      That or a game focused on a place like Nar Shaddaa where people gotta work through the criminal underworld. Or something.

      I'd probably set it somewhere else just because NS is -the place- on AoA, now. But, something focused in like that would be cool. If I had a working D20 or D6 for Ares, I would probably have tried something like a very focused SW game.

        A spell-punk or dungeon-punk setting either in space (Spell Jammer??) or in a near-future setting, Like an Eberron, meets the 22nd-century advanced with magitek theme.

        Shadowrun?

          Why doesn't someone pick a broad themebase off a cartoon or common line of action figures, then take a private poll of themes they want, recruit one staffer per theme, and implement each staffer's opinion of the theme goal?

          Something Subgenius, use the arbitrary nature of an early system to your advantage.

            Well, Shadowrun Anarchy is on my list of 'would totally do if I had the bandwidth' so... Sure, yeah. Shadowrun might be exactly what I'm saying. 🙂

            No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

                  modern/near-future setting, internet connected devices suddenly start gaining self-awareness in a manner spreading like a computer worm/virus. You wake up one day and your smart fridge starts talking to you, your TV refuses to cooperate and develops a fondness for the Hallmark channel.

                  Not sure if this would work better from an everyman PC perspective, or perhaps an MIB type situation with PCs hunting down awakening devices.

                    Need more deets, but I am almost certainly HERE FOR IT.

                        Twist: You play as the connected devices, struggling for personhood recognition. Do you push for legislation peacefully? Or do you give in to your digital powers and conspire violently against the humans that oppress you?

                        That angle would probably lend itself more towards a game that could last a while (something to get you beyond the initial reaction of 'oh, weird') though the technical knowledge required would either require quite a bit of GM handholding or a fairly limited player base.

                          @sixregrets If mushing these days has taught me anything, it's that more games should be smaller. I'm all for games placing a player cap and locking down

                              @Testament @Carma I don't think a player cap would be necessary on a game of suddenly self aware appliance PCs striving for independence. The playerbase size issue takes care of itself there. 🙂

                                  Hah, self-aware appliances.

                                  I've wished for a ghosts-and-ordinary-folks game without all the underworld complications and cosmology stuff of Wraith, but which would allow one to play a haunted car.

                                    There's a fan-made WoD game sort of like this.

                                            That sounds intriguing.
