In all seriousness now, whatever you will pick will be fine by me, though the only tabletop RPG I've ever played is Lord of the Rings MERP. I didn't think anyone had ever played that, or would admit to it if they had... Somehow my Dúnadan Animist won our party a battle single-handedly. He gouged some opponent's eye out with an axe, and the rest of them surrendered..

Y'know, I had an idea brewing for "later" if RPing was going to be a thing, but since I detect a sci fi vs fantasy RPG I'd be perfectly willing to put myself out there and start up a Battletech RPG. I have a good starter and general plot, just need to get base permission from the original author and put my own twists on it... The question is does anybody else like giant robotic tanks stomping around barely survivable worlds blowing things up with lasers and missiles and lightning guns and... I am so in I cannot even put this into words. I've never done a Battletech RPG, but I do play CBT and my knowledge of the universe is extensive.

You know, given this poll, it seems like it might be entirely possible for us to have a fantasy RPG group on Wednesday nights and a sci-fi RPG group on Sunday afternoons, with overlapping membership.

I can only think of one thing that stands for, and it doesn't seem applicable...

Awesome, that's one then... maybe two if Dya can get involved, and I'm sure giant walking tanks going pew pew and dakka and 'sploding things interposed with exposition would go over well for people less acquainted with Battletech/Mechwarrior (the latter is where most of my experience comes from along with MechCommander). For those who are unfamilliar with the franchise, essentially this is what it looks like more or less in video game form: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqP9Xmc2TAU

OK guys, here it is. Anyone who is available Wednesday evenings EST, tell me here if you're willing to give it a go, I'm willing to set up a game to be played through IRC. It'll be dnd 4th ed (unless strenuous objections) with some restrictions and modifications based on the background of the setting.
If I can get 5 people (I'll even settle for 4) it'll be a go. So lemme know.
eta: anyone who doesn't have source books and is not objecting to more...nefarrrrrrrious means of acquiring them, I can supply....

Alright, so I'm inching closer to being able to actually launch a Battletech RPG, would there be any objections to starting a new separate thread as a "brainstorming/introduction" to build to the actual launch?
