Oh *I've* got the helm...

Hey,

So there's this indie game out called Artemis. The pitch is that you're the crew of a starship and you boldly go, etc.

The twist is that you play on a team of six people. All of you really are the crew and one guy sits in the middle and acts as captain. It's a high-tech Star Trek LARP (or Red Alert, the LARP).

I kinda desperately want to play this. Preferably with someone who has a projector so the captain's "main screen" really is. The game is $40, but that includes a license for the six computers you need to play and I'd totally spring for it.

Oh wow. That sounds amazing. Please count me in, if you get it together.

Me and several friends just bought this. We haven't tried it yet. Review to follow.

bronzite has a copy, and occasionally hosts such games.

So have you seen it in action? Is it any good?

I've played it. It's a fun team combat sim.

Very interested, but desperately short on free time. If a game opportunity does come up, keep me informed just in case the stars align and I can drop in.

I saw this reviewed on Ars, and was instantly interested.
Is it moddable? :D

I know you can set up a station for a "GM" who can throw things at you and I know that you can link starships together for some PvP action, but that's about it.

I would so totally be into playing this game I can't even.
