SAVE THE COSMOS, GET THE GIRL, BE A ROBOT WITH A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX DISCOVER STRANGE NEW LIFE AND MEET OR EAT IT. WELCOME TO: GALACTIC FLEET!
Okay, since the John is Possessed game didn't end up gaining traction, let's do a game of Laser's and Feelings. It's a one-page space rpg by John Harper. We'll keep it fast and loose, and base this one the tone of Galaxy Quest/Star Trek/The Orville etc.
-
Choose a Style for Your Character: Alien, Android, Dangerous, Heroic, Hot Shot, Intrepid or Savy.
-
Choose a Role for Your Character: Doctor, Envoy, Explorer, Engineer, Pilot, Scientist, or Soldier.
-
Choose Your Number, from 2 to 5: A high number means you're better at LASERS (Technology; Science; Cold rationality; calm, precise action). A low number means you're better at FEELINGS (Intuition; Diplomacy; Seduction; wild, passionate action).
-
Give Your Character a Cool Space Name Like Dirk Fark-hopper or Something:
-
In Your Inventory: You have consortium uniform (with built-in vac-suit for space walks) a SUPER-SWEET-space-phone-communicator-thing (with built in translator), a variable-beam phase pistol (set to stun, of course...usually).
-
Pick a character Goal: Become Captain, Meet New Aliens, Shoot Bad Guys, Find New Worlds, Solve Weird Space Mysteries, Prove Yourself, or Keep Being Awesome.
-
You have a ship: The Technicolor Nebulae, it's Well-Armed, with a Cloaking Device, only it has Horrible Circuit-Breakers.
STORY:
ALIEN BRAIN WORMS WANT TO EMPOWER THEIR GIANT DEATH RAY WHICH WILL DESTROY AN ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM!!!
Okay, that's it for available player spots. As for the game, I'll make one post per scene, additional scenes will respond to that post (to keep things clean and coherent, since Lemmy format isn't ideal for PbP). If you're responding to someone respond directly to their last post, if you're making an action in regards to the scene respond to the scene post. Scenes will always be bolded, so as to differentiate it from regular posts. You'll all have to bear with me this weekend too, since I've been having issues with my Internet at home (on a wifi hotspot in town right now) so we might be a bit slow to get going fully.
