Shock:s I want to see.

Next to Burning Wheel, Shock: Social Science Fiction is the game I have probably played the most in the last year.

There are a few games of it that I want to play, things that are roaming around in my head.

Spaceships with Fins

Inspired entirely by too many downer games of Shock: and Ignition City (more on this delicious comic book by Warren

Your different-era idea - I seem to recall rpgactionfigure and was it eyes_of_winter did this structure and made it sing... either of you guys out there with the wise comments?

Indeed, our actual play can be found here for all to see.

After watching The Screwfly Solution, I'd really like to try some sci-fi horror shocks.

I want to see in play all the elements of every one of these ideas.

GO!

Shock: Something like...Interstellar travel is colorful and awesome.

Issues: Colonialism, Genocide, Fascism

I think I sense some thematic friction here. Which can be good, of course. It reminds me of some friends whose shock was the 70's low-grad-porno-worthy "The only aliens are just like us, except dumber and more attractive," then proceeded to accidentally create a story that was half Death in Venice meets A Boy and His Dog and half Angels and Demons meets In The Name of the Rose.

Have you ever tried Universalis? I've yet to get anyone to play with me, but it certainly seems close to the perfect game for "getting together with friends and just making shit up."
