 December 5, 2008 - 7:33pm | I was thinking it would be grand to have Archtypes in FS. Something ready for Players and GM's. I would also like to see specific characters built. Colorful people like; Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Harcourt_Mudd |

 December 6, 2008 - 2:03am | Yeah they're good for concepts, ideas, and such... but they're GREAT from a Referee's stanpoint (cuz you can have instant stats for NPCs and for visiting players who aren't part of a regular game). Also, they help describe the genre of the game. For instance, in the SW RPG from WEG, thy had archetypes called smuggler, failed jedi, rebel pilot, etc. These gave flavor. Any suggestions on a good list that feels frontiersish? 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
