This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

If you could live in a game world....

Transhuman Space, for sure.

Uplifted animals, genetic engineering and technological utopia. Of course, if you read Ray Kurzeil's "The Singularity is Near" he says some of us may live long enough to experience this anyway.

Regarding my own powers, I'd probably be a memehacker (close enough to whatI do for a living anyway) with an astropus (yes, check the rules - it's there) sidekick.

I would definitely get the hell off of Earth, too.

Eberron. As a warforged. With VP/WP and some feat or PrC that leaves me crit-immune.

Yeah.

Or maybe I'd be quori...

The way I see it, most people in RPG settings would kill to get to earth just so they could live in the Detroit projects.

I'll keep my cushy seat here, thank you. :D

If forced to take my pick, I'd go with Lookshy in Exalted.  I'd sign up for the Gunzosha legion and start bucking for Solar Exaltation before my batteries burned out.

I dunno.... that setting from the book of erotic fantasy is pretty tempting


:spank:
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Well, I'd go one of two ways:  
  • The Third Imperium of Classic Traveller, somewhere in the core, where I'd immediately enlist in the Merchants; or
  • A Fifth-wave nation in the future of Transhuman Space, for the healthcare and the access to information.  I'd probably get myself a new body that looked a little like Thomas Dolby, with bioluminescent neon accents and --
Umn, one of those two.

I lust for that kind of access to information. I can't wait until wireless technology and the internet become ubiquitous enough that I never have to leave it behind, and can carry it everywhere I go. I'd love to experience an electronically augmented reality.

I'll agree with you there.

's very fine indeed.

Hmm.  Lots of choices for good medical insurance and internet porn.  Very few choices for adventure.  I thought you were made of sterner stuff, rpgsite!

Dreampark for LARPing that actually looks enjoyable or Star Trek for the Holodeck, then I could visit any of the other worlds whenever I liked.

Hey, sucka, you stand here and you tell me, to my face, that Merchants in the 3rd Imperium don't have adventures.  While you're busy doing that, I'll be outrunning a bunch of gun-toting primitives whose holy relics I just bought with hooch.

EDIT:  My other choice would be Vanth.  You know, from Encounter Critical.  What Would Thrazar Do?  Try real hard to hang out with Rotwang!, is what.
