Here, Your Ever-Lovin' GM will place various quotes from some of his source material which will help everyone enjoy the intended setting just a bit more.<br/><br/>Today's entry is about Snarfhockers.  That word is not going to be used in this game, since it's already very much part of a published setting (StarThugs), but the following will give you some idea of the tone of SpaceYiff 5671.<br/><br/>(The following is liberally quoted from StarThugs p13.)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>You Might Be A Snarfhocker If:</strong></span><br/>You ask what a snarfhocker is.<br/>Anything is ever 'off the scale'.<br/>You wonder why people laugh every time you use the word 'tachyon'.<br/>You think Star Trek is a drama and not a comedy.<br/>You think Shields are ephemeral energy shields that can stop anything you want, up to and including bad language.<br/>You think that in space 'no one can hear you scream.'  (Tell that to the telepaths, bub.)<br/>You think that alien crossdressers are a joke.<br/>You think you're clever for saying it's impossible to hack an alien OS with a Macintosh.<br/>The first words out of your mouth when meeting a member of a previously unknown alien race are 'we come in peace' or 'take me to your leader' or,<em>worse</em>, you expect them to say that.<br/>You think that just because laser technology exists, a conventional firearm is no longer capable of putting a hole in someone's brain.<br/>You think that when an energy weapon misses, it puts a cute little scorchmark somewhere like a good boy rather than punch through the wall and fuck up the plumbing.<br/>You think a photon gun is superior to a laser pistol and a phased particle cannon is more powerful than a plasma gun.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Ironically, You're Not A Snarfhocker If:</strong></span><br/>You think that you can hack an alien OS with a Macintosh.<br/>You think all aliens are humans with funny noses.<br/>You use the term Warp Drive for anything that travels faster than light, regardless of whether or not it warps anything.<br/>You make fun of George Lucas.<br/>The first words out of your mouth when meeting a member of a previously unknown alien race are designed to get them into bed with you.<br/>Your space suit has a shotgun holster.<br/>Your laser rifle has a bayonet on it.<br/>You've ever hosed something down with your tachyon gun.<br/>You think people on starships fight with swords (because when you miss with a sword, it DOESN'T punch through the wall and fuck up the plumbing).<br/><br/>(End Quote)
