So... I'm looking for 4 or 5 players interested in a Space Opera game, set in my "After Exodus" universe. The setting has a bit of almost everything, being a mash-up of settings that I've lovingly ripped-off.

The players would be crew members of a free trading starship, set at about the beginning of the DFR Conquest period.

Ideas? Thoughts? Accusations?

How well-versed in the setting should I be?

Really depends on what you want to play. When I'm working from a "home brewed" setting I try to make sure I inform people when they encounter something they "should know", but still, there are some character types that are easier than others.

For instance, if you wanted to play a Priest Caste character from the Dragon Free Republic, that would require a lot of "insider information" on the setting. If you wanted to play your average space pirate or port-town kid, you don't need to know nearly as much going in.

Okay, I'll come up with a few concepts, send them your way, and you give me some recommended reading!

I'm trying to come up with a concept, but I'll admit I'm trying to wrap my head around the setting. Tentative "maybe" from me.

I to have a concept or two running through my head...but would like more information about the setting before I try to solidify a character. Of course it would help if it was a system I had the books for...D20 modern/future being about the only D20 game I never bought any of the books for.
However I believe I recall enough info from the books to be able to play in it.

Sorry for sitting on this for so long!

I think I want to play a Charismatic Hero and go from there towards Space Monkey. I'll have to cross-class to Tough Hero at level 3, but I think that won't really be too bad.
