Hi Rishi, Absolutely not. What Dark and I are discussing is the creation of a fully developed, well thought out roll playing game, that would be a stand alone program. Dark and I are both interested in a science fiction roll playing game that has a large explorable world or universe from the

Hi Dark, That is unfortunately all too common these days. It seems no matter what we do such as turn on the television, pick up a book, or play a new video game it seems like the authors lack any sense of originality and inspiration for something really new. Lacking some new and innovative story

Hi Darren, Oh, there is nothing wrong with inspiration in of itself. The problem Dark and I are talking about here is taking story x and simply replacing names of people, places, and things and sticking new labels on them. In a case like that it is not an original idea inspired by an existing

Hi Tom. Well with voyager and ds9 I have some thoughts about strengths and weaknesses of the series, but that's sort of outside the main focus of discussion here. I'm afraid I disagree that science fiction has! to rigidly follow current scientific thinking for a story to work, indeed I've

I also find it rather irritating myself when plot ideas or elements were clearly borrowed from other books, even when the author did! start with an original idea. Rick riordon's series of books about griek gods in the modern age for instance, had a very unique idea, the half mortal, half
