Default New PBW Game Idea

I had an interesting idea for a PBW game. It would be a 5000 point start, but every player must take 2 racial tech traits. I'm thinking of setting it up so that all races start with level 1 in the theoretical racial techs. Also, at least APBs, DUCs, and PPBs would be disabled, to encourage the use of the racial weapons. Does this sound interesting?

Interesting. I am in only one other game. Perhaps I might be interested in this one. Will it be open to everyone?

I would be interested in this concept, however, I think the techs should be manually assigned, I wouldn't want to see 5 Religious/Psychic in the same game, and only that many players, as many different combos as there are. Although I studied the laws of probability in high school, let's just say it's been many years and many beers.

Well... that depends on how many people want to play what combinations.

The game would definitely be open to all. I'm thinking maybe a 7 or 8 player game.

A game like that would be interesting under SJ's P&N, where there are crossover techs for the racials...

Since I am now offically out of one game, I can join another. I would play a race with Temporal Psychic abilities.
