I want to say yes but I don't know the rules and I'm already on two PbPs.
I once ran a Cyberpunk game where the Solo who sold the party out was named Le Plante. That's the sort of trick which only works once, although your post has made me think there may be one more shot left in that tank.

Yeah, I got away a couple of times stealing names from the Malazan series, but then my best friend started reading the series, so I had to give it up.

From the above paragraph, I'd wind up with something like Haswor or Exton.

Nowadays, we still occasionally do this (without the roadtrip, of course); we just name the NPCs after restaurants and hotels, just for the fun of it.

Any suggestions on the best way to play these games online? They will be regular sessions, I know I want voice chat in all three as well and we play for around 4 hours. Any recommendations would be appreciated, especially considering the quirks of each system. The Star Wars game has me having particular kittens in how to run it online well.

In roll20 I think you need to use one of their frameworks which I don't know about as I'm not that level of subscriber. For Hangouts you need the link to the plug in which I could give you when I get home.

Plus side if this turns out as good as other savage world products there is 25 years of world info available out there to help support it.

Honestly, naming most of your characters Mr. Johnson or Mr. <Food Chain> is cyberpunk as fuck. As long as that's just the cover name they're using.
woops did not know that gave it the chop.
Primarily because of the Savage Worlds thing.

It does 40k fairly well.

Wait, is there a conversion somewhere or just fan stuff?
For 40k I'm actually kinda happy with the FFG stuff even if I think the game systems are not very elegant or anything. If sort of reflects the aesthetics of the setting for me.

I haven't looked at the second edition yet, how's that?

I tried to get some help from some Facebook friends, but as anyone familiar with it knows, Exalted is a self contained world with it's own rules and vast expanded universe. While you can compare it to a few things such as "over the top martial arts kung fu/wuxia set in feudal China or Japan, but everyone's power level is over 9000", or as I had to explain to one other friend who loves Undertale...
I'm not too concerned about which Caste to choose, mostly because I haven't gotten that far. Since a game of Exalted usually means everyone has some good attack and defense charms, and combat is expected, I can run with that as a base and then flesh out my future role. This makes me naturally inclined to be a Dawn Solar, and I'd be okay with that, but I'm not sure I want to pick the typical Dawn character who was a natural leader, a soldier, a mercenary, a strategist, etc. Really, the world as far as a character concept is so open to me, that I can't decide on an interesting one at all.
I'm much more used to a game like D&D, where you pick a class, and then you can build a concept the fits the class. Exalted is more open than that. I can't decide on one occupation or concept that I like enough to build a story and exaltation scenario around. Any ideas or feedback would be welcome.

On this episode of Weekly Affirmations, Strix takes her friends through the first part of Monsterhearts a game where you "create stories about sexy monsters, teenage angst, personal horror and secret love triangles. When you play you explore the terror and confusion that comes with both growing up, and feeling like a monster.

Agreed. I want to reflavor the Selkie concept to fit a Creature from the Black Lagoon character badly. He'd totally be the star of the swim team.

I, on the other hand, am always down for pansexual orgies and feeding on people's blood, flesh, and/or souls.
In games.
Of course...

I think 90% of PbP die a quick death. As much as I enjoy them I've stopped looking for new ones because I'm always so let down when they die.
