Damn it, Jim!
So I'm thinking ahead to next year at GEAS, and I had a nice straightforward idea - Deleted, a Bourne-style espionage game of agents and civilians, betrayals and shifting loyalties, isolation and madness, on the run across Europe. Sounds cool.
But now thanks to JJ Abrams I keep having Star Trek ideas.
(Or, more accurately, mad sandbox SF ideas that wouldn't fit into the deliberately constrained setting of The Stars On Fire where there's one alien race and no time travel or speech-making villains or any of that. I set it up that way after The Watch House, which was the biggest mad modern-fantasy-supers-horror-comedy-action sandbox ever. None of them require Vulcans or the Prime Directive or anything, it's just that the Star Trek sandbox has been rebuilt to be less "serious business" and more punching and arguing and running gunfights while flying around in your spaceship.)
Hrm. See what people want to play, I suppose...
