A waiting list could be a good thing. I was considering running shorter module games rather than arbitrarily long campaigns; this would allow the player group to switch up regularly. I intend to have a metaplot, but this way I won't be hogging all the players if another GM wants to have a crack at it, and we won't have a waiting list full of players who never get to actually play. I'm also going to cap the play group to five players at a time (I've tried running games with more, and they tend to splinter into smaller conversation groups and no one knows whats going on), which currently looks like scummer, sinhound, Extropian_Knight, Azlinea, and either sinhound's as-yet unnamed friend or dcgreenwood. All of the character concepts mentioned so far are fine. PM me a background before you work on the numbers crunch, and I'll come up with a way to get you all grouped together for some crazy adventure. I'm not thinking that this will be a Firewall team per se, but Firewall characters are perfectly acceptable. Re-Laborat, I take it that Avatar didn't really do it for you?

No specific length requirement, although I would prefer it weren't a novella. Finding a picture or three that give the feel of the character always helps.

I hated it. It was a wretched trope abuse, and hurt my sensibilities. The only way I could stand it was to imagine it as a crafted biosphere in Eclipse Phase. +Ecology people building an environment where they can plug directly into the "animals" that are in fact the main protectors of the biosphere. The big ass tree would be the computer running the whole thing, and the images of what looked quite a bit like a crashed spaceship around the tree would, in fact, be a crashed spaceship around the tree. But that's because I don't like space magic very much.

Munchkin away. Here is a discussion on the Carnival of the Goat if you need some idea as to what this place is like.

Oh good god, we're doomed. If I've learned anything in all my years of RP'ing, it's that GM's are, by definition, evil. Don't look at me like that - I've GM'ed as well. Horrible things are going to happen to us on the Goat...

I'm going to go through the thread on the Carnival of the Goat and come up with a summary for us to use. It's a bit scattered and frenetic at the moment.

The character writeups will work wonderfully for what I have in mind. I hope to have the working summary of the CotG done tonight or at the latest tomorrow.

So... what's everyone up to?

Sweeeeeeet! Really can't wait to play - it's gonna be JAWSOME!

Would I be totally out of line suggesting turtle morphs? They, of course, would have to be trained in stealth and fighting, with a form focusing on immaturity and being less than normal? And toads? War-loving toads? And... maybe, just maybe... Cat morphs of the honorable oriental round-ish cheesy pie loving variety? Oh, yeah, I went there.

Is it too late me to join in?

That will depend on who is around when I finally get the module written up. Also, if you don't get in on this first one, I've got another story brewing in my head set on Venus with a noir feel to it. Airships and lasers ftw.

Hey there scummer, everything's good on my end. We're still up for it if the chance arises and all that. Hope everyone is well and such.

Did this fall over and die?
