So...after much deliberation...between college chaos, timekilling projects, and a post hike on the boards here...I decided...that I would revive my old sci-fi rpg project...Children of the Void
for anyone who remembered what it was- it started out of a joke when a thread was put out of comission...of course, being the over-extensive planner that I was...I took so seriously, my mind overloaded on it...and once the thread suffered some problems- I just let it die
But that was then...and this is now...I thought, since it was born of a joke- why not make it a joke- a mockery of all sci-fi cliches RPG...including- Capt. Kirk speaking leaders, towels in the emergency only case, and the ever important "Hyper Oversized Laser Beam Cannon Thingy" that comes standard with every ship out there...
so...anyone game? know that with this incarnation of CoTV- characters should fill cliche roles! and be creative and humorous (of course, there has to be the mysterious scientist who always stays aloof and is pale skinned and pointy eared- but that's beside the point)

whoopsie, sorry about the disappearance- received an unexpected phone call *looks to Bughunter- nah, jokin' pal- thanks again for callin'* but to Katt- I'd say pick whatever cliche you so desire, and if not, i'll compile a list of the cliches that should be filled... to Cobra- sure, the chef that may save the world is great for you  and Saknicep- don't worry too much about it- as long as you have fun in the effort, that's all I want to see in this ;D |

We'll need a Vulcan-like person. Or a klingon.

did that call really clock at that long, whoa   heh- well, here's a few more things to consider- standard equipment will include: -lightsabers that technically shouldn't exist since the beam would go on forever...(this version of Sho will have one...and one of his arms will be a prosthetic due to the light blade ;D ) -laser guns that come on three color varieties and somehow shoot in pulses: red, blue, green- and even a yellow variant if you pay well enough other cliche characters: -the lone wannabe trying to prove himself -the know it all android...or in this case...the android who THINKS he knows it all...and is feared due to a certain "Ripley Incident" that will be occasionally mentioned to him (yes, you can play off of games and movies for this) -the prerequisite babe who actually has a heart of gold...or so her think...hmmm |
