SAVE THE COSMOS, GET THE GIRL, BE A ROBOT WITH A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX DISCOVER
STRANGE NEW LIFE AND MEET OR EAT IT. WELCOME TO: GALACTIC FLEET! Okay, since the
John is Possessed game didn’t end up gaining traction, let’s do a game of
Laser’s and Feelings. It’s a one-page space rpg by John Harper. We’ll keep it
fast and loose, and base this one the tone of Galaxy Quest/Star Trek/The Orville
etc. - Choose a Style for Your Character: Alien, Android, Dangerous, Heroic, Hot
Shot, Intrepid or Savy. - Choose a Role for Your Character: Doctor, Envoy,
Explorer, Engineer, Pilot, Scientist, or Soldier. - Choose Your Number, from 2
to 5: A high number means you’re better at LASERS (Technology; Science; Cold
rationality; calm, precise action). A low number means you’re better at FEELINGS
(Intuition; Diplomacy; Seduction; wild, passionate action). - Give Your
Character a Cool Space Name Like Dirk Fark-hopper or Something: - In Your
Inventory: You have consortium uniform (with built-in vac-suit for space walks)
a SUPER-SWEET-space-phone-communicator-thing (with built in translator), a
variable-beam phase pistol (set to stun, of course…usually). - Pick a character
Goal: Become Captain, Meet New Aliens, Shoot Bad Guys, Find New Worlds, Solve
Weird Space Mysteries, Prove Yourself, or Keep Being Awesome. - You have a ship:
The Technicolor Nebulae, it’s Well-Armed, with a Cloaking Device, only it has
Horrible Circuit-Breakers. STORY: ALIEN BRAIN WORMS WANT TO EMPOWER THEIR GIANT
DEATH RAY WHICH WILL DESTROY AN ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM!!!
I’m running a Lasers & Feelings game over at Every Post is an RPG. Join up if you want to participate in some quickplay (week or so, maybe two) Galaxy Quest/Star Trek shenanigans! It should be a Phase Blast! (ok ok, I’ll see my way out…)
