So after posting before about the 7th world and realizing that it would still be the 6th I realized I really like the idea of a Battlerun game. I imagine it the baby of these influences Shadowrun, Battle Tech, Mass effect, Total Recall, War Hammer 40K, Eclipse Phase, Battle star Galactica, Farscape, Firefly, Aliens, and Terminator.
Imagine giant living ships of wood with special awakened trees that emit a manasphrere filled with Elves traveling through the metaplanes to appear back in a star system near Mars. A battle is already raging between Machine Entities and a living insect spirit "ship" a giant insect spirit filled with smaller versions of itself.
Or a small ship with a motley crew trying to avoid the notice of the Empire. It's filled with former criminals turned "salvage" little more than space pirates or interstellar mercenaries. Taking on jobs in the border planets or sneaking into the inner ring not knowing if their next Johnson is going to sell them out.
What do you think? What year would it be to be after a scourge or during but not before the mana is too low? What details stand out in your mind? What do you think the world would be like?
(the reason I was thinking mostly low or mana tech is because of super CFD and nanites running amok)
