Comparison

I've been watching both Alfas and Heroes on Netflix lately, I like both but I would rather gm Alfas because more work is put into rationale for abilities and it's more balanced. As a player I would take whatever advantage I could, but as a rule I don't usully play what I wouldn't gm. Also I prefer scifi tech at a level where players can't just solve everything with a nano tool, more at the level of Enterprise where the best they can do is warp 5 and no deflectors yet. Again, I think more challange equals more drama, and more fun for all. Old school is the best school.

RPG Virtual Tabletop

Recently I have been turned on to roll20 a virtual tabletop which allows for about any tabletop. I'm planning to run 4th ed Hero from Fantasy Hero Western Shores for a couple of friends the map is the main thing but also dice voice and video are all included, for now its free for regular pc browsers Chrome is the most compatible, I don't think it will remain free forever.

GMing

I don't get a chance to run a game often but I do find I have an aptitude at times I ran a game of Stars Without Number for our usual gm last week to the end of a chapter, we had fun but I know Hero System is what I know best he has an itch for fantasy so that is how I would run it. Hopefully we could get one or two others involved and play every other week.
In the SWN game we uncovered a secret of a cyberpunk type planet that a group of AIs really run the show and are using the planet as their game board and the pieces  being corporations and people.
We picked up a passenger who was one of them but was tired of playing you can't trust AIs but I don't want fight one either and this one knows stuff. He has been friendly so far.
