To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I have visited this sight many times in the past but now I feel that I might be able to contribute to the SSC community. For a long time i have been working on multiple sci-fi Universes of my own.

 

The first one is about excavating gargantuan derelicts that are found scattered throughout the Oort cloud and later the rest of the galaxy. I got the idea from Space Hulk from Warhammer 40k but for my idea it would be less killing unspeakable horrors(although their will be some) and more exploring and excavating technology. Which is why i'm studying programming this year.

 

The second idea I have is more of a sociological idea more focused in a low, hard fantasy setting(Think Conan but with alien artifacts all over the world) that evolves into something greater.

 

But for now I just feel like talking and discussing things mostly because I'm bored.

"..less killing unspeakable horrors (although there will be some).." Brilliant! 😀

 

Welcome to SSC medchtsia! Both those ideas sound absolutely great to me - and also extremely original, which is unusual in this genre. As you say, some elements of 40K in there, but a bit different.

 

Are you planning on creating games in these settings, primarily? Or writing fiction? Or a bit of both if you have then time/skill? 🙂

You look good through a crosshair.

I'm planing on doing both actually. I am currently working on structure for both universes and creating a guide for my Derelicts one which will contain information on factions, technology, and recent events along with starting points for a future game. That and it takes place after the first interplanetary war just to add more reasons to why the artifacts are important.

Welcome to the forums Medchtsia.

 

Ever read the space viking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Viking always loved the idea of a collapsed galactic empire, shame more games don't use it.

Ah, interesting Pinback! I played the Traveller RPG back in the '80s, and I always wondered if the "Sword Worlds" coalition in the official game setting was inspired by some other source. Now I know 🙂
