander.
