The Shared Starship Superdraft

Set your Fanfiction to Stun, it's the Shared Starship Superdraft!

 

the-scifi-art-of-jeff-bartzis-03.jpg!

 

In this draft, we will collectively draft a crew and ship for them to fly. A big ship. This draft was inspired by Star Trek, so think a deep space capital ship, rather than a little smuggling vessel.

Individually, we will draft episodes, the encounters our shared ship will come across.

 

The Roster:

ONE (1) Crewmember. Includes the position and the individual. Both are exclusive. If someone drafts Pilot - Kara "Starbuck" Thrace , then the ship has one main pilot, and Starbuck is it. Characters must be drafted from something professionally published.

ONE (1) "Our ship has …" Declare something about our shared ship. Examples:

"...an X-Wing fighter bay"

"...the name 'Pillar of Autumn' "

"...a letter of marque from the Shi'Ar Empire"

"...a saboteur aboard"

You may draft this or make it up.

EIGHT (8) Episode elements. This can include characters who only appear in that episode, such as a redshirt that dies or an enemy. ANY CHARACTERS MUST BE DRAFTED. Otherwise, this section is very flexible. Strange new worlds, McGuffins, Space Time Anomalies, on and on.

 

The two shared elements must come first. That could be Crewmember on Day 1 and "Our ship has …" on day two, or the other way around. This is to make it easier for players to get ideas for their episodes.

 

We begin Thursday, June 4th, Noon Eastern Daylight time. We skip weekends.
