Ok I an thinking of running one sci-fi game. I am a bit rusty in running this genre but think I will give it a go.

I want to say I have put no time in prep so depending on what interest there is, I t may take a week or so to put the beginning of it together.

I will be using Tiny Frontiers (revised) and possibly TFMecha and Monsters.

I plan on taking 4 players for this. You will have to decide on roles each character will have (such as pilot, engineer, medic,combat specialist and so forth. You may have multiple roles but a team that has cohesion is a must).

I have a few different types of game I am looking at (but only one will be chosen) also depends on interest.

1. Tiny Battletech -I would be using 3025 and converting those mechs to TF:M&M. There will be no fedcom or clans and the timeline starts then and goes where I want.

2. Some type of bounty hunter/Fixer group - where the characters gets tossed together working for a patron/benefactor/someone you owe bigtime. Think cowbow Bebop/firefly level of tech.

3. Military style game where they group is a special forces type based on a ship (they will have fighters or mechs to use but sometimes will have to stretch their feet as well.) ideas was something like possibly Renegade legions, Gundam or even Robotech style but where you are part of the military.

4 I am willing to entertain another but you will have to sell it to me.

I bought Tiny Frontiers a bit ago but never have gotten a chance to play in it, would be interested in the game. Option 2 likely would be easiest to fill a game with, followed by option 3 as my two choices.

I am interested in one of your tiny games but currently at my limit of games.

I'm always down for scifi. My vote is for one or two.

Well we have two votes for #2 so I will begin getting it ready. I also am having a problem setting up the forums for it. i was told it is being looked at so I will wait to post there until I know what is going on. I think I have a workaround if need be but let's see if it can be fixed first.

I am playing in a tiny d6 zombie game.
I would be interested in any of these. Probably in a medic role

Interested and totally willing to just go with the flow personally.

Well we have four then. I will start putting together the game and hope that by the beginning of next week to have it up to go. Just need to do a little prep and then get the forums I need up. Hopefully the problem I am having in setting them up will be resolved.

Think about what roles you are going to need to be a good team, medic, some sort of rogue, tracker, computer expert plus ship roles like pilot, gunner, engineer are some of the things to consider.

I tend towards medic roles.
Is there a free rule set anywhere?

Pilot for me. Preferably mech pilot. Tell us a little more about what you have planned? I'm cool with anything so long as it has mechs or spaceships.

I can take a hacker/engineer role.

It will have spaceships with the bounty hunter/fixer setting I don't plan on mecha. I can tell you this. One you don't know each other but are going to be put together as a group by someone you all owe. You will have to make a decision as a group on a ship from a few choices all have their pros and cons.

No lasers but good old fashion guns (think firefly/cowboy bebop in that regard) at least on the personal level. You are going to be out on the frontiers of space where things are still a bit untamed.
