[QUOTE="karlindel, post: 5204772, member: 27103"] I think that number of people interested in a space opera rpg that are not interested in a Star Wars rpg is much larger than you think. Although Star Wars is a very popular universe, there are a LOT of space opera universes out there in novels, and a lot of stories that can be told that do not involve the conceits of the Star Wars universe. I personally would be more interested in the SAGA system if it were not tied to the Star Wars universe. I have several friends that enjoy space opera, but would not even consider purchasing it because it was so tied to Star Wars, which they are not interested in. There are many space opera games that do not involve Star Wars: Alternity Babylon 5 Blue Planet (may be closer to Hard Sci Fi) Fading Suns (my personal favorite) Farscape Jovian Chronicles Prime Directive/Star Trek Robotech Serenity Space 1889 Star Frontiers (admittedly very old) Trinity There are also a number of generic systems that support space opera: Big Eyes Small Mouth GURPS HERO system Savage Worlds [/QUOTE]
