Sliders: The Roleplaying Game

From: SL4ever

I have no idea if there are enough people around who:

1) Have any interest in Roleplaying Games in general and a Sliders one in particular...

2) I haven’t personally alienated yet...

3) Have the time for such a thing. (though the way I am envisioning things, it will be flexible enough to fit everyone’s schedules)

But the only way to find out is to ask. I’ve completed a general story (the players themselves will tell the final story by their actions and successes or failures) and am adapting the Star Trek TNG roleplaying engine so all I need now are enough players.

The Story: The Labyrinth

This is an action story. Quinn, Arturo, Wade, and Remmy arrive inside a metal hallway stretching at least a hundred yards in either direction. Many offshoot hallways are visible. They quickly determine that the alloy used in the walls, floors, and ceiling adversely affects the timer so it is no longer working. They have no idea how long they have before their time runs out and they cannot activate a vortex unless they escape the Labyrinth.

Unbeknownst to them (but beknownst to you guys since I’m telling you) other Sliders have arrived and not been able to find their way out in time and so still roam the hallways. (implying there are food and water sources)

Call the Sliders escape the Labyrinth, and the other inhabitants, in time?

The Characters (that are playable, anyway):

Good

Remmy
Quinn
Arturo
Wade

Bennish
Wing

Evil

Logan

Evil Maggie
Colonel Rickman

Kytill the Kromagg
Kollock the Kromagg
(you can change Maggs names to something less lame if you like)

Materials needed to play:
Paper for sketching the maze (grid paper is best)
Email (IM is optional)

Rules and whatnot will be provided ahead of time. As I said, I’m basically taking what I want from the STTNG game so if you’ve ever played that it will be familiar to you. The game will either be played in a chat room if we can get everyone together at once or via email or both.

So if you’re interested, reply with which character you wish to play. :-P

PS. This is going to be a wide open game. If you want to be evil but worry about the Narrator playing favorites, perish the thought. If Wade’s head gets cut off, it gets cut off. We’ll toss it in a fishbowl and move on.

I have a bit of choice:)
I don't have a clue about the STG roleplaying engine, but I think I can grasp the rules:)

I want to be either Wade or Logan. I don't want Maggie, evil or nice, and I don't want a guy role.

hard time drawing, but I can play :)

Blessings

this'll be fun
