Get Stranded

[Jorus Merrill]

I had an idea that I think would be a blast. I grew up on Star Trek: Voyager, and for all its many flaws, I've always loved the premise: a lone ship with an unsuitable, unprepared crew, stranded in the middle of nowhere, trying to voyage home. I'm also a huge fan of the game FTL, which has some similarities. I've done some stories kind of like that over the years, and I think I've hit on a fun way to do it.

Basically, I'm looking for a ship or two, some people to be crew or passengers, to get stuck in the middle of nowhere - maybe a companion galaxy like the Rishi Maze or something. I'd be the DM (kind of) - it'd be a Campaign thread. I'd throw challenges at you (alien attack! running out of fuel! need fresh food or you'll get scurvy!) and you'd figure out solutions together and keep trying to get home. Your ship(s) and characters and decisions and gambles would be the focus of the thread. Maybe you bring a personal transport, maybe you're a passenger on a starliner, maybe you've got a Star Destroyer or a bulk freighter - I can roll with whatever.

Would anyone be interested in something like that? I know it's the kind of thread I'd love to join if there was a dedicated campaign runner on the other side of things.

Depending on when this starts, I'd be down for this.

Got some work for college to finish and round off, so I will be pretty busy for the next week or two. But after that I'd be very interested in this.

It's the kind of thing that could easily stretch on for a while, no worries.

This is a pretty sweet idea, color me interested

 

[Bryce Bantam]

[member="Jorus Merrill"], sounds like fun, could be a chance to develop some more tech also, nessessity is the mother of invention after all. I'll throw Bryce in, dev some firgate line a bit more.

Oooh color me interested!

Between this thread and Discord, we've got a bunch of folks down for this. I think I'll start with the 'you're all passengers on a stranded starliner' approach so everyone's got a level and kind of bizarre playing field. Thread inbound.

[Iron Giant]

Ugh, I would love to join this but I really shouldn't

Guess I'll have to settle for reading it once in a while and imagine what this ol' girl would do!

I always loved these. Why haven't you done them sooner? Been ages.

 

[Mallith Renyl]

On second thought, all but one of my characters would not actually have a reason to be on that ship and the one that does would not actually fit into the plot.
