Sandbox vs. Railroad spectrum as applied specifically to Transhuman Space

[Keiko]

One suggestion I read for GMing Transhuman Space was too look at it like running a game set in the modern world. You generally wouldn't say "Make up any character you can imagine would work." and try to come up with something for them to do. You'd come up with a framework, possibly one borrowed from other media or franchises, to give the game some structure and direction.

So you might get

CSI+ Transhuman Space

Leverage+Transhuman Space

The A team+Transhuman Space

(mine falls somewhere between those last two)

Suits+Transhuman Space (wasn't there a TV show that was kind of like this?)

Or even

Fringe+Transhuman Space if you want to throw in some non canon elements.
