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.
