Folks, I'm sorry, but I just can't get the juices flowing in myself to get the Akus game going again. It's been a good long run, but I think it is done. Maybe at a later date I'll feel like revisiting the Mae Lee and her crew, but not now. I'm not saying I'm not going to be running a game here, it just won't be the current Mae Lee game. First, I thought about resetting the Mae Lee game to a future date and summarizing what happens between you leaving Serbia and the game restarted, but that didn't turn me on. Next, I thought about running a new group of PC's in the same basic setting. This interested me more, but my brain hasn't gotten any traction on that idea...IOW, the idea sounds good to me, but I can't stir up *enough* interest to make it happen right now. This is a maybe later idea. Finally, I thought...why not run something unrelated to the Akus universe that I *am* interested in running and see if that gets my creative juices flowing again. The scenario would be bog standard CT Traveller, with a clearly defined beginning, middle and end. Knowing how PBEM's go it might take years to play out, but it would have a set path...no, not a railroad plot, your PC's will have plenty of opportunities to do what you will, but you would also have a mission with a starting point, and ending point, and a time table to get from the start to the end. Specifically, you would be people who have just been demobbed from the Imperial Navy at the end of the 5th Frontier War and have been hired to crew a merchant ship from Glisten to Wonstar down a branch of the Spinward Main. Once there they are to turn it over to the Wonstar Trading Company where they will be paid off. Along for the ride will be the eldest son of the Baron of Wonstar, principal stockholder in the Wonstar Trading Company, and getting him safely from Glisten to Wonstar is, a not insignificant, part of the job. You would be playing former Scout, Merchant, Navy, Army or Marine PC's. *Standard* CT basic characters, pretty much standard CT rules, pretty much standard OTU setting. Post here if interested and those of us who *are* interested can discuss it. If you aren't interested, that's okay, too. Eris
