Goodman Games

It was suggested by a friend years back that I try and make a fantasy-western. I went at it with the intent of blending current D&D fantasy elements with the deep mythology of the Wild West. I tried to mold it into a realistic, believable scenario (believable for a fantasy setting, anyways) wher...

I'm sorry for any delays. I'm juggling a few things right now, trying to get some projects off the ground. Please be patient, y'all.

[OOC Sorry about the delay!] Val and Gabe lifted the last heavy block of starship insulation onto the workshop horse. The front had been painted with a very crude drawing of what looked like a pirate. The others had gathered near the door to Medical, some held the weapons they owned, but Jesse just ...

Jesse put her hands up, "I'm not gun-runner. You shoot them yourself." Gabe shook his head, and took the comm, "Everyone into the cargo bay." He sighed and looked at Val, "Guess we seperate the men from the models." Jesse flashed a glare at Gabe, but he ignored it. &quo...

Gabe scratched his jaw. "Not a bad idea, I've got a few layers of insulation, should make for a good target range in the cargo bay. But if I can help it, I'd rather just you and me be the only ones taking to a gunfight. Not that I'm the protective type, but I'd rather not have to deal with one ...

"Yeah right." Lincoln said, crossing his eyes a few times to test them. From the pocket of a grease-stained pair of pants tumbled a small electronic device. Gabe stepped over to Val and picked it up. "This could be it. Lincoln," Gabe said, "See what you can get out of this t...

Act Two Lincoln jumped when the cabin hatch opened, tossing his nudey mag aside violently as he sat up. Gabe strode in, followed by Val. "Hey! Cap! Geez, you... ah, startled ... me." "Ain't anyone ever tell you all your dead relatives are watching while you do that?" Gabe asked,...

Gabe nodded. "We head. Jesse, get us to Persephone. Eddie's buddy's got hell on their tails."

END ACT ONE

That was one heckuva week, huh? lol

Gabe gave the doctor a sympathetic look, then continued on with the item in his hands, slightly cradled like a delicate fabric. He took the stairs up to the crew deck and wandered into the bridge. By then he was grinning. He sauntered up behind Jesse and laid the item on her lap from behind. She too...

The horse makes it safely to the stables, and in an odd display of intelligence, it pulls the door closed behind it with its teeth.

Ox backed against the door and waved Kazi over, "C'mon. I don't wanna meet what's out there."

"Probably something we don't want to know about." Val said. Jesse sighed and went back to staring at space. She wasn't much for tracking nav beacons and thruster emissions. * * * Eddie was crying. He couldn't find the power to scream with his ribs feeling like they did, so he just sobbed. ...

Ox frowned at the horse. "Maybe you should send your horse away." He said, "Or keep it in the stables? I dunno if you wanna be leaving it out here."

Gabe shook his head, "Not right now. Anything we can use to find that ship, we use it. Go on." He waved Val off. * * * Eddie came slowly to consciousness. He recalled... the sky was falling. Then nothing. He opened his eyes slowly, a bright light was shining down on him. He was reminded of...

Lincoln leaned his head to the side to get a full view of Minerva's behind as she walked away, a big grin on his face. "I know all I wanna know." He said, snorting. * * * Jesse passed Minerva as the two headed in opposite directions. "Way to go with the engines, Minerva." She sai...

Ox glanced behind him. "Whole lotta bad vibes. This place is all kinds of weird."

They heard the growl, very close.

"Maybe we'd better get indoors." Ox said, backing away, "That the sound of a predator, though I ain't ever heard any beast make that noise."

Lincoln set his wrench down, his eyes wistful, "Ah, companions. Le sex d'arte. But then they're all oh, I understand your feelings and oh, lemme comfort you on the cares and woes of your life and then they're all oops, there goes your hour. Please get off, you smell of fermented goat cheese . N...

Okay. That moment, with Darren crying and Gabe convincing the captain of the Magellan that he and the dead raider were an item?

Pure. Firefly. Genius.

Kudos to Chris for bringin' in Darren. Couldn't have been funnier.

Lincoln fumbled with the wrench but dropped it, "Of course I've thought about it. But can you imagine the cost for parts? The skin alone would probably buy this ship." He looked at her squarely. "What?" * * * "Don't kill him." Gabe said, "We need him to learn where...

Lincoln smiled sheepishly, "I dunno. I've never flown with him before." He shrugged, "The captain doesn't really talk about himself. Doesn't even swear like normal folk." * * * Gabe merely glanced at Val and Miller, all serious. "I was hoping for a woman, but you'll do."...

The Magellan floated ominously over Redemption , a triple-towered, massive cruiser bristling with weapons. On the bridge of Magellan , the captain entered the clean, bright bridge, adjusting his hat. "Captain on deck!" Someone called. "As you were. Ensign, status?" "Sir, ta...

Heh heh. Gotta end on that cliffhanger. *Grins*

Gabe watched Val wander off then cracked open the cylinder of his handgun and let the empty shells fall to the ground. He poked fresh rounds into the chambers methodically, watching the single dead raider lying dead on his deck, Eddie unconscious on the floor, and a missing crate of MacGruder's good...

Lincoln took the kiss and his eyes went wide. He blinked dumbly. * * * The raider took the burst in the back as he was ducking into the airlock, and slumped in, another corpse falling into the umbilicus. * * * "Close it!" Gabe shouted, leaping from the stairwell. He grabbed the control pan...

Lincoln shook his head, "My hands go where they're needed ." He said, walking around to the other side of the engine, "We can't just adjust some bolts and hope the power comes back, you know that. You reinitialize the engine, and I'll give it the paddles." He dug into Minerva's b...
