I vote for diesel punk. The concept of a star trek type rp in a more gun toting setting seems interesting.

Seems to me Dieselpunk is in the lead at 8-5 over Cyberpunk, when the 'either' votes are applied to both categories.

Should we start drawing up our awesome ship crew?

I'm not likely to be ready for a good while yet, but Dieselpunk is the one I'm working on.

I'd love to do either, honestly. So far, my literary exploits have devolved entirely into something more suited for a group authoring project, a lá Nationstates. Lots of words, no real cooperation, and a lot of worldbuilding.

I miss doing an actual forum style RP, and honestly I'm good for either. Cyberpunk might be a bit more fun, at least for me, because I do enough worldbuilding over on NS. I really don't care either way, though.

An update:
Over the past 6 months I've been working on this on and off. I don't think I'm ready to run a game quite yet, but I'm close. The original idea has changed somewhat to include more espionage and more limited crew positions, but I believe I have a better understanding of what the game will entail. I'll explain in greater detail in the intro post, whenever that gets put up.

What I've got:
A better understanding of crew roles
A more focused plot and a clear macguffin
A setting that actually works
A set of nice monospace fonts
A grapefruit

What I have yet to determine:
Appropriate story pacing
Appropriate post pacing
A few character sheets
The name of the game
Why I bought a grapefruit when I hate grapefruit

When to expect this:
I have no idea. I told Twippit "by the end of june" back when I made this post originally, so I obviously have no sense of time or scale when it comes to nonessential projects like this. I hope I can get this going by mid-November, but school is always an issue. We'll see.

Until then, may the road rise with you.

I laughed more than I should have at those little tide bits but I enjoyed them none the less. I'm still looking forward to this RP whenever it gets off the ground but like you, classes at the University may proveven to an issue at that time, among other this as well.
Thanks. One of the things I have planned is a slow posting pace, to accommodate those of us with less free time.
