Reality or Fictional location?

If reality then possible litigation but authenticity. A parralel world distorted mirror world. 

Reality gives a bonus of familiar landscapes.

Maybe use Dresden files rpg for city creation or burning empires for space/planetary setting.

I've got Burning Wheel, but not Burning Empires - Dresden I've not read the RPG, but will have a look ASAP.  I've read the first two books and seen a couple eps of the TV show. I do think that giving locations traits similar to what we do in Starblazer and Spirit of the Century can be a good impetuous for narrative consistency and inspiration --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/08/28 10:47//

Earth vs Space - the former does give us the luxury of familiar settings to insert horror into.  Space has more unknowns for exploiting as horror - but you have to dedicate more of each episode to world creation/establishment.  That's fine if you do it in an entertaing way (ala the Withering offsides in Nebulous) but it could become a chore, ending up as standard exposition.  Unless we go the route of serial rather than episodic - and folk must listen to previous episodes for world establishment.  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/08/28 10:49//

Just a quick note that I've edited the configuration file now so that signatures (the second from the right editing button) now show the correct time --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/08/28 11:40//

Burning Empires has two adversarial sides and is set up for that - if we go scifi do we want something similar?  Possibly a Cthulhu type invasion - we just redefine the three areas that numbers are used  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/09/12 14:18//

===== From Meeting 7/12/12 =====

Battlestations setting - only the likely probability of getting permission from the creators with whom I'm on good terms.  It mixes space opera, classic trek-like tropes, comedy and horror - everything we're looking for. Puns if not forced.  Crude humour if it's clever.  Horror shouldn't go overboard in SFX  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/12/11 14:23//
