Hangin' at the Big Bug

You know me, I have a lot of projects in mind. And one of the big ones I'd love to do is Gunmetal. I think there's something very... nice thinking about a caravan of helpers that keep on going even when things are tough. And giving them the resources and the machines to hold the wasteland together is very empowering.
Once I started thinking of "The Big Bug" as like a ship in Star Trek, where you have a colorful cast of characters all very good at their jobs, I think that made the setting much more accessible. I could start making up little adventures set around this basic idea. You just have this ship of good guys going around helping folks, and it can be as simple as that.
And the ship is big enough that I could easily pull in characters and actors from my other settings. I like reusing actors, it kinda keeps them alive ya know.

Big Bug is a big hit! It'd be great to see this whole idea developed further, see more of the ship, characters, and world setting than what we've seen so far. Also, if you're gonna pull in character from your other settings, perhaps Spacesuit Wearing Food Delivery person could bring the Big Bug folks some food? :thumbsup:

2025-01-20 11:13:55 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity, have you ever read the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers? In it (particularly in the second book) there's a VR game series for kids called "The Big Big Crew", about going on adventures in a spaceship which I believe is called the Big Bug, and I couldn't help but imagine Colette having named the ship after something like that :)
