Story Hooks

1. One More Job (Near-Future)

Just because they know where to find you doesn't mean they actually can - until now. Perhaps you're looking to get out early on good behavior, or they've finally infiltrated your island retreat. Perhaps you were never on their bad side at all. But your friendly neighborhood government agents need The Article, and fast. If you succeed, they promise you can live your life in private. So is it worth it to take one more job?

2. The Magnificent Flying Contraption (Steampunk)

Doctor Alastair Brown has finally perfected his magnum opus! Are you his loyal lab assistant or his nephew left for the weekend? A government official promising funding, or a coal miner who dreams of touching the sky? No matter the case, liftoff is soon. What could possibly go wrong?

3. Precious Cargo (High Fantasy)

Princess Acadia has been bethrothed to the far-off King Zloto, a union that will have invaluable benefits for both nations. Your job is simply to get there in one piece, whether you're her lady in waiting, hired muscle, or just the best to get horses through difficult terrain. But not all citizens want the wedding to take place. Can you fend them off?

4. Ad Astra (Future, Space)

Several generations into living in space, the humans are in dire need of more resources and allies for trade routes. Whether you're the anthropologist excited to meet new civilization, or the merchant hoping to save their family from the brink of bankrupcy, a lot rides on this mission going well. You simply need to travel to the convention of Grel'lix and their allies, avoiding enemy fire, maintaining an older ship (that won't flag as an enemy on Grel'lix scanners), dealing with small-cabin cultural differences, and safely passing through The Eye. But you're ready, right?

I'd be up for either 3 or 4. Potentially 1 as well but preference on those two.

1 and 3 seem really cool.

I love 2. That haven't been said yet, haha. I'd vote for 4 as well.

I'm up for anything, but super interested in #2.

Nice. Well, and remember. There's 10 of y'all. I fully intend to run each game folks are interested in.

1 & 4 just because I have a lot of fantasy going one :D

I'm most interested in 3 and 4.

I'm for 2 & 3 mostly. But 1 & 4 have appeal as well. So I'd play in any of them.

Lol

I think this is the right place to ask this...

In the (future/space) setting, and I suppose the (Steampunk) setting, what does the Supernatural trait do? Obviously, you can always include some kind of magic, like The Force or spell books or whatever. But in a "hard" sci-fi setting what do you see that as?

Steampunk can lean into religion. Faith healings and whatnot, or even just "divine guidance". In a Sci Fi setting, I think the Supernatural side would lean towards like, telekinetic races, psions, etc.

I'm particular to number 1, but all of them seem neat.

Okay, based on preferred games, so far we have:

1. One More Job
Aegis
CESN
Saevikas

2. The Magnificent Flying Contraption
Paviinka
Qralloq
Maskcot

3. Precious Cargo
bowlofspinach
Aegis

4. Ad Astra

CESN

And we have yet to hear from Remnant and ImYeoDaddy

If anyone who expressed interest in more than one game wants to narrow down to just one, please do so. You can do both if you prefer.

If there's space I would like to join one of the other games as well. I feel like I would be better able to give feedback on the system if I had multiple experiences.

OK! That works for me.

Go for it, saevikas. I figure I can handle up to 5 in a game, 4 preferred.
