Ooh, I like it. Can I join? I'm open to any occupation.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome, CelestialFury! I've validated you, so now you can post on the game boards.

I'd like to play in this one too. Science fiction scenarios are always an interesting change of pace (I ran one myself not too long ago).

When you're ready to start, let me know by posting here and I'll set up a board for you (unless someone else beats me to it).

Sounds eerily like another game that's just started.

I'm game, though!
