TransGalaxy is one of the largest shipping corporations in the galaxy.  They will send anything anywhere, and they will hire just about anyone to do it.

But you're not just anyone.  You're special (or "special") enough to have gotten yourself hired on one of their Class D freighters.  That means that you get the most dangerous jobs.  Delivering hazardous materials, flying into war zones, you name it - if no one else wants to do it, you will.  And not because you want to any more than the next guy (though maybe you do), but because you signed a 5-year contract.  And the fine businessfolk at TransGalaxy don't have much patience for employees who violate their contracts.

----------------------

Bulldogs is a sci fi game based on the FATE system.  It's got aliens aplenty, spaceship combat, interstellar empires, and more.  The tone I'm aiming for here is something like Red Dwarf + Futurama, directed by Guy Ritchie.  There will be moments of seriousness, there will be moments of far-from-seriousness, there will be character work, there will be explosions.  Let's have some fun with this.

As always, beginners welcome; just let me know in the RTJ what you lack so I can help you out.  If you have the FATE Core rulebook but not Bulldogs then you have most of what you need to know, and I will fill you in on the rest.  If you have neither of those then you are still welcome to join in, although I do encourage you to get at least one of those two books (especially since a FATE Core pdf is name-your-price).

I am opening up the game for 1-2 more players.  Join the crew of a heavily armed delivery ship as they negotiate (or "negotiate") with thieving thugs, "property recovery" squads, and a mysterious mastermind who they are just starting to learn about.

Knowledge of Fate Core and/or Bulldogs is helpful, but not required.  Send questions or RTJs at the game link.

In reply to psychojosh13 (msg # 2):

I might be interested in creating a character for this game.  Quick caveats; I am familiar with FATE, but I haven't actually played in many games.  I am not familiar with Bulldogs, but if it's just a modified FATE core I can muddle through with some explanations.  I am new to RPoL, as I was just referred here from the G+ Fate community, so I want to make sure this is a play-by-post site/game.  I have little chance to dedicate scheduled hours to sitting down for hangouts or skype.

If this won't fit with your game just let me know, no hard feelings.  Otherwise give me the run down on what I need to know (setting wise) to create a character.  :)

This is indeed play-by-post, with everyone chiming in when they have the time.

Bulldogs is based on Fate v3, but we're mostly using the Core rules in cases where they differ, so no worries there.  If you're interested, head over to the game, click on "Request to Join," and drop me a line.  I can fill you in more over there regarding the setting.

And with that, the game is full until further notice.

"Further notice" has arrived.  There's room for a couple more crew members if anyone wants to join up.

Got more interest than I have room to accommodate, so we're closed again.  If you missed it, feel free to drop me a line and I can add you to the wait list.

Some come in, others drop out, and once again I have room for a couple new players.  Robots, aliens, and intrigue!

And we're closed again.  Lurkers are always welcome if you still want to drop by.

We're down to three players right now, and I'd like to bring it back up.  As the story moves on, more options are opening up for new PCs.  Knowledge of the FATE system or Bulldogs setting are not necessary, though it doesn't hurt.
