Space 1889


Greetings,

 I always liked this game, but I never got to rp the system or the excellent Mars setting they made for the game. I used to own the players book, back in the day, but since misplaced it.

 I was wondering if there was a GM out there willing to take on a Space 1889 game, either solo or a small group. I look forward to hearing from you.

 Good gaming,

 Cheers!

Space 1889

I'm currently running a freeform game based on the setting of Space: 1889.

Also, about a year ago, a friend and I attempted to retool the game so it made more sense (to us) and was more self-consistent.

Are either of those something that might interest you?

Space 1889


 Free Form is ok,but it does make conflict resolution difficult. The other option  seems more to my taste.

My thumb nail character concept, is a disgraced British army officer that was caught taking funds from the officers mess, to pay his gambling debts. It was a kiss of death in Victorian society, to dishonor the regiment,himself, and worse of all, his family.  His father is the Earl of something or other,and disowned his son.

 Now the character has come to Mars, in an attempt to reclaim his honor,and make a new life for himself.

 This remains one of my very favourite settings. I'm interested.

Fate can be an excellent rule system for Space 1889.

 I hope we get a GM for this. Player wise, we are set by the level of response.

Space 1889

Two questions....

1. How close to the canon do you want the game?

I am sure it comes as no surprise it takes a lot of preparation to run a game... and while I am interested in GMing S1889... well the only thing I have prepared (sorta) is extended universe campaign.  That is - characters and the world are S1889, but due to unexplained phenomena characters end up on a brave new world, apparently outside of the solar system and have to survive and possibly find a way home.

If that's ok, I'll consider GMing... if you want something in more familiar settings like Mars - sorry it'll take too long for me to put something together.

2. What pace are you looking for?  I generally go for one round of posts a day, which many find waaayyyy too slow.  Unfortunately that's the best I can offer and sometimes not even that - you know how RL can be.

Space 1889

This game will probably have a co-GM.

At the moment, it is still a work-in-progress, but there's an open OOC thread for discussing the game.

Here's the link: link to another game


Posting rate should be one post every other day. It's been my experience that most players can't handle anything more frequently than that.

 Hey folks, I am the one that started this thread. You really should stop by,and take a look at the GM's system. It's clean and stream lined, and not difficult at all.
