In order to support the develop of the SOF RPG, and following considerable discussion, I am putting up a poll to vote on some of the system decisions.
Key information can found on the RPG construction and RPG meta-thread.

This poll has been moved to another board.

For the record, when I got to five I realised I had a preference, but would not find it earth shattering if that option were not available.
I guess I like the idea of a system that meshes with the Ship, but we don't need to reinvent the wheel-- if there are systems out there that work well, it's a good idea to study them for pointers, at least. Maybe even test-run a proprietary game once or twice to see how it works.

Much as I like the idea of something homespun, I'd also be OK with taking something very open-ended and making the minimum number of tweaks needed to make it ship-worthy.
I'd also say that I don't think I'd be particularly interested in playing a communal character, but I have no problem with others doing it. If two people were ready, willing and able to communal GM that might be a good thing. (The coordination work it would add to the gig may well not make it much less work than doing it on one's own).

Risus would be my choice for a test, nice and simple - with these one page challenge resources.
Most importantly for SOF, it is a free system that allows others to use it provided it is correctly cited. So no copyright issues for the ship.

Interesting results. I expected to be completely out in left field, but in fact I'm very much like everyone else. Or they're very much like me, which is a pleasing idea.

Some clear preferences have emerged which is helpful.

The one surprise for me here is that people seem pretty keen on keeping our current skills system. I'm not horribly opposed to this, but I did think the backgrounds idea was pretty nifty. I'd be interested to know if it's that other people don't like the backgrounds idea, or if people are OK with skills and mainly just don't want to fiddle with things that are working fine.

I suspect backgrounds doesn't really solve the problem of a) having to think stuff up without a list and b) still requires negotiation but at more inconvenient times.

I know that for myself I would have been fine with backgrounds too, but feel the skill system is fine and since I could only pick one I picked the easier one.
