So yeah. I'm thinking of running something else if I ever work up the motivation and recover some documents I need to do the stuff.
I have a few concepts/plans to work with here. Mostly what I'm looking for is input on them and which generates the most interest.
Post-Apocalypse
Set on the planet Adelphus in a distant star system, this scenario follows the exploits of a group of unlikely heroes sent forth to, at first, secure additional food supplies for their bunker. The year is 2066, and two of Adelphus' superpowers wiped each other out.
In the red corner, we have the Fahlburg Empire, a sprawling technologically superior utopia where every citizen was enhanced with cyborging and implantation, and their armed forces were the most advanced on the planet.
In the blue corner, we have the Enterian Federation, a technologically average nation that possessed an extremely strong economy and industrial capacity. They favoured biomodification and enhancement over cyborging and implantation.
They both wiped each other almost clean off Adelphus in a nuclear firestorm. Each left behind a series of bunkers designed to protect select portions of their populace - from simple workers and civilians, to government personnel, to military assets such as the Fahlburg Skybase Prime, a hidden mountain fortress used as a massive launch facility for Fahlburg aircraft.
In particular, we follow a group from an MC-class (Mixed, Civilian) bunker that sealed it's doors in 2062, a month before the nuclear launches. However, as with all post-apocalypse scenarios, they are not the only survivors roaming the Wastelands, and there's almost certainly something else out there...
Starbase Type 1
A scifi action/adventure mystery that follows the civilian personnel of a massive starbase that has suffered a series of unusual accidents. Each character wakes up in a different area with no real memory of their former self. It's up to them to survive, find out what happened to the station, and escape!
Starbase Type 2
A scifi exploration that follows the story of a group of scientific personnel dispatched to an ancient alien starbase in order to discover it's true purpose. They are not the first expedition, but no others before them have returned. Will they suffer the same fate, or will they return with the purpose of this monolith? Only time will tell.
Firefly-esque
Best described as Firefly-esque, this scenario follows the crew of a civilian freighter as they do odds and ends around the galaxy - be it simple asteroid surveying and prospecting, or mercenary missions. The game begins with the crew prospecting an asteroid belt before landing on a planet to survey it for colonization as a mining world, with the optional objective of examining the wreck of one of the original freight liners and recovering any remaining, salvageable cargo.

More to come, as inspiration arrives. Any off-topic posts will be removed without warning.

Added poll. Name in brackets is closest comparison I can think of in terms of general atmosphere.
