Fuck this sounds epic in scope. When you make it make sure you hire a concept artists and go wild with the vivid descriptions to him. Cool art really helps sell the setting and you need tons of unique and interesting designs to go along with your lore. So many potentially great sci fi settings get bogged down/held back with generic art. The art/designs are the hook that draws people in, then the cool/interesting lore is what keeps them.

But a 50k year spanning timeline is pretty insane though, with multiple wars and hundreds of factions. Sounds fucking baller. Cosmic horror is pretty cool too, especially when mixed with space. I've only read a bit of lovecraft and played some of the games but it's a pretty good setting. But the idea of spare faring aliens, not a technological race, but almost like space fauna that live in no atmospheric zone, and can prey on ships and stuff is fucking great. I've actually got 2 ideas, one for a game, and one for a film that delves with this concept in the works right now. I need to quit being lazy and turn them into proper scripts/pitch documents already though instead of just being detailed story notes. By the way, what is your opinion on the early drafts for Alien 3 with the wooden planet?

But yeah I go for the rulebook/sourcebook, we've got to do something in the meantime waiting for Link to moon.
