So I've been wanting to do this for awhile and now that Rimworld 1.0 is coming out soon it might be a good time to try it out. Basically my idea is to do a "hotseat" style game with Rimworld, where I play for a set duration in game before passing on the save to another player who does the same, and the process continues and loops back around when everyone has had their turn. Rimworld has a very wide range of mods, including a USMC one that we could use. If you've ever read the frantic tale of Boatmurdered, then you'll know of the chaotic stories that these kinds of games can tell.
For the game itself, my initial idea was to have every player involved be a starting colonist/marine at the start of the game. Starting with a larger pool of characters but we could use mods to increase the difficulty with attacks from Xenomorphs, Arachnids, Lovecraftian Horrors and whatever else we want to throw in the mix. The result should be an action filled game where death is always waiting around the corner and every player should have something to deal with during their turn, but with more characters out and about the colony won't be doomed if a few die off early. I'm up for ideas though and it may still be awhile until 1.0 hits so do feel free to make suggestions and we can make the final decision for the game rules, mod and such as a group if it does end up happening.
I reckon it'd be a fun community thing to do and Rimworld seem's to be pretty popular with the SS13 crowd so if you'd be interested in this let us know. If your interested but ya don't have the game, its very easy to learn unlike a certain other game in the genre and def worth the price so do check it out.

We'd probably decide on that as a group, but I'd say something on the harder side since we'll be starting with more colonists and kit if people like the marine idea. I've personally been playing a game with the lovecraft storyteller and he's quite a bit of fun.
