I've been playing around with using the wiki options over at Obsidian Portal, but I'm getting more and more convinced that running my own domain is the way to go. I'll have to look into MediaWiki when I get something up and running.

That would be great. I'd like to learn more about what you're doing. I think that Savage Worlds is sorely lacking a good space opera setting, and transhumanism has become rather popular. There's some people on the PEGInc forums discussing a conversion of Eclipse Phase.

If you need a better method of organizing your information online, I suggest WikiSpaces (http://www.wikispaces.com/). If you were running your own domain and hosting, I'd suggest installing MediaWiki, but WikiSpaces is a fair alternative.

Thanks for the positive comments about Future Perfect! I wish I'd seen this post back when it was posted! Since i'm the guy writing it, I'm happy to see that at least someone knows it exists. As for your comments: indeed I'm finding blogger to be less than optimal; the blog is more design notes than a complete game; I've been developing the game to the point where I am about to playtest the first plotpoint campaign. The primary concept is effectively a dark space opera in which humanity itself — scattered across space and connected (in part) only via stellar Gateways — stands at the precipice of the future. Humanity's own past is a fabrication, individuals are poised at the brink of evolving past anything or anyone recognizably human, and the notion of identity itself has become something fluid and possibly meaningless. In short, the game is post-cyberpunk, trans-humanist, and focuses on attitude and character development. Unlike many space opera settings, every “race” is human — or at least, once was human. A lot of material explaining these core concepts should filter into the blogger site soon enough.

Well color me interested, do you mind if I email you with my contact information (I can see the email address you post with and I prefer not to post mine for spamming reasons…)?

Now that's interesting, because I'm considering a Google Wave Mushroom Kingdom game.
