I'd like to mod a game soon. Haven't quite figured out flavor, etc, but I thought I'd get into the queue.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

Cool I'll open up shop in a few hours

[shraeye]

Yay joth!

[WalrusMcFishSr]

Star Wars is now open! 6 slots left, get 'em while they're hot

[yuma]

I'll sign up for a regular-standard game as well.

My invented-closed game is ready and can be opened whenever an invented game is needed... although I probably want a break from modding for at least a little while...

Standard or Invented?

My invented/closedish game is now also fully ready now, PMs written and all.  Soon it'll just be you and me going back and forth while everyone waits for RMMs to fill and start.

Oh I probably want to run an invented game.

[XerxesPraelor]

What's the difference between invented and RMM?

[XerxesPraelor]

Oops, just looked a few pages back and saw it was answered. Sorry!

Have we done Buffy flavor already?

what about Firefly?

[ashersky]

what about Firefly?

Not yet.  I believe that's because it is horrendously overrated.  (And yes, I've seen every episode and the movie.)

I've talked about Buffy II, or maybe Angel.  Those are the best Whedons.

You did the awesome DS9 game.  Can you stick with great space shows, a la DS9?  Farscape would be awesome.

I'm also thinking Helix would make a great mafia game setting.

I would love to see, or maybe even run in the future a Dr. Horrible game... especially as part 2 is supposed to come out at some point soonish

[jotheonah]

I was actually just thinking about Dr. Horrible. It's a little hard to figure out who's scum and who's town. It might be fun to try to make the flavor fit with that, like have town be scum and vice versa somehow.

Space! My familiarity with Farscape is a little lax. Babylon 5, Andromeda? Maybe. Other Star Treks? Definitely. I'd even be happy to run the DS9 setting again with a little tweaking. There were a lot of ways that could have rolled that would have played out very differently then the way it actually played, but there was a general sense scum was overpowered that I would want to address.

Unacceptable. I love Buffy (what I've seen of it so far at least), but Firefly is great, and the only reason one might argue that Buffy is better is that it lasted a lot longer and thus had time to do a lot more interesting stuff.

[jotheonah]

would people be down for DS9 redux? The original won an award even though it was unbalanced, so that's got to count for something.

Absolutely.  I would suggest a re-balance to weaken scum slightly.

Look, it wasn't that Firefly wasn't a good show, because it was.  But where the cheesiness works well in Buffy, Firefly was trying to be a serious show with ridiculous cheese (cursing in Mandarin, silly engineer, Jane).  I think a Firefly that took itself seriously (think Stargate: Universe or Pitch Black) would have been incredible.

The cast was good, but not great, as I think his reliance on using the same 4 people caught up with him there.  Baccarin was great, of course, but I feel like Fillion and crew just mailed it in.  The stories were okay, and maybe future seasons that never happened would have been stronger, but Serenity stunk it up, so who knows.

[Teproc]

That's funny because I always thought Baccarin was the weakest part of that cast, and Fillion the best. I don't think it took itself more seriously than Buffy, just take a look at the Angel/Buffy romance. Granted, that gives us the genius scene of them in The Zeppo where they completely avert (or is it invert ?) it. Also I think the serious stuff in Firefly (Reavers, all of Objects in Space) worked really well, so agree to disagree I guess.

I can see why you disliked Serenity though, it's fine but mostly relies on the audience loving these characters from the show, and is definitely not on par with the quality of the show (well I guess it's on par with Heart of Gold or something).

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority in not being completely head-over-heels obsessed with Firefly.  That's fine.  I also prefer Angel to Buffy as a series, which is another minority view.

[Voltaire]

Yeah, ash thinking Baccarin was the best actor on the show is...as different as one can get.

[yuma]

Yes. I really liked the idea of having 3 different scum teams, but only 2 of them showing up.

Keep in mind, however, that at this point where we have landed with our current mafia design state, DS9 would be considered RMM at this point as everyone in that game had a role of some sort or another.
