Hello Friends
TLDR: Is there interest in me running a game using the One Roll Engine with the setting of the Canadian Science Fiction television show "Travelers"?
LONG FORM: It is a show about people from the future trying to prevent the apocalypse by time traveling. But the catch is they can only transfer their consciousness into the body of a person from the 21st century. They have to take over that person's life, accomplish their mission, and not be discovered. More information on Netflix, the US host of the show (

I've been wanting to try the One Roll Engine (ORE) system for a while, but it is older and somewhat fallen out of the limelight. My main interest is in seeing if the promise of quick but detailed play is suited for an online venue like RPOL. There is a free version of the game, Nemesis, (

Since my main interest is in the system, I have been wracking my brain trying to come up with a setting. I realized that Travelers might be a good fit, and is on demand now so it is in people's awareness. Also I really like the show, and think about it and the setting a lot anyway.
Any interest in that? Or in ORE with another setting?
