Roddenberry may have been inspired by Logan's Run but there's nothing of LR in this. The premise is a fail not because it's PA, but because Roddenberry tried to do ST in a PA setting, on earth.

Otherwise this was awesome silly stuff.
No. I wasn't a fan. GURPS and Traveller. I run a little PBM game on the web for a group of Internet friends. I have them stuck with a dilemma that its taken them three weeks to figure out. It'll be two years that this game plays out this April. I happen to be running Chapter V of what looks to be a scripted series. We archive the plot-lines and this we have instant scripts. It actually works out quite well. You'd be surprised how close to a working script you can get when you have a template posting format and a gamemaster who can edit quickly in Word.

Story
Character
Production (read edit)
Direction
Setting

That works for a character generated storyline.
