    Firefly RPG?!?!?

    See, I don't think so. And, indeed, neither do a lot of other people. There are definite established archetypes for mainstream fantasy - demihumans, magic, dragons, psuedo-medieval/feudal governemntal systems etc. Spaceships are pretty much the only constant in sci-fi, and not even then.

    Firefly RPG?!?!?

    But it's barely sci-fi, even using the definition Jamie uses in the quote above! That is, of course, the problem. What type of sci-fi would this hypothetical RPG be? Hard? Sci-Fantasy? The problem with sci-fi is that everyone wants different things from it.

    Firefly RPG?!?!?

    I do wish there was something that clearly dominated the sci-fi game market, with an established set of norms. It would really stregthen the genre as a gaming sphere.

    Firefly RPG?!?!?

    Overe here on RPG.net, Jamie Chambers talks very briefly about the Firefly/Serenity RPG that we suspected was in the works after a call fro playtesters last year. I wonder what system it'll be for?

    Warhammer bibliography?

    Um... good cash and a cool system? Plus They're probably not dealing with GW. They're dealing with BI, who deal with GW. Nah, the RoC books were pretty early stuff. The first has WFRP stuff, the second didn't so much.

    Warhammer bibliography?

    I'm pretty sure that nothing beyond what was mentioned there was ever published. There certainly wasn't elves of skaven books. My understanding is that James Wallis of Hogshead got sick of runnign a company, gave the liscense back to GW and sold the company. I have a feelign that part fo the...

    Were there clerics in Lord of the Rings?

    I think what Gary is saying is that all of the classes were a combination of a range of factors - taking the cool stuff from everywhere, and sticking it in to the game. I mean Tuck didn't notably cast spells either did he?

    Warhammer bibliography?

    http://www.warhammer.net/novice.php#Q11 I think that covers all the v1 stuff. For v2 only the core book, the adventure pack and the character pack are out.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    I don't know if there's one or not. I never go there cos I pretty much always read good reviews for genre movies there regardless of whether or not the actual movie is any good or not. But just for you I looked... and couldn't see one.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    Well reviews are a bit mixed right now. This one liked it a lot, but this one, which has been slashdotted and can't be read hated it completely. THere's a slashdot discussion I couldn't be bothered reading here. Anyone got a link to a mirror or cache of the one that hated it?

    Warhammer Fantasy Role PLay

    I think that mind games has it for $57... judging from the website, but it's hard to see if it's 1 or 2...

    Warhammer Fantasy Role PLay

    but can't they jut change after their first 100xp anyway? Hey, 1upus how much did you see it for in Australia? I'm thinking of chucking my d20future game and starting a WHRP2 one, but I am a bit broke right now. Also, keep meaning to ask, is there conversion notes in the book?

    Why all the hatin'? Let's love.

    Well, to be honest, if it's not d20 I'd rather play soemthing other than D&D.

    What exactly is the politics/religion rule?

    I think I got the answer I needed, so mods, I can't see this going anywhere useful. Shut it down I reckon.
