Hey folks! First game was last night! For those of you who find this thread, we'll be playing again at the same time, 6 p.m. pacific time, if you care to join us. Let me know ahead of time so we can get you set up with a character.

I would like to try out both Gurps and online gaming. I know it's only been the first game, but how long do you plan a session to be?

I'd love to play in one if you guys will have me. I'm too lazy to go through every page so what day is it run?

The game went well for me. I was worried about the technical crap and lag. It was not buggy and there was very little lag. Google+ for a game is pretty cool. The sharing of documents and apps that you can use bring some of the table to the screen. It was cool to see and talk with other Happy Jacks listeners. The game went well enough that we are going to continue on with the story. I would have to say that the experience gave me enough information to play in a system unfamiliar. Overall it was a great experience.

How the game went: I think it went alright. I had a good time meeting other listeners and gaming with them. It became clear to me I need to get my GM chops back up, though. Fortunately, I have some good character info and lots of game world background. Most players used a custom google spreadsheets character sheet that I made, but I think I'll convert those over to standard character sheets. I now realize some deficiencies, most importantly that the spreadsheet that stretches over several pages inhibits learning the system.
When we'll be playing: Friday, 6 p.m. pacific time. I don't want to make it later, because we do have players that hail from other time zones.
New Players: Send me a personal message with your G+ info, and I'll add you to the relevant docs and we can get started on your character. If you want, we can go through step-by-step, or I can write a character based on your concept. If this game becomes too large, I'll start another one... I think. That might be too much. We'll see.
Edit: I'm thinking maybe Inception?

I would love to join, but I have to work on Sat mornings and I am on the East Coast.
I'm strongly considered trying to play and not go to sleep until 1am, but then realized I am no longer 20 something and should be an old man and go to bed early.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about the game and google+.

Hey folks! I'll be back on the eight; in theory, I could run a game that night, but I'll be pooped. I'll be home for three days. I've delegated to my friend, G.I. Joe, the task of letting me know about any posts that happen on this thread while I'm gone via text, so that I will see them as soon as I get off the trail.

Hey people. In light of the fact that I ended up deciding to play in zoomfarg's campaign, and not help him gm (why? because I prefer setting control, and yet did not want to F with zoomfarg's setting), I have decided to run a sci-fi game, if anyone is interested.
Here's the basic concept about the setting: The year is 2127 CE, the solar system is overcrowded, and so SCSC (Solar Council Space Command) is sending out colonization fleets into the universe.
I haven't decided on whether I'm going to leave it as a fleet, or just have the PCs be on an exploratory craft, but probably the fleet. There will be either no FTL, or it will be a bit like that in Battlestar Galaxtica, with "jumps" that are a limited range.
Feel free to ask questions, and I'll answer them the best that I can. If people seem interested, I will post more info. Also, I'm not sure what day and time I am going to run it, but that will depend entirely on my players. I'm thinking Saturday night sometime, but that is very tentative.

Hey folks! Sorry for the late notice. I got home last night, and have to prepare to leave again tonight and thursday night. I leave on Friday, but if anyone wants to game tomorrow night, I could run a game then. I've had a few folks message me saying they want to jump in on the game, so we might have some new faces
