Aiming for a specific system or keeping it system agnostic?

Hi there everyone! 

Great to see so many people join. Before we launch, let's discuss some of your initial ideas. Are you planning your tables to be designed for a specific system or do you think you'll keep them broad and open? :)

I have something up for SLAV BORG, that can also be used in any other game that uses cars and/or electronic music. I'll use some spray paint cans from my garage to create a background for it in traditional SLAV BORG fashion.

That sounds rad! We'll need more gas!

I'm currently working on my own game that is a mix of pro wrestling and dystopian game shows like Squid Game and the Hunger Games, so the table will be unique to that.

That's great! I've actually read a comic book based on a somewhat similar concept, it's such a great vibe! Can't wait for the table and for the actual game :)

I'd be keen to produce something for Mothership and could be used in other Sci-Fi TTRPGs too.

Can't miss with Mothership! And yeah, most ideas should be usable with Death in Space and other space RPGs!

This is also my plan.

I'm developing a scifi space opera ttrpg but the tables should be generic enough to help with most sandbox systems like Traveller, SWN, Starfinder or some of the OSR (Mothership etc). 

I have tables for NPC Plans (situations for players to get stuck into) Tactical situations (mission design), and locations (very much based on Tome of Adventure Design) to spark ideas.

Would it be permissable to place the title of my would-be RPG in the header like Remnant Space - NPC Planner? Or is that too corporate/notpunk for this jam? I'm far away from any kickstarter (1-2 years at current production rate) this would actually be my first jam!

I'm designing mine for my medieval fantasy system Fatal Tomb, but it should drop straight into most fantasy TTRPGs without any changes.
