So these meanwhile posts give each of us the freedom to add to the lore of the Interplanetary Space Friends universe? I'm so into that! How do you feel about adding additional side villains? [/quote]

That's the plan, yes! As for side villains, that's fine too; it seems like we're on the same page when it comes to needing to discuss throwing anything too ridiculously over-powered into the galaxy. These side-villains could be pursuing their own nefarious scheme that intersects with the players down the line, or perhaps they've joined up with Doctor Frosty and his ill-considered plot(s) to reclaim the Quest For Flavour, or perhaps they don't have anything to do with the crew or the ship, and they could just be somebody that we may, or may not, run into at a later date.

Incidentally, one of my favourite "indie" RPGs to play is Microscope, which is basically "collaborative world building: the game", and so it was only a matter of time before I started taking elements from that and throwing it in here. It's always fun to see people being creative, and seeing that creativity inspire more creativity. It's why I'm enjoying running a game here, because every time somebody posts something, I'm going "[i]oh, oh, oh, that gives [b]me[/b] an idea![/i]" and so plots and themes and characters that I would never have thought of on my own get scribbled down to be thrown into the game when I can.

Okay, that's enough rambling, it turns out I get a bit sentimental and gushy after midnight and too much hot chocolate. I hope everyone has a good weekend; I'll probably get an opportunity to catch up and post tomorrow (Saturday) evening when I ought to be asleep. Speaking of sleep...
