A very hard Q, as I tend to modify or at least add to all games. We use some 'universal' systems across all games, such as card initiative. I have not played a game without additions for a long time. Starting a Star Wars version of Coriolis/Mutant Year Zero games right now, but again, greatly...

Loving this game ATM. Although not using the setting (we are doing a Star Wars game using this system) I recommend it to any sci-fi lover. Great setting. Cool rules. I might just have to pick up this adventure anyway :)

I don't think Derren was 'writing this one off'. But he has a very valid point. I often find it very hard describing all the 'hits' when lasers & bullets start flying. Such systems don't seem deadly enough and describing endless grazed shots etc can sound odd. Whittling down of HPs has proven...

Ordered on BackerKIT. Yay.

I like even simpler systems where you get something every 4-5 XP. Could use this syst with 10 maybe. 13thAge broke levels into increments. I liked that too. Choose what you get from next level in pieces :) Still. I need to give this a good look.

At Wade Dyer... that story is awesome. What a way to turn it around. I was always tempted to have 'local authorities' deal with PCs, but that is so much better and fulfilling. Kudos.

Here pretty much. Kickstarter. And visiting companies actual websites.

Yeah, it was Savage Worlds that showed me the way of less prep. Mind you, I went to SW during D&D 4E. There was something about 4E play that I did not like, but as a GM it was also fantastic for helping me prep less - esp monsters. I love running sessions with nothing more than a few random...

I would have to recommend Nyambe- African Adventures (Atlas Games, Chris Dolunt). Don't even need to look it up, I have recommended it sev times and have a thread on here re African Adventures. I used Chris's PDFs before he got a publishing deal. A great starting place, esp for creatures, take...

I am so surprised that I don't see more of the Coriolis stuff everywhere. Absolutely love what Free League Publishing are putting out. Brilliant stuff. More survivable than Mutant:Year Zero. Although the setting with this is fantastic, my players wanted a Star Wars game, so I converted this! I...

I cannot recommend this book more. Love it. This system has become my #1 go to system, though using the more survivable version presented in Coriolis (where Strength & Agility are combined into hit points). Found Strength being you health that decreases making rolls harder very brutal. But I...

Thanks. I did not see/understand the CoreRPG & MoreRPG entries. :)

Is the Numenera % for ALL Cypher system games or have the core rules not been adapted for FG? If it is for all, that seems a little low - good game. Also a shame not to see Mutant: Year Zero / Coriolis on there - I take it that ruleset is not on there either? They really need a 'core' ruleset...

1/day 1 reroll. Sounds... awesome... not. Try 1/encounter would be ideal. Seriously, saving all day for 1 reroll?

Um, this looks awesome. I long ago left this system bhnd, but willing to return for this. Or use their stuff for Coriolis-rules games. Either way, I am having a bit of a boon in Sci-Fi ATM, so I will definitely get a hold of this :)

That cover artwork is amazing!

Yeah, I was sure I would see Fragged Empire here too. Western looks very tempting even for just the art to use in Deadlands etc.

Very good. (I don't worry too much about balance myself - this sounds fun). BTW: I have a more recent version of the Flaws/Drawbacks. Here is the link: http://connorscampaigns.wikidot.com/all-drawbacks There have been some new ones added, inc Obsession, which is similar to the Kleptomaniac...

Cool review. Don't know a lot about Rifts, but seems to remind me a little of our Strange game where you can jump around genres and settings a lot :) Love me some Savage Worlds, but we also tweaked it a lot. In fact, we used it as the basis for our own game we called "B&B" (Bashed & Borrowed...

Wow, the basics of Starfighter combat sound a LOT like Coriolis. Starting with Engineer phase distributing energy etc.
