Hi, I'm a 39 year old GM who's run quite a few games over the years. However, I've only recently come across Stars Without Number. I have a friend in Japan and we've decided to get a game going and try it out. We're planning on playing Saturday nights from 9:30 PM EST (when I get home from work) for sessions lasting 2-4 hours, once or twice a month. We have time yet as I'll not likely start it until the 13th of June to give everyone, myself included, time to get familiar with the rules and get character creation done. We play using Skype for audio, but video is not needed. The basic premise of the game is this: the PCs start as inmates on a penal world. Maybe they were innocent, maybe they weren't. They navigate the deadly environment of the prison world until they find a way off world. The game then proceeds with the PCs on the run, taking whatever jobs they can to survive and keep ahead of bounty hunters and the law. Note that while the characters may be criminals and can certainly be ruthless, I'm not interested in sociopath characters in the game. The PCs will be expected to have some sort of code. My games tend to be fairly Humanocentric, so characters will be Human, though cybernetics and psionics are certainly part of the setting. I'm looking to run a game with 3-4 players, meaning I have two or three slots open. I'm happy to have other players that have never played Stars Without Number in the group. I figure we can learn the game together. Obviously, if you have experience with SWN and would like to join, you are welcome, and your help will be appreciated. Thanks for your consideration.
