Ok, I've started running a firefly roleplay using my own d20 system, it begins 1 week after the pilot episode and after the great first session we had I thought people might be interested in what happens. Havn't decided if I'm going to fic them or just note them, but it sure will be entertaining! The characters are: Christopher Brannen: A rogue and a smuggler, Brannen is looking for a crew and a ship to take irradiated Trans-U parts back to his station for testing. He works for a company called Trans-Universal shipping. CJ Stark: A young independence pilot, he was ready to go into serenity valley to save his father but when the independents pulled out and his father died, he left the war effort and returned home to become a racing pilot. Finding out his mother was being beaten by her husband, the town mayor, CJ literally rammed his ship into him and killed him. On the run from the law CJ has come to whitefall on the gas his ship had left, and is now looking for work to get further out of the system. Timothy Raser: A doctor who, though trained by the Alliance, swapped sides to the Independents after he left. His empathy for his patients causes him to cut on himself every time he loses one, which in turn led to him turning to a PCP-like substance to cope. Raser is a mystery to the crew, calm and collected his role is as yet uncertain. Morgan Zeppelin: An Alliance grunt, while visiting his parents on Whitefall he was held up and lost all his money, the Alliance unwilling to pick him up have ordered him to get off the moon by any means necessary. Devlin Murdock: Sadist, likes dancing. Devlin likes to skin things, and unfortunatly he has a tendency for doing it in public places. An Independent mechanic, he worked on large freighter class ships until the end of the war. Since then, he has been taking odd jobs wherever he can get them. Crystal O'Hara: Beautiful, intelligent and with a love of all things pink, Crystal is a companion booking passage on the Daisy (Brannen's new ship) to take her to the nicer places in the 'verse. Her reasons for being on Whitefall, and her past are a mystery.

Cuz I knew if I used the title, "New Crew for 'Serenity?'" you'd all get the wrong idea. According to the IMDB, the crew is settling in for the film... and as much as Joss sang the praises of Cinematographer David Boyd, now I read that the DP for 'Serenity' is going to be Jack N. Green. Jack Green?! I mean, sure, he was nominated for an Oscar for "Unforgiven" and all that, but I mean, what ELSE has he done? I double-checked his filmography... yes, he can Light and all that, but where's the STYLE? Where's the... PANACHE?? What other changes can we not look forward to? Costumes? SETS?!?! I'm scared. Somebody please hold me.

Okay, I know we're all stoked about the potential for competition btw Serenity and Star Wars, but I was curious, when does everyone think the best time for Serenity to be released would be? My point is that Tons of movies are released in the summer - more than probably any other time of the year, and therefore it is hard for even good movies to stay at number 1 more than one week in a row unless they appeal to wide group of ages (ie Shrek, Nemo). However, Fall and Spring are notoriously horrible movie times w/ either bad dramas or bad comedies. Wouldn't it be better to see Serenity released among these so that it would enjoy a long run at number 1 and long run in the theaters and demonstrate it's money making power? Look at lord of the rings after all. It's been many years since a summer flick enjoyed those kind of numbers (Total Recall in fact, was discussing this with a friend yesterday). So I'm actually hoping for production delays so the movie can come out in fall (even though I'm impatient as hell to see it!!).

sigh that thread on survivor... just made me shiver really, being watched doing routine tasks day in day out...it sends a shiver down my spine. people find it interesting..whenever they say that i always ask why. thing is most of your life you wish you were someone else... or you wish for time to slip by. Then one day you wake up thinking "i want to live in the NOW" you wake up and you're out of time.
