SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've always wanted to run a murder mystery aboard a doomed space station, based very roughly on Grandaddy's song "OK with My Decay."

This hasn't come to fruition. Nor is it entirely apropos to your post. But such it is.
Don\'t forget rule no. 2, noobs. Seriously, just don\'t post there. Those guys are nuts.

Speak your mind here without fear! They\'ll just lock the thread anyway.

Wasn't that a DOCTOR WHO episode/Story??


 I could swear I've seen a version of the Doctor in that very predicament or situation.

Yeah, it certainly sounds like it.

I watched tons of Who as a kid and wouldn't be surprised if the germ of this idea slithered into my unconscious from that show.

Its a hackneyed device, but I love ship-clearing.

I use MapTool with a cloned monitor facing the players, and high-quality deckplans such as Noble Armada. Maptool lets you depict flashlight arcs, so you can really crank up the tension factor. The struggle to extract loot & info from a derilect shiop (with semi-failing life support) while trying to watch everywhere at once is always a good time. My players like it as well.

I got a few.

Artificial Intelligence gaining sentience - I ran a one shot set on a prison ship inspired by characters from Alien 3.

Aliens as cold metaphysicians conducting experiments on humans.

Guilds using nanotech.
