===== The Idea =====

  * **The B Deck** (possibly a different name?).  The non-bridge crew on a UREF ship in the Battlestations setting - specifically the Deep Ones in Deep Space supplement with Lovecraftian horror elements.  Comedy/Horror  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/12/20 12:54//

===== Old Suggestions =====
Ideas for possible Radio Plays (feel free to add you own):

  * **The Bots**.  Day to day comedy soap opera about the Bots of Alpha Complex.  Just because Paranoia is currently of interest, comedy is a strong area for me, and putting voices through a slight robotic filter will mask any quality problems with voice recording --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/07/05 16:37//
  * **No Capes**.  Basically a radio version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Heroics|No Heroics]], but not set in a pub.  There aren't enough comedies about the day-to-day lives of superheroes --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/07/05 16:37//
  * **Lovecraft**.  Turning Mythos stories into radioplays - because horror works really well as audio IMHO  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/07/05 16:43//
  * **Henchmyn** (non-male suffix) either bond villian or supervillian.--- //MORT  2012/07/10//
  * **The Old Artefact Shop** many spring to mind friday 13 the series warehouse 13 etc could be lovecrafty.--- //MORT  2012/07/10//
    * I think this should be changed to "Ye Olde Artefact Shoppe" just to be generically farcical  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2012/07/31 00:10//
  * **Gamers** characters from different worlds/dimensions SYSTEMS trying to cope with each other tropes of culture shock gameboy nerd spring to mind TORG vs RIFTS --- //MORT  2012/07/10//

===== Roles =====

Roles of those involved are best defined before we begin so we don't have unfounded expectations.  Feel free to add extra responsibilities if you deem you have the time for it:

Peter
  * Producer (duties of - getting it organised, keeping in contact with everyone and making sure progress is made fairly regularly, basically the same as a project manager)
  * Editing (I've some nice software and know how to use it)
  * SFX (I've a small library of effects)
  * Graphic design (if it ever comes that we need artwork done for things)
  * Writer (I'm keen to help write scripts)
  * Voice Actor (I don't mind doing voices)
  * Webmaster (design, hosting)
Jason
  * Writer
  * Voice Actor
Stu
  * Writer
  * Voice Actor
Nick
  * Consultant (ie you have experience, but aren't that keen on being an active participant)
Kath
  * Voice Actor

Possible other roles are: Casting - someone keen to talk to friends about possibly getting them to do some acting. I've not included any technical roles to do with recording as we've got any number of devices with microphones and I don't think we're going for high production values (feel free to disagree if you can volunteer resources)
