Heyo folks!
Where's everyone calling home these days? Have you all found any interesting games based on a TV show, book series, or otherwise? Found yourself getting along with a new group of players?

Summary:
Interesting/thriving games, original or otherwise
(account deleted)I am kinda haunting Steel & Stone, not really 'playing' tho. Other than that…nothing.
I haven't MUSHed since August of last year. For what it's worth, there is a Dune game that's currently in development. No idea when it might actually open, though.
I still haven't found a game with the blend of setting and players as this one, and I've been looking a while now. Sad part is, I introduced a few folks to the series, and without even playing here, they still see the awesomesauce.
Word on WORA is that Vandenberg, Ciro, and Circe are developing a new BSG game. A wiki is up, mostly full of general setting files lifted from Cerberus (Air Wing FAQ, military protocol, all the kickass stuff Evandreus' player wrote about religion, et cetera). They're calling it Battlestar Orion, but it appears that a large part of it will take place at some secret, unfinished military/research base that survived Warday 'cos the project was kept off the books, thus unknown to the Cylons. Here's the wiki link.
I approve. And the good thing? I already have some char concepts for development. SUCCESS.

(emphasis added)
We just want to be very clear that while they are lifting portions of the wiki direct from Cerberus (and we probably don't care since I'm told bits of ours were lifted from Genesis originally or whatever anyway) this new game is not affiliated with Cerb, or a sequel to Cerb, or a continuation or anything like that. Totally new game, run by totally new people, with no input from any of us Cerb staff (beyond 'just fyi, maybe don't cap your stats at 7, we did and it was dumb'), and no bearing on whether Pol and Tuc and Hydra and I still end up finishing Cerb at some point in the future or not. Just so you all know. (But H and I, at least, will definitely be playing there. We have Ideas.)
As Volans stated, the new game is not affiliated with Cerberus. Wiki pages were taken and lifted from here the same way that they were taken from Kharon/Hestia and from Genesis and from Pacifica. Its become something of a tradition at this point. I've even got a copy of the Pax wiki and its fun to look at and see how these pages have evolved over time.
Been getting a lot of good feedback from Cerberus staff about lessons learned and what was effective. At the very least there has been a lot of good dialogue about the games during alpha testing. While Cerberus staff is not involved with the actual production or running of Orion, they have been a large help and I'd be remiss if I didn't give them that credit.
It is worth noting that this is not going to be a traditional BSG game. We are standing the theme on its head in several respects. It will be the traditional BSG theme we have been playing out over the last several years but not what most people are used to. This will agree with some, it will disagree with others. We've also changed up some of the departmental organization, added positions, a new flyable aircraft called 'Predator', and given the Raptors more teeth.
We will not be fleeing this time.
