Out-of-Character Thread

Do it here . . . .

Since we didn't really have this discussion on the intro thread, howabout we have it here?
Kaneda, you wrote back in the interest-check thread:
What do you think about this, Furmyr?
Personally, I don't want to get too far away from Current Time; if we do decide on a futuristic setting, I don't want it to be too advanced. In terms of Alternity (the game system we're using), we're currently Progress Level 5 (The Information Age); I don't want us to be much beyond early Progress Level 6 (The Fusion Age) because I don't want the game to be about gadgets.
Same goes for fantasy: any elements like this I prefer to structure like a "Hidden History" campaign, one where relatively only a few people are aware of how real magic is and how to use it.

All good with Progress Level 5 and no problem with magic being really rare.

No problem. Have it be a few years in the future so you can have some early future tech, though likely out of our hands. I hadn't expected magic at all with the pitch, but having some eldritch elements that could be revealed to the characters could be fun.

OK, so we'll keep it at Progress Level 5, and we'll see what happens wrt magic . . . .

All good, to be honest, if we end up not using any magic, it should still be good!
