Does anyone still play Dragon Star?

[Virtue]

I have all the books but one and im wondering if anyone still plays, and if they do have they posted there ideas as well as new homebrewed material?

I recall stumbling across a reasonably active yahoo group for this recently.

As for me, it's another one of those games I bought but never got to play or run. Though I've used material from it for other space opera games.

I've been wanting to play!

 

[Mycanid]

Hmm ... I never even HEARD of it. :\

Google "Dragonstar" and "Fantasy Flight Games" ... ONLY if you're interested.

It's fantasy meets space opera. Pretty fun stuff. It seems like it was short-lived.

Our group played a few adventures but it either didn't hit a chord with us or we simply had/have too many other campaigns going on and too few hours to play them. A shame it never took off with fans enough to warrant its continued publication (that's my assumption for its termination).

I still think it was a concept with some real potential.

I wonder to what extent it was hurt by not using d20 Modern/Future as the base rules (or waiting to use them).

It was originally described to me as "Spelljammer done right, and in 3e." The person who told me this never liked space travel without appropriately fitting sci-fi weapons.

Which, in hindsight, is not a very good description. Take D&D, throw it in space, add sci-fi elements.

If someone ran a Dragonstar game in our PbP forum, I'd join it.

Do you want a fan's POV, or speculate what they at Fantasy Flight Games are thinking?
