So, those who are unfamiliar with this semi-obscure science fiction series? It has a wikipedia page, but that info isn't strictly relevant. The basic premise is a shameless clone of "Lost in Space", because, well, it was written/made by the same people. The primary different being that LoTG wasn't a family, but some passengers and crew of an interstellar transit vessel, and instead of trying to navigate through unknown regions of space, their just trying to survive on 1 alien planet, and occasionally trying to make some progress towards getting off the planet again. The planet is populated by giants that resemble humans very closely, in almost every possible way, including clothing and technological development (albeit far less advanced, their level being closer to what we had on Earth in developed nations during WW2).
That being said, I want to "reimagine" the story, The basic premise is still there- a spacecraft crash landing under unusual circumstances, onto a planet populated by giant creatures, but that's where the similarities end.
The Giants don't resemble humans at all, and the same goes for wildlife/animals; nothing resembling life on Earth (as in, sure, there may be some life that resembles Earth fauna, like big cats, but won't resemble domestic cats of earth, same for arthropod/insectoid life).
The Giants are not as advanced; they're comparatively in their iron age, making and living in stone structures, and forging weapons and armor from simple metals and alloys. The Giants lead violent lives in an aggressive feudal society.
My idea in this is to make a more adventurous story, and I'm doing that by making a setting/environment where the danger is much more pronounced. There will also be a ticking clock, factoring in that search and rescue operations only go on for so long...
I'd prefer 7 players, but would settle for 4, with multiple npcs filling it out a bit.
