I've been lurking for a while now, and now I'm compelled to make an appearance.

I originally found this site while I was looking for a Firefly based PbEm (Play by E-mail game). So far, no real luck in finding that, but I did find this wonderful place, so I'm glad for that.

I was a fan of Firefly when it originally aired, but lost track due to a busy life. I finally had the time to watch the DVD's. I'm hooked like there's no tomorrow.

Since the very, very, very horrible ending to Enterprise, I've been uninspired to write in my usual Trek PbEM (which I shouldn't since I'm a GM, Gosh!).

Firefly brought back that 'urge to write' ...and I need more Firefly. In a perfect world, a more deserving network would pick-up Firefly and help produce new episodes. Oh well, the world isn't perfect.

Anyway, glad to be here. Hope to make a couple of new buds, and ...god willing... even a good Firefly based PbEM. So far, nothng in the 'verse has turned up.

Thanks for the welcome!

PbEM = Play by E-mail game. It's a role playing game played entirely in email.

It's perfect for someone like me who just doesn't have the time to dedicate to chat based or IRC based games.

I guess I should've been more specific in my post. Well, time to edit.

Welcome to the delurking side of FFFn, RomanChase

.

Knibblet, PbEm is Play by Email RPG type things. Basically the same thing as Play by Mail, only quicker. [editted to add: Whoops. This paragraph now redundant]

I have fond memories of running my own countries in Hyborian War. Pretty glad it was PBM and not PbEm, however. $7 per turn every two weeks was stretching it on my allowance back then

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Welcome to the site RomanChase. Glad to have you aboard.

Well, if it makes you feel any better Sci Fi will be picking up Firefly for rebroadcast next month leading up to the release of the movie in September.

In case you missed it, there is also an official RPG coming out in September.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and the mudmilk (all over my new brown coat, no less.)

This has to be one of the warmest welcomes I've ever had. I'm not a member of many communities. I did try to get onto the official Star Trek one, but some of them seemed to not take kindly to me slamming the Enterprise Finale. Plus, it was too crowded.

Thanks again!!

yeah, I always thought of myself as a trekkie...until I tried hanging with them. They take things too seriously. It's why I love FFF.net. Browncoats can laugh at themselves. And we don't mind it when people say we're insane...we are.

btw, we slammed the Enterprise finale. It was awful. It was disrespectful....I pretend I didn't watched it.

I am part of a Trek SIMM, and those people are cool, don't take things seriously, etc, etc, but... the forum fans were...different. Anyway, I'm glad to be a Browncoat.

Oh, and the Enterprise finale... yeah, disrespectful, unfair, and uninspiring. As a 'trekkie' ...I don't accept that finale as 'The Finale' ...not by a longshot.

Hey RomanChase, and welcome to the crew. I think you'll like it here, everyone is pretty considerate and (believe it or not) good for a decent conversation if you're bored or (in my case) lonely. Stop by the chat area or hang out in the Taglog sometime.

Check out the Browncoat Online Photoalbum. Thank Fray101. http://clik.to/photoverse

Don't worry, son, it gives the coat character.

BTW, Trek was my first intro to sci-fi when I was a kid.

I'm not sure if I've been around long enough to be qualified to say Welcome..... but I'll throw it out there anyway.

I agree with you on the finale....seemed too thrown together. The one character I liked and could relate to (Trip), they made look silly and out of character. Once again, a studio more concerned with money than story or history.
