[Primetime Adventures] pre-game killing game?
Alan:
HI Dionysis,
Well, it is the pilot so you can adjust characters after the episode too.
I notice that the Chaplain and Security Chief both have Issues that are more like character goals. You might find these fall kind of flat in play, or don't have much legs. It's interesting that both characters have edges that would make good Issues. See how it plays then adjust for the season.
Callan S.:
Well, those details aren't irrelevant (I don't think you should be saying that), but it's the rules of prime time adventures that control play, not the rules of thermo dynamics.
I'd guess they are actually well meaning - alot of RPGs just have a power vacuum in the rules, that males tend to try and fill with technical detail. Their trying to fill a hole that isn't there. I hardly know enough to know it for sure, but at the same time I'm suggesting they have good will in mind in what they thought was necessary.
Wordmaker:
The only problem I see in the situation is that one player became intimidated by the jargon and wanted to change character as a result. If a player ever feels that they can't enjoy the game the way they wanted, that needs to be addressed. Now, maybe the player just realised that she wasn't confident enough to come up with technical jargon in play, and just needs some encouragement, but on the chance that she felt like the tech-heads would shout her down if she contradicted their specs, then there's an issue.
Overall, though, this sounds like it could just be simple enthusiasm. So long as they don't try to browbeat anyone else at the table with their specs, it should be fine.

I've been meaning to come back to this thread and write exactly this.

I really really want to hear how the first game goes. The players definitely seem excited. I think I would frame the opening credits with like all their schematics digitized, being flashed across the screen. Lots of numbers and vectors and line drawings of the ship. All sorts of cool space color.
