What games would you prefer to play for the following intervals, and at what power level would you like to start?
Single session
a. The stuff people have list sound cool. I prefer 2-3 session games because I like stories to have a beginning, middle, and end. I do not think 1 shot games do this very well. I will play/run any system we have not played in the last 2 years as a one shot to see if we like it.
Brief storyline (2-5 sessions)
a. D&D 4th ed at level 11 or 16 play 1 mission
b. Dead Lands w/ starting creations + that merit that effectively gives a level
c. Theatrics WOD
d. Cheyne mentioned amber which I agree with.
Expanded Storyline (6-12 sessions, similar to a season in a tv show)
a. Mage w/starting creation we have talked about
b. Changeling w/starting creation we have talked about
c. Exalted under the current world 400 years from how with E6-7. New characters

anything I already listed if it goes well.

What games would you prefer to play for the following intervals, and at what power level would you like to start?
Single session
a. Maybe nWoD Mortals (like the last one we did)/? (xp totals for one-shots are largely irrelevant to me, since characters cannot reasonably advance - totals should be based on the requirements of the story)
b. Almost anything once (gives a taste of it, at least)
c. Maybe something cyber-punk-ish for a total genre change?
Brief storyline (2-5 sessions)
a. Feng Shui/? (not sure that I care about xp totals for this game)
b. Mission-based Sidereals? (could be fun for a few related missions from Oversight or something)
c.
Expanded Storyline (6-12 sessions, similar to a season in a tv show)
a. D&D 3.5/12-18th-ish level - Common, you know you love Math: The Game
b. Exalted Dynastic Intrigue/50-100xp starting
c. Possibly something oWoDish - unlike many others, I have never participated in a long-running oWoD game
Long or Indefinite storyline (13 sessions +)
a. Exalted/0+ (long term games should work from the bottom up; would like a reboot world)
b. Star Wars (WEG - NOT D20 EVER!)/0+
c. ? - will come back to this at a later time
))))
What Power level do you generally like to play at within any given system, with 1 being the most basic character, straight out of creation, and 10 being the top tier of power available in systems?
Power level: 6-10 (I really hate being the useless level 1 piece of shit - note that starting Celestial Exalted characters qualify to start at about a 5 on this scale :P)

Looking at it, shoving stuff around a bit so we can get some consensus, it looks like some patterns are emerging. I put the compiled list up on the bottom of the first post.
First off, though people didn't necessarily list them as their top prefs for playing, almost every single person listed Space/Fantasy/Superheroes as their favorite genres. We should do stuff in these, sense they are popular.
Second, it looks like very few people are generally interested in playing low-level games. So we should keep that in mind for character creation.
3rd, people seem interested in using 1-shots more as sample games rather than a recurring play style. Since many of the games we want to try can't be successfully ran in a 1-shot, we will likely want to do one of two things:
1)Avoid 1-shots and focus on 2-3 shots for game we want to play a little but not as a long term thing.
2)Design starting scenarios for such games with future play in mind, so that the setting can be returned to at a later point (and without as much world-building effort)
4th, people all want to try new stuff, but everyone also wants to play 1 or more variants of OWoD/NWoD. These are mutually exclusive propositions. However,
I have a solution, that I am willing to run.
I will run a limited session (2-3) Hunters Hunted type scenario, with the ability to expand out into a string of 1-shots and small storylines. The XP will be set at 35, with supernatural Power traits locked at 2 starting. All creature types are welcome, however only 1 of each type is allowed. Mortals are just as viable, and will not be viewed as "lesser" in-game (and shouldn't be in a metagame sense either, as their powers are strong and cheap), as they are just another variety of supernatural creature. All critter types are welcome, though some may require changes to be playable (Promethean, I'm looking at you; mobs are bad, m'kay). Any Mortal character should have some sort of power, look in Second Sight, Hunter: tV, and Reliquary.
The setting will assume that the majority of entities that are a part of the supernatural world are malevolent. It will also assume a slightly more isolated feel than the standard social organizations present, though they will still exist. Character goals will be to defend humanity (and the 'good' monsters) from the horrors that stalk the WoD, using their unique capabilities while avoiding corruption by them.
))))
I will post a tentative games roster soonish.

I found a Star Wars D6 PbP game over on rpol a little while ago. Its getting me back into the system again. I may be competent enough with the system again in a few weeks to start looking at putting something together.
I strongly favor the KOTOR era of the Star Wars universe for play in as it is a HUGE SWATH of empty time where you can do pretty much anything without having to worry about the movies or the EU stuff. You can tear down the whole damn Republic and they've still got a few thousand years to try to put it back together before Episode I. The KOTOR era also lets one freely play pretty much any sort of being of any species, force sensitive or not. I like that because it offers a lot of play options.
I have also discovered, on my harddrive, every WEG Star Wars book ever published. I actually own several and I may pursue used copies of several others (Alien Encounters in particular, as it is basically the 'big book of races').
Anyway, I think that will help to satisfy some of the sci-fi desire we've got going. I'll probably start a separate thread at some point to start collecting more specific info about what people would like to see.

We should all get together and decide who wants to play what.
If not I call the mage slot, and want to trade it if possible to paul.

Interestingly enough Steven, I have had a Star Wars bug myself. Somewhere i have a list of rules changes to help deal with most of the messed up stuff in the d6 system. It makes the force easier to run, and combat flow a bit smoother. I never like the combat system of D6, and I heard nothing but complaints.
My Idea was for the setting I made a few years ago. THe game fell apart cause people suck, but the story had potential. Old Republic is also good. I agree with you completely.
I actually own hardcopies of around 30 books for d6 SW, should that make things easier. WHen I get back to OK, ill make sure to have them with me.
