I think it's time for another Bastard game, this one based on the old Eon Games/ Fantasy Flight classic Cosmic Encounter. In the game, players are given a choice of two alien races to play as, randomly selected from 51 possible choices (more with expansions.) So, true to that spirit, once I know how many folks are playing, I will physically shuffle my deck of Cosmic Encounter race cards, deal out two to each of you, and PM you information about your choices. Then, once everyone has selected a race, I will randomly determine player alignments and try to make a reasonably balanced role madness game using the flavor of the chosen aliens, trying to reflect how they function in Cosmic Encounter where possible. The reason its a bastard game is that in order to do this I might need to include some roles and powers which are considered bastard. But the goal will be something balanced and fun, rather than something like joth's "no town, only four scum teams" bastard game.
(Just to clarify, that game was fun. It was not balanced.)
The beauty of this is I can run it with however many people want to play, but I know there's a lot going on so we'll at least wait until Memento finishes up to start. I also don't want to start it until I get back from my trip to Minnesota, so even if it fills it won't start until July.
So, who's interested?

This should definitely be an /in. Not sure why I tagged instead. CE remains one of my favorite beer and peanuts games.
Would this be full expansions of powers? Moons? Lucre?
