Okay, I'll throw my 2 bits into the pot now. I have to say that while I am a fan of the post-apocalyptic setting, I don' like the Mad-Maxisms that so often accompany them such as the notion that off-road tires, spiked shoulder pads, crazy facial tattoos, and chains become the new fashion trend. Fallout 3 got it right I think.<br/><br/>While I love a GOOD zombie movie, in regards to a RP game involving zombies, I'm decidedly undecided. As to the type of zombies? Well, that depends on the story surrounding their cause. I think that fast ones are scarier and better suited for sudden onset zombification, such as an entire city being zombified due to some militarized pathogen which was erroneously administered or escaped due to the negligence of some less-than-thorough researcher<br/><br/>I've never played steam punk, and the only thing I can think of as an example of it is the movie Wild West featuring Will Smith and Kevin Kline. I'm open to the idea, given a good background and plot, but I'm unsure if I'd be an asset or detriment to the game.<br/><br/>I enjoy games involving the military, be it large scale, outright war btween two or more armies, a special forces unit infiltrating a stronger enemy or taking on some other seemingly suicidal task requiring them to make some very tough decisions to complete their mission for the greater good, or just some regular ground-pounders or civilian paramilitary unit thrust into a life-or-death situation whereupon they may or may not make it and they may or may not become heroes, saviors to many.<br/><br/>For a long while now I've been wanting to get involved in a good Firefly Universe game. I LOVED the show and the movie, Serenity, and think it would be fun to play as a crew member of another ship who perhaps knew the crew of Serenity either as friendly business associates or fierce competitors. They would also know many of the minor characters in the show and interact with them regularly in the same manor the Serenity's crew did.<br/><br/>I'm not too crazy about magic being used, though if it's just a little bit of minor magic and nothing to *ALL POWERFUL*, I could bend to that. That being said, I LOVE The Shadowrun Universe and think it would be great fun to play a part in a badass crew of misfit runners all from different backgrounds. Lots of potential for conflict, be it physical, social, political... whatever. I'm not a fan of system games unless I'm sitting at the table with all players involved, I'm currently involved in a system/free-form hybrid and so far, I really like, though we are just now starting to get to the meat of the matter involving t he system part of the game.<br/><br/>I'm not crazy about the idea of mixing different genres, such as The Crossroads Inn idea mentioned earlier. No offense intended, it just makes me cringe.  :P<br/><br/>I'm not very familiar with other nationality's cultures so, that makes it awkward for me to play anything other than what I know, a westerner... American, to be precise. Though I'm not closed off to the idea. If I find a game to sound interesting and fun, I will make an attempt to research the relevant culture enough to feel comfortable enough to make it convincing.<br/><br/>That's all I've got for now. I'll post more later. My sprained wrist is hurting from all this typing  :'(<br/><br/>Discuss! ;D
