Additional 2014 information - Matterplay1 - 01-02-2014
Some other points from our AGM:
1) The current Board will continue into the coming year. This is not to say we're not interested in seeing new Board members!
2) Further to that first item, we would like to increase the number of people who are formal, voting, 'Tier II' members: people who can vote for, and potentially be, members of the project's Board, and who can weigh in on issues and major directions for the OAUP. To that end we've decided to waive the first year's membership dues for anyone who is joining for the first time. So, if you are interested in having a bigger role in steering the Orion's Arm project, contact me or Todd for more details.
3) This year we are going to focus on the Orion's Arm RPG project, with the idea of having some of the materials ready by the end of 2014. We are thinking of two major areas of development: one is a general set of background for the OA setting from the point of view of roleplaying, something that would be applicable to any rule set used. The other is more specific, an adaptation of OA material to Steve Jackson Games' GURPS system. If you are interested in roleplaying games, please look to the threads in that forum. If you know someone who is interested in RPGs, particularly science-fiction RPGs but who is not yet part of this forum, do let them know!
As Todd mentioned, let us know if you have any questions about this year's directions.
