Thanks to Clinton for setting me up at Heph's -- I'll be hosting the MMT message board here from now on.

Also, for those people thinking, "who the hell is this guy?" -- My name is Jared Sorensen. I'm an amateur game designer and I've been (steadily) designing games for about four years now...you can see my games and gaming material at http://www.memento-mori.com/main.

My first "pro" product is coming out in June. It's a supplement for the Sorcerer RPG by Ron Edwards and it's called Schism.

Stay frosty!

- Jared

Dear Mr. Sorenson,

I've been talking a bit with Scott Knipe (hardcoremoose) lately, and he encouraged me to contact you. I am very very interested in your Ars Mechanica setting, and am wondering what the development plans are for it. Is there a planned system to go with it, or are you just tossing out the setting for further development?

I have a game engine that with some work could be modified for this setting, and would, I think, be a pretty good match.

Please let me know if you are interested in further discussion on this topic.

Thank you,

Scott Heyden

Hey, Scott.

Nix the Mister...I don't wear a tie to work. :wink:

Ars Mechanica is officially in the "I'd love to do something with it but I have no good ideas right now" pile. Right now, it's just a setting (poo! poo! settings!) and I could approach it from a variety of angles. My own choice for it would be d20 or some kind of Narrativist system to create epic, mythic stories about these bots. I was considering using the Lead or Gold system I wrote (either that or just folding Galactos (the setting for Ars Mechanica) into LoG as a planet to encounter).

Feel free to email or post your ideas.
