This is also why Geneforge would have to be my favorite series: I think the world it is set in has the most potential for interesting stories and situations. I don't know how many tabletop roleplayers subscribe to these boards, but I'm hoping there are a few. Does anyone out there know of anyone who's tried to run an RPG set in the world of Geneforge? Personally, I plan on creating a Geneforge setting for the GURPS system to run with a few friends. To keep the computer game exciting, it has to be set in the backwaters of Shaper civilisation, a place where rampant violations of the harsh Shaper laws are possible for anything more than a short period of time (though I suppose we have to see what #3 brings). But with a table top RPG, the game could be set easily in a large shaper city, and get into intrigue and really flesh out the story in a way that can't happen in a computer game. So in case you hadn't guessed, I think an pen and paper RPG version of Geneforge would be a great idea. They did it for Myth: The Fallen Lords, which also had a pretty cool storyline, but Geneforge's is better. Obviously I'm not gonna try to give Jeff business advice, but an official GURPS: Geneforge would be pretty neat... In short: If you have any ideas for the wider world of Geneforge feel free to post them here so I can use them in my game, or just so we can discuss what we think the wider world would be like.

Now, just wait until Blades 0f Geneforge. :P -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
