• • General: Could the Firefly MMO make it Into Black

  • In SciFi its possible to go from ahigh tech environment to a low tech or even a low tech availibility environment.  While it may seem funny to you, its not that uncommon.

    In my own role playing days that was actually a great way of coning the locals out of precious items or to coerce cooporation from locals.  funny or not I think it enevitable that cross tech encounters would occur.  The challenge will be in developing the context of that encounter.

• • What are you hoping for?

  • Wish I had a lot of time playing online games to know better.

    So, I would like to see some on world action and multiplayers on a ship.  Where you have the chance to develope your charachter and hire onto or purchase ship and NPC's.  Build businesses and ship fleets, mining operations on auto and building bases or stations.

    In other words, all the things one can do in dice and paper RPG's.

    Is that too much to ask?  Huh?

  • I had a simualar reaction.

    I knew it was being advertised but thought it as some whimpy social  space program.  It wasn't until I saw the TV ads for Serenity that I got hooked.

    I'm a dice throwing Traveller player and was immediately drawn to Serenity because of the many adventures  I had been on in the RPG Traveller.  Much of the las 64 posts address issues that the game designers could draw upon from Traveller.  Not that I'm a programmer, but a late freind of mine and I would spend hours thinking through how he would program that game.  It has much the same feel as Firefly just in a much larger and well organized universe.

    Myself, I would play even if it were crap.  For that matter, if I had the cash I would fund it at a loss because all games live on with each new player and returning player.  While it may not be successful right from the start it may be in time.
