'''FAQ:'''<br>
'''Q.''' ''Why RPG gaming?''<br>
'''A.''' My dad gave me his collection of Pulp Sci-Fi (including dozens of Asimov's Magazine) shortly after I finished the OZ books. RPGs were the natural progression for me. All of my best friends have come from this game, and the shared stories and adventures therein. It is a creative outlet I can use in the car, on vacation, where ever whenever. <br><br>
'''Q.''' ''What attracted you to this particular game setting?'' <br>
'''A.''' A friend (and current player) decided to run a game a couple years ago in the setting. So I bought the series (never really into it when it aired) and watched them all, then again. I really liked making my character and saw the setting as one with both consistent anchors, and virtually endless possibilities. The constraints: no aliens, no FTL make planning more fun for me.<br><br>
'''Q.''' ''What has kept you interested in this particular game and setting?''<br>
'''A.''' The players enthusiasm (check the logs) and various ways I can explore the Verse.<br><br>
'''Q.''' ''Which NPCs have you enjoyed running the most''<br>
'''A.''' The Operative Clone (Otto/Swordsman) has been fun, mysterious, revelatory. I also enjoyed the ill fated Potemkins. <br><br>
'''Q.''' ''Where do you get ideas for adventures?''<br>
'''A.''' "I try to start small with a simple germ of an idea and let it grow. Intelligent Apes, or Nika's Family Troubles. Then I see if there is a link to some campaign theme or plot hook, then I twist it up. Often the players take it in a direction I never anticipated."<br><br>
'''Q.''' ''This Serenity campaign seems to generate a lot of outside-game writing.  Why?''<br>
'''A.''' I think pooling players from fan-fiction and interactive writing groups rather than hardcore gamers helped that along. They are committed to their character's stories more than gaming the system<br><br>
'''Q.''' ''One last question.  Do you think you will tire of the game and the setting, and go on to something else entirely?''<br>
'''A.'''"Remains to be seen. I think so long as the players are enthusiastic I will be."
