conversations.value: This is a concept game, in which the players are actually in charge of vessels in the refugee fleet of the last of humankind.  Fleeing their robot oppressors they venture across the galaxy in search of a place to call home.
  
    This is intended to be "hard" sci-fi with tech roughly equivalent to Battlestar Galactica.
  
    Each player plays one ship in the fleet, represented by nature.  The "Character Name" is the ship name (preceded by the letters RTF ie 'RTF Galactica').   The "Character Description" is to provide some words about the ship.
  
  You have three important characters on board (to start) - one Strong character, one Weak character, and the Captain (represented by a subplot).   Please edit the name of the cards to "XO Bradley Cooper" or whatever the character's name is. 
  
    So instead of your character being 1 person, it's more like the entire crew is your character.  You just have select crew playing a scene.  I can even create assets to represent other characters on board or "cameo" characters.  Also this allows for any of these characters to meet foul ends or "die" as you wish any time you play out your stack and refresh, yet the saga of your vessel lives on.
  
    You can make your own Persons of Interest, just use the cards I have created as a template.   You can also create your own ship types if I haven't covered what you want. 
  
  Inspiration: Battlestar Galactica, Star Blazers, Macross
