I prefer no zombies at all but if we have to have them, then I'll take the slow ones every time.<br/><br/>I need also to drop a note in here to say that one big game isn't my aim here and if a few people particularly like the O/Os or ideas of others then people are free to go for 1-on-1s or small groups. I didn't bring everyone together just to massage my ego and for my own enjoyment. Do take some ideas to PMs if you wish!<br/><br/>It looks like we have a fairly strong leaning towards a non-Earth setting, or at least a fantasized version of Earth/past or future Earth. I could probably handle that even though I get strongly twitchy with magic and in a game where it was present would probably have a character who didn't use it and may even be immune to it.<br/><br/>Games based off games/movies/manga/books/etc are not my thing unless I know the source inspiration. If its a movie and the idea intrigues me I will go watch it first; likewise a manga (ahem, read, not watch) but my comfort zone ends when I'm in a game setting based on X book or game and people around me know it and I'm clueless. That's not enjoyable for me unfortunately.<br/><br/>Having said that, the GTAIV universe is fun and I know it well, as is Fallout 3. Both settings are a good basis for several gangs or factions. A Ghost in the Shell based game would throw up some god opportunities for characters and for the philosophy of cyber bodies over flesh and blood plus would lend itself to a single group of players solving a complex puzzle/mission set by the GMs.<br/><br/>A lot of ideas here seem to be leaning towards action based/plot driven games. I wonder if there is such a thing as that which also can include D/s relationships of the kind usually only found in the character-driven 'smut' oriented games?<br/><br/>I've never done steampunk but would love to try it. H G Wells was a great inspiration to me when I started reading and writing.
