A massively multiplayer online role playing gameset in the Firefly universe has been announced. I am unconvinced it will make a good MMORPG, because the appeal of Firefly was never the worldbuilding, but I’ll be interested to see what they make of it.
(Unfortunately , the firefly convention mentioned in the Wired report has since been cancelled at the last minute, leaving many fans out of pocket.)

Intriguing, but I agree that it’s hard to see the appeal, really. It’s particularly hard to imagine it getting massive subscriptions unless Firefly was secretly a big hit and no-one told me.

Let’s take a series known largely for witty dialogue and characters and make a MMORPG.
Doh!
Good news on the FF convention though, actors turned up for partying anyway. Hooray!
