So, my current roleplaying campaign's winding up in a few sessions (how few depend on the players, of course), and I'm thinking of setting the next on
in Fenspace - or, more accurately, a close parallel of Fenspace. Assuming this happens (I've only asked one of the players so far), this begs a few
questions...
First, does anybody not want me using their characters as NPCs?
Second, when do I set the game? I'm leaning towards either 2007-2008 (and the PCs would be first-generation Fen), or 2012 (and they're taking part in
Operation GREAT JUSTICE), but would some other time have more roleplaying possibilities?
Third, how much of the background do I share with the players? Do I give them the entire Writers' Guide I'm working on, with everything that's in
all the stickies here, or should I pare that down a bit (or a lot)?
Fourth, which system should I use? I own copies of GURPS Fourth Edition and BESM Third Edition; each has pros and cons for this setting... I think. (Either
way, I'll have to stat up Ramona, Avril, Noah, and at least one of the "angels" as sample characters, so the players have an idea of what sort of
folks are in the setting. Once I've done that, I'll share.)
Thoughts, anyone and everyone?
