I'm interested in hearing the reaction to Usurper from people here. The design would make a damn fun game IMO.

In my experiance most of the people who actually want to Storytell will do so anyway. Atleast for me.

This is a really good point. The trick is to find the good players who want to ST, but don't for whatever reason (lack of time, lack of prestige on the mu*, lack of skill) and both put structures into place to allow them to ST with less work and train them up so they become better STers.

If you're looking for space mu*'s have you seen this?

Has anyone tried this (http://mountandblade.wikia.com/wiki/CRPG)? There's been some talk about a Birthright (http://www.birthright.net/forums/showwiki.php?title=BIRTHRIGHT_Campaign_Setting&redirect=no) style mu* before and it seems like this gets part of the way there.

The time traveller's cheat sheet.

Not a bad idea for a smallish limited-run mu* right there.

I don't think bolting consent onto any fundamentally non-consensual RPG mechanics is ever going to work very well. A better idea IMO is to use mechanics that rely on structured consent, i.e. hippy RPGs. If you can do that then all the bother about ICA/ICC goes away.

The setting sounds fun, but the system sounds like you need a troupe working closely to make it click. Don't know if that suits mush-style with many small groups and not enough storytellers.

Awesome that it blew the doors off its KS goal though..

All that said, I have wanted to make a similar Thieves World style game....is there any interest in this?

Not sure how well that would go, RP-wise, do you? It seems like you would have 4-5 players active in this 'version', a few more liking this 'version' a bit better, etc.

It's not different from the original idea, just that setting-wise all the planes/shards are a somewhat recognizable version of Chicago. Hell Chicago, Fairy Chicago, etc.

I like the idea a lot more if the realms are all sort of versions of Chicago, but that might not scratch everyone's SG itch.

Don't Rest Your Head has a cool take on this as well.
