Solar Empires
I've finally settled on a name for the Sci-fi setting we have been playing our "Station 42 War" and "Maxed Out" games in. I'm going with "Solar Empires". I had previously called the setting "3031" and "Moon Miners and Terraformers". I didn't like the first choice because it seemed silly to name a setting for a single date and I didn't like the second one because it was a mouth full and sounded dated. I Google searched "Solar Empires" to check for conflicts and found that there was a video game named "Sins of a Solar Empire" but no game or anything titled just "Solar Empires" Although this is merely a personal setting for my home games I would like to have an original title if possible in case I decide to develop it in the future.
I feel this name reflects the various different factions well. Governments, corporations, and criminal enterprises can often be called "Empires" and since my setting is based on the Solar System it seemed like the best choice.
I have some basic setting notes that we have actually been using for a couple of years now that I have not published because I was never satisfied with the setting name. I have now created a new page for those notes on this blog here: http://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/p/solarempires-nathan-miller-2013.html
I plan to add some artwork to the page as soon as we create some. As it stands it is just a big block of text and I want to make it more interesting to read.
