I will let you pick either your mutation or your secret society... I pick the other... don't forget
Mutations are a sign of tampering with cloning and therefore Treason
Secret Societies subvert the will of the Computer and are therefore Treason
Treason is punishable by Death
and Remember the Computer is your Friend

I value Knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive. At my best, I am brilliant and progressive. At my worst, I am treacherous and cold. My symbol is a water droplet. My enemies are green and red.

well I was intending to recreate my favorite Deadlands character, Patch. He was a Texas Ranger Hexslinger... had spells like "Loaded for Bear" to up his damage on his gun and one that created phantom bullets in case he ran out of real ammo (they worked like normal but faded after they hit) and stuff like that.. best part was my friend Dana was playing a Pinkerton.. stupid city-slicker green horn... worthless in a fight I tell 'ya, worthless... accch' pthoo... *ding*...

ok. the feel will be gritty wild west with zombies. the powers, if people have them, will be more like LoEG stuff. a single schtick, charm, or knack that makes u... different.
what dice system? do people want dice? do they want to know their roles? what sytem for character creation?
deadlands is obvious, but the use of cards, paired with lameness of the rules, makes it not a favored choice.
gurps is ok, but i'll have to learn the gming rules.
nwod is very, very, very simple, and it has pretty good rules, is now almost as adaptable as gurps for non-scifi.
d6 is also good/easy, but requires new system.
feng shui is good, but has a few probs as far as power lvl creep and is a bit over the top for my gritty zombie western.
d20 is going to hell.
jovian/dreampod9 is a nice system, but a bit attribute heavy.
harp is a good system, and I like percentile very well.
make something up we always could also.

First, I like the idea of making a new system. Not necessarily for this game, but maybe. We could always set up a thread in which we purpose and test out rules for our own system. Then sell it, making tens of dollars!
Ok, I thought about oWoD because of the Werewolf Wild West stuff. But if we are moving away from the old (though my DA game will celebrate it in all its confusing glory), then maybe nWod is the way to go. GURPS seems cool, since we are all currently learning it and the character creation was fun. I vote GURPS.

Gurps would be fine and would allow anyone to make what they wanted since you say X skill is used for X situations... so things like cattle russlin' and claim jumpn' can have a representation of how good you are at that...
nWoD I see that the basic book could easily allow that era since the only thing that matters is equipment... dont know how the non-mundane abilities will be handled (vision questing, miracles, etc) will be hammered out though... could make the big baddie summoning the zombies with MtA book since it has the spell for making them (and ghosts, etc)...
I liked Deadlands alot but what really drew me was the "extra" added in to the Wild west to make it the Weird west... hucksters, hexslingers, miracle workers, shamans... all combined to make the drudgery of the wild west bearable as a backdrop instead of the focus... I also enjoyed the system but its method would be virtually impossible to run on here (much like Marvel)... but the various things that could be done I think should be kept if possible...

ok. we are between:
GURPS
NWOD
D6
Feng Shui
oh. we can also play d4 if you guys want... i'll have to pull out my notes though. that would be fun. and it is a generic setup too, so the skills/atts work for everything. and then i could work on perfecting my system...
i leave it to you guys. vote.
