I was considering running a GMed RP on this board and wanted to know if anyone was interested. We'd need at least four people other than myself. It would be structured like an episode with dice rolls for contested actions, but nothing too restrictive or complex. Thoughts?

Well, for a start, I'd like to know what GM is, to begin with.

I believe it means Game Master.

I'm afraid I'd need to be filled in on Gamemaster, as I only ever play Empire Earth.
4? Shouldn't it be 5 if including Plushielove?

The gamesmaster thinks up the story and controls the NPC's. When characters move the GM describes what they can see. When an NPC does something the GM describes it. In this case the GM would also make the dice rolls.
I would think that we would need four people, plus the gamesmaster.

I...see.
I take it that it takes only four people to play the game, right?

I'm thinking that the players would form a frigate crew, so four is about the minimum.

And which frigate are we using? Screaming Mimi, Indefatigable, Righteous Indignation or our own frigate?
Personally, I'd go for Screaming Mimi, as that has four crew already.

I was thinking creating a new ship. Or maybe doing something completely different. At the moment it doesn't look like there will be enough interest.

Well, if you just say what exactly you have in mind, then we'll see if anybody is interested.

At the moment it can be anything that will cause two further people to join.

OK. Just one thing, though...is this still set in the Aniverse or any universe we can think of?
