HOLY FUCK SHIT YES YOU ARE THE BEST MOVIE EVER HHNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHH

Underrated story. Great animation.

Is the setting pre or post-Bob?

I liked this movie

You can't fight the Drej!

They're Pure Energy!

Also, the Mantrin are a fucking awesome race.

What system should we use? Traveller?

Fuck yes. Pure energy aliens.

I hate this movie....had to watch it 17 times over the course of a summer, the camp I went to was too cheap to let us see another movie in theaters...even though pokemon had been released that year.

IT'S MAH TUUUUUUUURN TAH FLYYYYYYYYYY

You shut your whore mouth! Like right fucking now! This is pure fucking gold and I will not have you slander it!

>>8785267
The book expanded on that to account for a lot of what's seen in the movie that "Lol Energy Beings" doesn't really explain.

Drej Drones are made of starlight, collected by fiber optics embedded in the surface of the Mothership and coalesced into drej-shape by the will of the Queen, before being enclosed in synthetic envelopes so they can maintain their shape even when she's not paying attention. They also have individual wills, while maintaining a collective awareness.

>>8785304
WHAT THE FUCK HOLY NIGGER SHIT THERE IS A BOOK?!

WHY DID NO ONE MOTHERFUCKING TELL ME?!

NIGGERCUNTS AND SHITFUCK

"pure energy" is meaningless

>>8785304
>They also have individual wills, while maintaining a collective awareness.
>Energy based geth.
Holy shit this is awesome!

>>8785208
The Grimdark in me says: Just before the events of the movie, with humanity scattered to the stars and the drej making a play at killing some more shit.
The Noblebright says: immediately after the events of the movie, with the players trying to reunite the scattered bits of humanity, and working with Cale and Akima to get the world running.

>>8785248
Which one were they? The monk-bats? Or the gun toting kangaroo lady?

>>8785256
Traveller or Rogue Trader, which system you prefer. Definitely Traveller scale though.

>>8785339
It just means it is 100% energy and 0% mass. What's so meaningless about that?

For some reason it's really unknown. I found my copy in a dollar store years ago and haven't seen another one, ever.

It's by Steven and Dal Perry, although I think those might be pseudonyms.

Three chapters were devoted to the story from the Drej's perspective. They were interestingly portrayed. Very alien.

Orange-blue contrast

>>8785191
But I'm not broken,
in my dream I win,
in here I'm nothing,
a cosmic castaway.

Mantrins are the kangaroo-people. They're described differently in the book than they were animated, being more avian, with a parrot-like beak and an oddly pleasant scent, like cinnamon.

I'd go with your Noblebright instincts on this one, because that just sounds like a way more interesting campaign. I'd leave Akima and Cale in the "Big Picture" though, not as DMPC's or what have you.

Have some Akima, whoring it up for the promo art.

>>8785304
Fuck! There was a novelization of it
>amazon.com/Titan-E-Novelization-Steve-Perry
>Steve Perry
The fucking dude who wrote Shadows of the Empire?!?!?!

Fucking sweet.

>>8785363
>Grimdark
>Noblebright
Holy fuck, I can't choose. Both options are equally awesome.

There is only one option. We create two slightly different settings for either.
>Or the gun toting kangaroo lady?
That one.
>Rogue Trader
Never played it actually. This is just a guess, but doesn't it have a lot of mechanics that pretty much only fit into the 40k universe? Traveller feels a bit more generic and fitting.

That said, BRP does anything and does it better than almost everything, is what I always say.

i would consider savage worlds for this one. i did a Serenity one shot with that once

Ok, so maybe I'm mistaken on the authors, and my region is just depressingly book-poor.

Now I am sad.

Plus, the humans have that migrant fleet thing going on.

Holy shit, I can't believe I forgot about those parallels.

...Now I want to see a Titan AE/Mass Effect crossover. Badly.

She always reminded me of the Sirens from Startopia with those purple bits in her hair.

>>8785402
No, I wouldn't have Akima and Cale running around doing much of anything. In fact, they'd probably be miserable just trying to keep Planet Bob from becoming a giant resource war as everyone and their cousin moves in. The movie seems to portray a lot of aliens as 'space hobos' as well, with habitable worlds (that aren't so alien they kill you straight out) as a super-rarity.

As for system, the only reason I mention RT, is that I like its mechanics more than Traveller, but freely admit that Traveller is the more appropriate system.

>>8785520

...I can't believe someone else played that game.

What are peoples opinions? A more gritty feel of the setting with more lethal combat where getting shot just once is a big deal and might kill you? Or more of a heroic stance a la D&D?

Personally I'd prefer the first.

This movie was the best drawn animated film I ever saw.

I'd prefer gritty realism, just because it fits the setting so much better. Getting shot IS a big deal in T:AE. Medical technology is really good, but if you take a focus-burner shot to the leg, you're going down. If you take one to the torso, you aren't getting back up.

i think it would really be both. Noble bright as you seek new worlds and shit like that. Grim dark when you get there and realise it's just another shit hole

This movie is awesome

I will be the single detractor that says this movie is shit.

>>8785556
Gotta go with the grittier combat, even if we prefer the Noblebright post-bob setting. There's nothing about this setting that gives you an excuse to go charging into a firefight like Micheal Bay and hope to come out without having your limbs burned off.

Also, wake angels.

>>8785520
>>8785537
Holy shit, other people played Startopia?

The animation might have been good if it didn't fucking stutter. Story wasn't too bad though.

>>8785656
Not enough of us... Not enough.
But while we're at it, Startopia might also make for a good setting for a rather lighthearted campaign.

Okay guys, let me throw something completely crazy out there.

Titan AE

PLUS

Mass Effect

+PLUS+

Beyond Good and Evil

DOES THIS EQUAL A THREEWAY MADE IN HEAVEN OR AM I JUST BEING A FAGGOT?!

>>8785653
Could name the planet they eventually settle on "Hiigara".

Keep your peanut butter out of my chocolate.

>>8785702

QUICK! THROW KASVAGORIANS AT THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT GOES AWAY!

I'm confus

>>8785802
Yo dude, it's PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE JELLY TIME

WEEOO
WEEOO

>>8785805

Don't pet the kitty! No! NO! NOOOOOOO!

>>8785708
Mass Effect has spent the last three months boning all the fillies. Replace with Outlaw Star.

Holy damn, I don't even have words.

>>8785859
Oh 'sup.

We're gonna need more Kasvagorians.

FUCK YES OUTLAW STAR.

>>8785708

Beyond Good & Evil? Much as I love Jade (and I do. I very much do) I don't think it matches up with Mass Effect. Too... I dunno... French.

>>8785859

As much as I love T:AE, Outlaw Star is god-tier.

Yeah sure whatever stop bothering me. I'm busy looking at Mother here.

>>8785864
>Titan AE + Outlaw Star
I can get behind this.

>>8785966

You fool you've doomed us all!

>>8785899
I feel it matches up perfectly with Titan AE though.

As does Mass effect. So Titan AE is kind of the common denominator, and I feel like it might work and be awesome. This is far from a sure thing, but hell if I can't help but feel psyched about it.

>>8785981
Samefag here,

"'Eyyy, it's your ol' pal Arona 'ere, I got a fresh shipment of used grappler ships for you- let me tell you, you don't want to talk economics with a Ctarl-Ctarl without a gun handy. Any way, what're you buyin'?"
