Sociotard Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Set your Fanfiction to Stun, it's the Shared Starship Superdraft! ! 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. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 If your episode has "guest stars", you can't just make them up. They need to come from somewhere Honestly, I'd rather all picks came from somewhere, but I was having a hard time figuring out how to make clear clean rules to that effect.

Bazza Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 so any co-star characters for an episode must be included in the 8 Episode Elements draft picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Correct. If you want Captain Jellico to take over the ship while the captain is Court Marshalled, you need to draft captain Jellico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 With so many silly characters, we need someone who takes things way too seriously. Character: Helmsman: Asuka Langley Soryu (Neon Genesis Evangelion) http://fav.me/d93ufkp It looks like flying this ship takes a plugsuit.

Cancer Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 ... and the way things are going, Ivanova could end up having a sexual relationship with her commanding officer, too (and, of course, it ends tragically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
