Xenobiology is my speciality. ^_^

So is that a volunteer to run this or dibs on being the head of the xenolab?

People come up with a definate answer on what you want and I could perhaps run it.

Zulo-kitty, I want to see an RP with human interaction that is framed and defined by the alien invasion. I think the XCOM idea can be the basis, but an original alien race and a near-future Earth that is perhaps fairly hard science in comparison with the high sci-fi tech of the aliens (but not too advanced so that human weapons can destroy alien vessels and kill aliens!)

I'm thinking Space: Above and Beyond more than Independence Day, if sci-fi movie / show references help at all.

Mmm, the general idea and comprimise of X-Com type game can take base where no one really needs to learn the canon just the concept. I could make it a system lite game. In other words, freeform with a bit more direction. So, no one really has to learn a dice system, just the history and such.

Mmm, near future will go. But like the X-Com series, people will be in the near future, their technology only slightly advanced then what we have now...and well, people will have to go on recon, recover and of course to Xenoengineering (Reverse Alien Engineering).

I could asign specific types of aliens along the way and add other sorts nice twists.

Of course the people would play as an actual agent instead of the NPC roles (like scientist) and such I'd have to fill.

If this appeals to anyone, please send feedback. ^_^

I'll likely give it a go...

i'm interested in playing and posibly being co-dm for the game. i've played all the XCOM games with the exception of Alliance (never released) and XCOM enforcer

ZK · « **Reply #34 on:** December 05, 2005, 05:52:01 PM »

The game isn't going to be X-Com and will not have any canon material. The concept of X-Com is what is being used.

Me is still interested.....

And hello sweetness how is my Rogue? They're not still being mean to you are they? *gives her a huge hug and a kiss*

RogueJedi · « **Reply #38 on:** December 05, 2005, 07:40:37 PM »

Hello Elvi... i'm ok.

Yes, but i will deal with it for now......

Elvi · « **Reply #39 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:13:20 PM »

*sighs and gives Rogue a back rub, flips her over and gives her a front rub, then wraps her in cling film to keep her fresh*

RogueJedi · « **Reply #40 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:36:27 PM »

*smiles and licks Elvi lovingly*

shadowheart · « **Reply #41 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:44:49 PM »

Fresh Rogue. Yumm. *gryn*

Good idea, Elvi .. *smiles* Keep her preserved ..

Welcome RogueJedi .. Looks like we're getting a good cast set up here.

Elvi · « **Reply #42 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:50:24 PM »

Yeah you have to keep the little ones fresh.....

RogueJedi · « **Reply #43 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:53:48 PM »

Hey! I resemble that remark Elvi....

Elvi · « **Reply #44 on:** December 05, 2005, 08:57:49 PM »

*Smiles*
Of course you do cuteness

Amberghylles · « **Reply #45 on:** December 05, 2005, 09:21:28 PM »

I'm definately interested.

Faolan · « **Reply #46 on:** December 06, 2005, 04:32:14 PM »

I love X-COM. I would be interested in playing in that one absolutely.

Vandren · « **Reply #47 on:** December 11, 2005, 10:28:29 AM »

Is this still a possibility or has the idea died out?

ZK · « **Reply #48 on:** December 11, 2005, 10:44:25 AM »

It's still a possibility. As for area. I'd suggest Exotic Freeform. Or Exotic System. The system although would be rather light. More of a type of guideline instead of a dice system like d20 and such.

shadowheart · « **Reply #49 on:** December 11, 2005, 10:46:27 AM »

I'm still interested, Vandren. And DZK .. I think Exotic system with a light system is probably best .. Freeform's good, but for a game like this, where conflict is inevitable, I think some kind of system would be best ....
