I've been adapting WEG's d6 Far Orbit Project to AoR. The PbP-based game is hosted here. Story background is readable in the IC topic and in the first post of the OOC topic. Interested players should review the available positions in the Crew Roster and read through the OOC topic (see earlier link) for character building instructions and Q&A. Requests to join the game, along with what slot(s) a player would like to reserve, can be made by posting in the game's OOC topic. Please don't ask here, or send me PMs; read the entire OOC topic first to see if your question has already been addressed, then feel free to ask questions in the OOC topic.

The game is now live. Recruiting remains open, though. Plenty of positions are still available to choose from.

Topic necromancy...

This game is still alive, and still has openings. The game's IC topic has 27+ pages and the OOC has 79+, so disregard what I wrote back on April 12, 2015 about reading the entire OOC before asking questions.

So.... This site's setup reminds me alot of the rp pbe of the early internet, where much of the rp was not so much a game, as a simulator, where the rp was often comprised of maintaining logs, and rosters and making reports etc.

Tell me, what role in the story does a Pc whose a Chief of Quarters play?

Chief of Quarters is not a position that is recommended for a PC. And the posted crew roster no longer accurately shows which slots are open. There are a lot of characters that were created by players who joined for a week or a month and then vanished. The highest-ranked of those is the ship's chief engineer. The ship's doctor is available. So are almost a dozen starfighter pilot slots, dozens of slots for naval troopers, the security chief, and more. I also allow, and strongly recommend, that players have 2-3 characters, each in a different role (ship's officer, pilot, grunt) so that no matter what the scene is the players will likely have a character that can actively participate in that scene rather than sit by twiddling their thumbs bored while other players get to have fun.
